The irony to me is that he just voted to overturn the Chevron doctrine. There's no way that doesn't lead to a huge increase in the number of laws.

In only the most technical sense. Practically speaking, reducing the set of restrictions from laws, narrowly-constructed rules and broadly-constructed rules to just the first two will reduce restrictions. (I personally believe most of those restrictions are valid. But there are good arguments for and against Chevron.)

Read the article, it also calls out regulations, and the growth of guidance documents.
