The federal register (sum of all US federal regulations) is orders of magnitudes larger than it was 40 years ago. I don't think a quantity argument is interesting (there is definitely more regulations). Possibly there is a quality ar

yup, the uni-party (that has always been there) may come out of the shadows. Although that will break the illusion of team red vs. team blue that has maintained power for 30+ years.
