“Obama said that EPA regulations are good for the economy and create jobs”
How many PRODUCTIVE JOBS does this monster create? Of the jobs “created” how many are created outside of the DC metro?
When you have the answer to those two questions, President Jugears, let me know so I can ask a few more that are pertainent. Of course since I am not a member of the spoon fed MSM, I don’t expect an answer in this eon.
Of course, EPA regulation destroy vastly more jobs than they ever could create, but Obama chooses to ignore that intended effect whenever not mentioning it would be politic (which is almost always). Remember, Obama aims to “create or save” 4 million jobs. Bush, by contrast, quietly “created or saved” 134 million jobs throughout his entire presidency. The locution “create or save” indicates that Obama takes credit for every job which he deigns not to destroy.
You spend tons and tons of money on cleaning ups some old dump, and at the end of the day you still just have a dump. No new car, no new appliance, book, road, - nothing!
We were only fixing problems. Granted, fixing problems needs to be done - but I realized that some day, spending a bunch of money to fix old problems was going to stop, or bankrupt the company. And figured it would end someday. Instead, they are now bankrupting the COUNTRY. And now it isn't to fix old problems, but to fix imaginary problems like global warming.
Thankfully the environmental uses of my services are on the wane (pain in the butt with all of the regulations), but the engineering aspects are growing. And often are used to PREVENT problems from arising - which IS a productive thing.
I'll never forget when the EPA (or some such - it may have been OSHA, NIOSH, Etc.) came up with some limit on some chemical (say 1 part per billion), and even the lab instruments at the time could only read to something like 10 parts/billion!
