the more the merrier

Juliet Eilperin, writing in The Washington Post of the Obama’s administration reasoning on pushing through regulations in the final months:

While Republicans are already warning that they will reverse some of the rules Obama will issue during the last months of his presidency, White House officials are determined to move ahead, reasoning that having more rules in place will force the new administration to choose which ones are worth the time and effort of reversal.

Hilarious and kind of sad.
