Let’s face it.

The purists in the Obama Administration don’t care if their policies destroy the American economy...

The Obama EPA’s latest piece of regulation will cost at least $11 billion a year.

It’ll simply drive business overseas to places where things are conducted far less greenly than the status quo here.

[bigbob]

Wrong - they not only care that they wreck the US economy - they’re COUNTING ON IT!

[WHBates]

The EPA need to be stopped there is nothing that they do that is worth preserving. If necessary a more restricted version can be created if necessary at a later date.

When I saw the title of the post, I was wondering. Now, which idiotic new rule is the EPA promulgating? They are coming fast and furious and are designed to take more money out of our pockets and destroy the economy.

...the “change” most of us feared, the “change” the spineless GOP failed to stop, the “change” the ignorant believed in.

Most likely costing us $110 Billion and millions of jobs.

Pray for America

The states can handle it.

It’s not that Obama doesn’t care...it’s intentional. It’s important to accept the reality of his agenda to plunder the nation before turning us over to our enemies.

YO Bonehead get the golf club out of your whatever and de-fund the EPA,DO your Job for once!!

Following links back to The Hill, it seems this is about new restrictions upon trace element emissions from coal burning power plants. This is alleged to be able to make a measurable difference in the health of thousands of people a year. GOP suspicions of junk science are high. Liberals are wailing as though kittens and puppies are being purposely trod to death.

Unless Obama and his democrats are removed from power, and soon, the insanity will continue. At some point, we will no longer rebuild the America we all loved.

From the linked article it says:

................."Browner headed EPA in the Clinton administration. She spoke with reporters after a CAP forum with a top EPA official and others who defended and lauded upcoming rules to cut mercury toxic emissions from power plants.".................

.............."The rule proposed in March, according to EPA, would prevent as many as 17,000 premature deaths and 11,000 heart attacks a year, among other health benefits."..............

So we want to cut mercury toxic emmissions from power plants while we are being forced to install the curly lightbulbs in our personal house filled with what?......mercury?

The 17,000 premature deaths and 11,000 heart attacks I'm sure are based on some "real" science. /s

Wonder how that will offset the 1 million premature deaths and 40 gazillion heart attaacks from breaking curly lightbulbs in millions of American homes? (I can make up junk statistics, too!)

How else do you get riots in the streets and the Obama revolution?
Lets see... shut down the coal industry.... check
shut down gulf drilling..... check
shut down fracking of shale......check

“gee..... what else can we do to drive up energy costs so we break business and homeowners?”

[Georgia Girl 2]

you are right. This is all intentional. They are trying to create as much chaos as possible.

[scooby321]

Why is anyone Shocked?

Obama: I'll Bankrupt Coal Industry; Your Energy Prices Will Skyrocket

[Georgia Girl 2]

The only thing that shocked me was that the Muzzie lovin Commie got elected.

[Busko]

We are looking a the end game with this administration. The house could cut the funding but they have no sense of being anymore. Just like those that have been in the front row for the past 40 years.

It will take decades to fix what this AnointedIdiot fraks up in 4 years......=.=
