The EPA's Lisa Jackson: The Worst Head of the Worst Regulatory Agency, Ever
Forbes ^ | 1/30/2013 | Henry I. Miller,

Posted on 01/30/2013 1:10:11 PM PST by george76

Obama and his minions seem to think that freedom is a four-letter word. His administration has imposed an array of intrusive, nanny-state, financial, environmental and consumer-product regulations that will cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars.

...

the erosion of transparency in government, wasteful spending, burdensome regulation, and waning trust in the integrity of the public sector.

A senior presidential appointee who epitomizes all of those flaws is EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, who has a cynical, hyper-regulatory, damn-the-science philosophy

...

EPA systematically exaggerates benefits and underestimates costs.

EPA is a serial offender when it comes to egregious government waste, fraud, abuse, and just plain sleaziness. The agency buys influence by doling out hundreds of millions of dollars each year to certain favored non-profit organizations – money that, according to the inspector general and Government Accountability Office, is dispersed with no public notice, competition or accountability.

...

In so many ways, EPA pollutes the cause of transparent, effective government. It’s hard to imagine a successor to Lisa Jackson who would be a worse steward of the environment, but I’m sure Obama will do his best to find one.

Ms Jackson doesn’t need to know anything about the environment, what causes the planet to heat up, or how industries impact the environment. She is there to do as she is told, to use regulating to impose the gloablist agenda by destroying industries and independence from government. An IQ odf 80 could fill Lisa’s job and be just fine in the democrip’s scheme of things.

Replacing any of THE FOREIGNERS appointees is as easy as going down to the local communist headquarters and ask around for the most radical anti american available.

I agree with the bulk of the article, but what can we do about it.

We cannot even get one person in authority to ask Obama how he got a Ct. Social security number.

We are stuck with Ms. jackson as long as Obama wants her and she is doing his bidding,so it is doubtful he will remove her.The idea is to turn America into a Socialist nation, and they are well on the way to doing it.

I would like to suggest a one-word change to your title:

“Lisa Jackson, the worst head of the worst regulatory agency, SO FAR”

Obama and his staff will leave no stone unturned in their search for an even more aggressive and political replacement.

“...waning trust in the integrity of the public sector”

I am pretty certain that Obama has several BINDERS full of useful idiots to fill such positions.
