Republicans in Washington: more regulations to fight too much regulation (wth?)

Check this out: the GOP leadership in Washington proposed and is trying to pass a bill in Congress to make yet more government regulation so they can fight too much regulation in government. Seriously. I'm not kidding. It was in the Star earlier today: House Republicans pass major anti-regulation bill "In an ambitious gesture to their business allies," (meaning, they took yet more "campaign contributions", first) "...House Republicans passed legislation Friday to reduce what the GOP calls "an avalanche" of unneeded, costly regulations. Opponents call the bill an attempt to prevent the government from protecting Americans at their workplaces, in their homes and when they want a breath of fresh air...Republicans insist the mostly technical legislation would simply force federal agencies to follow presidential directives that have often been ignored - including seeking with the lowest cost." So, again, to be clear, they're adding yet more regulation, so they can prove that there's too much regulation. Y'all wanna' 'splain that to me, one more time? And this is not hypocritical why?
