It won’t come as any shock to
you, but the yearly cost of federal
regulations rose to more than $1.75
trillion in 2008...about 14% of
U.S. national income. If you add
the federal tax burden of 21%,
this amounts to 35% of national
income.
So, one out of every three dollars
earned is required to pay for
or comply with federal laws and
regulations. The new policies enacted
for health care and financial
services will increase this burden.
Nicole and Mark Crain,
economic professors at Lafayette
College, are authors of “The Impact
of Regulatory Costs on Small
Firms,” published by the U.S.
Small Business Administration
Their studies show that “...
small businesses bear a disproportionately
large share of regulatory
costs. The portion of these costs
that fall initially on businesses
overall was $8,086 per employee
in 2008. But these costs are not
borne equally by businesses of all
sizes.”
The Crain report notes that,
“small businesses–those with
fewer than 20 employees–incur
regulatory costs 42% greater than
firms with between 20 and 499 employees
and 36% greater than firms
with more than 500 employees.
The regulatory costs per employee
for small businesses was $10,585,
compared to $7,454 for medium
firms and $7,755 for large firms.”
This disadvantage varies
across the economy and in the
case of manufacturing the cost
difference is particularly large.
The disadvantage for small business
is driven by environmental
regulations, tax compliance, and
occupational safety and homeland
security rules.
“In per-household terms, the combined
federal burden of regulation and
taxes is a remarkable $37,962. Increased
transparency in both the cost and benefit
side of the regulation equation is
necessary to determine whether what
we spend is worth the 35% of national
income that it costs. This is particularly
true now that the government is making
a great effort to stimulate the economy
while increasing regulations costly to
businesses,” the Crains concluded.
In an article, “The Rising Tide of
Red Tape,” the Heritage Foundation
points out that the Code of Federal
Regulations hit a record high of 163,333
pages in 2009, an increase of some
22,000 pages since 2000.
The fiscal 2011 budget calls for direct
expenditures by regulatory agencies
of over $59 billion, an increase of 4.1%
over fiscal 2010, and 8.9% over 2009.
So far this year the Administration has
adopted some 25 major new regulations.
That’s higher than the full year total for
all but one year since 1997.
Since it appears to us that congressmen
seldom read the bills they pass,
let alone the ensuing regulations, it’s
vital that they start establishing more
“sunset” clauses to remove outdated
regulations and reduce the amount of
paperwork.
However, it’s not all bad news on
the regulation front. It appears that more
and more businesspeople are understanding
they can’t just leave everything
up to Joe Congressman. They’re taking
action against bad legislation and overly
expensive regulations. They’re not only
contacting their representatives, but
are joining their trade associations and
societies that now have highly qualified
CEOs that are in touch with the legislative
process daily and are indeed making
a difference.
Even President Thomas Jefferson
recommended... “a wise and frugal government,
which shall restrain men from
injuring one another, which shall leave
them otherwise free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry and improvement,
and shall not take from the mouth
of labor the bread it has earned.”
