And every regulator they hire means 20 private sector workers losing their jobs.

Obama's America = Suicide Nation.

Most of the EPA’s regulations are bad for business and will kill what is left of our country. What we need is a commitment from all GOP candidates is a promise to kill the EPA on their first day in office.

Is the EPA constitutional? Should they really exist? A clean environment really ought to be a state/county/city issue.

Heard someone cheering about this saying, "this is how a government creates jobs!"

I tried to point out that these were jobs that made the business less productive and added nothing to the bottom line. I don't think what that actually meant quite got through.

Eliminate the EPA. Eliminate their job killing regulations. No need for 230,000 fascist government agents trolling private industry for opportunities to employ more lawyers.

NWO. Our government under Obama, and previous administrations has been focused on the United Nations agenda for the 21st Century aka; Agenda 21.

All these rules from the EPA are for UN priorities, NOT for us. NOT for the good of our people, but for their agenda.

“H” Obamacare IMO is also for United Nations Agenda 21 to ultimately control the Earths population.

“EPA: Regulations would require 230,000 new employees, $21 billion”

There’s a term for this: metastasis. Like cancer, it feeds off the body, growing itself larger and therefore, feeding off the body more.

EPA's total workforce at present is under 18,000.

It's simply not feasible for them to hire on 250,000 more employees.

They are too stupid and have few people skills. I can just imagine their face to face interviews ~ they'd be levying fines on applicants for farting out of turn.

Let me assure you that your proposal wouldn't work at all. 100% of all the penalties referenced in a regulation are backed up by statutes passed by Congress and signed by the President.

Regulators would not be choked off.

“the number of businesses forced into this regulatory regime would grow tremendously — from approximately 14,000 now to as many as 6.1 million.”

Seig heil! This is fascism.

I would vote for anyone who promised to do away with the EPA! These people are a danger to America and they have been allowed to run roughshod over us for way too long. ENOUGH!!

But the agency is still asking for taxpayers to shoulder the burden of up to 230,000 new bureaucrats

"He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance."

Obama thinks the way to establish a healthy environment for job growth is to make government even bigger.
