admin Alternative Media, Blogosphere, Geopolitics, Government

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that the page count of federal regulations has increased over ninefold since 1960.
‘In 1960, there were approximately 20,000 pages in the Code of Federal Regulations,’ said Trump during remarks at the White House. ‘Today, there are over 185,000 pages.’
Verdict: True
Pages in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) illustrate how federal rules – some of which don’t impact businesses – have grown over time.
Fact Check:
The CFR is the collection of all final rules and regulations issued by federal agencies. Historical tables produced by the Office of the Federal Register show how these rules have grown in recent decades.
