Once again, the policies of the current Administration, this time promoted by a politicized EPA and supported by economically hostile environmentalists, are consciously electing to shackle the prospects of robust economic recovery.
During a period of economic downturn that the current White House occupant has declared as ”the worst since the Great Depression” the EPA’s decided that now’s the time for counties in Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, the Dakotas, Kansas, Minnesota and Iowa to join counties in Texas, California, and the northeastern coast in conforming to stricter regulations which will cost tens of billions of dollars to implement?
Exactly how on earth is this helpful to business within these regions? How much growth will be lost due to an imposed need to divert monetary assets to the fulfillment of these government requirements? How much revenue will be lost to the IRS as a result of a defacto cap on jobs creation caused by forced implementation of these new regulations?
To paraphrase: How many jobs won’t be “saved or created”?
What will this do to the energy costs of people living within these areas? The more families are forced to spend on their energy needs, the less they’ll have left for discretionary spending, which currently accounts for seventy percent of America’s economy.
How much discretionary spending will exist is there’re no businesses left to employ people? Why is the American economy so dependent on consumer spending?
However, I digress…
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said: “Using the best science to strengthen these standards is long overdue action that will help millions of Americans breathe easier and live healthier.”
Exactly how much are people going to enjoy this new, healthier air quality while they’re inflicted with unnecessarily higher energy costs, job losses and less energy security? Won’t it be a great comfort knowing we’re all breathing easier while we’re standing in unemployment, welfare, or soup lines ?
“I’m broke, sleeping on a park bench and starving, but boy that air sure smells sweet…brother, can you spare a dime?“ Read more here.
WASHINGTON – The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday proposed stricter health standards for smog, replacing a Bush-era limit that ran counter to scientific recommendations.

All of this seemingly ridiculous behavior can be explained by two thins: 1. Sustainable Development 2. Agenda 21
Never heard of it? Neither had I, until I found it on the net. It is a part of the globalists to reorganize our environment "for the best of the planet", which eventually will dictate where (and how many) humans will be permitted to live.
Crazy, conspiratorial stuff, huh? But when I read some of the plans that have already been mapped out (look on epa.gov), which are puzzling and appear senseless, this is all I can find that explains it...

The gov't roll today is not about making our life easier, its about how much they can cripple us and make us dependent on them. One sure way to usher in a new agenda is to make the people dependent.
I'm totally with you Susan, sustainable energy and development. The EPA has been given authority which should have never been given to this group. In fact why is the EPA hell bent on destroying this country and crippling it to the point where it can take care of it self? Instead we are to suffer at the hands of special interest groups who live as they want unaffected by the policies they enforce upon us. This is right nor is it fair. Socialism, in one word! The rich get richer and the poorer get poorer.
Will we ever be free of any of this, no! Not until we rid ourselves of the UN and the EPA. Its only a matter of time....
This is typical of govt today to spend money we don't have in things we don't need in a time when we need (personally) than ever before. That's our govt hard a work for us!
