In 2020, the Clean Air Act will prevent 230,000 premature deaths and result in $2 trillion in economic benefits, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported on Tuesday. The EPA report, required by law, assesses the costs and benefits of the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments, which overhauled the country’s premier air-pollution law and included restrictions on ozone and a range of toxic air pollutants. “The Clean Air Act’s decades-long track record of success has helped millions of Americans live healthier, safer and more productive lives,” EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said in a statement.

Don’t you love these unprovable factuals? “will prevent 230,000 premature deaths”

Why doesn’t the GOP come out with their own to show how stupid these are?

Here’s one,

Eliminating the EPA will eliminate “233M premature deaths”, ah, that’s a great idea!!!

Idiots!

I swear to the Gods... Someone has Dan Rather writing all of the FedGov's press reports for them lately. "Fake, but accurate".

"Eleventy-billion people will be murdered if we don't keep people from (insert asinine cause de jure here)!" /EPA.

End the EPA. Now...

In other words, the Clean Air Act will cure cancer!

[TrueKnightGalahad]

Why stop there? I have it on good authority that secret internal EPA documents prove that a millionbajillion lives will be saved, and the dollars generated by the Act would reach to infinity...and beyond.

Since when have these leftist fools been worried about saving lives (except for their own and America's enemies)?

Environmentalism = communism.
