Canada has adopted a law that requires for that every new rule created an old one must be eliminated. It has produced measurable results:

Note that no one really knows how many Federal Laws the US has.

Should we implement the same rule? Why or why not?

We should adopt a 5 for 1 rule.
"You can judge the sickness of a society by the number of laws it has"
Slash & Burn bureaucracy wherever it pops it's ugly head. It's all "overhead."
How many years did it take to get rid of the national tea taster? How many years did it take to get rid of the dairy farm at the Naval Academy?

I really enjoy the fact that we have unelected bureaucrats creating arbitrary regulations that carry the full weight of law who can penalize people with forfeiture of property rights, heavy fines, and/or prison sentences. We need over-regulation like I need a hole in my head. Oh wait, I take that back. I've seen the images of "citizens" being lined up at mass graves because they refused to comply with some arbitrary order.
