First off, whell, 13,000 regs versus 12,400 is an increase of 4.6%, hardly a "spike". Plus, of all these regulations, only 330 were considered "major", up from 266 under Bush.
Also, the article just tosses around a bunch of numbers. It doesn't address the nature of the regulations at all.
Finally, the report cited in the article is from the Heritage Foundation, a Libertarian "think tank" with a long history of issuing misleading reports in the service of their extreme agenda.
As usual, the link you offer doesn't support your point.
