More job-killing BS by an unaccountable bunch of idiots. This will have NO effect on “climate” but will trash our economy. On day one Trump should abolish the EPA.

I’m sure the Chinese, the Russians, the Brazilians, the Indians… the G20 are all going to follow….and laugh all the way to the bank at how Obama is giving them a huge advantage.

Another step in giving disadvantage to America and the American worker!

He never rests in the destruction of the American economy.

more Demolilion Derby directed against America and our sick Obama economy

kill more and more and MORE jobs

that’s the Obama way!

destroy America by using its federal government against it.

AND.... 700,000 words is enough to run the ENTIRE federal government....from Agriculture to Defense to Veterans Affairs. This proliferation of regulatory diktats is RIDICULOUS. I received one in the email and innocently hit the PRINT key and it was a 793 page document, totally unintelligible as you might expect. This is yet another way Obama and his co-conspirators are destroying American business and jobs

And every dollar representing an unproductive and counterproductive waste of limited resources.

Big Government: the ONLY major polluter and consumer not only unrestrained but also inherently unproductive.

No government bureaucrat has ever seen a regulation he couldn’t love - and the more long-winded and incomprehensible, the better.

You get what you reward. We have hired bureaus full of thousands of drones whose single purpose of existence is to pen regulations. We pay these guys by the hour. The Executive department has entire agencies dedicated to it. Congress has hundreds of aids dedicated to it. They make great money doing it. We shouldn't be too surprised when what we get out of that system is...regulations. Big ones.

How big? How about 20,000 pages for 0bamacare? Don't believe me? Check the Washington Post article on it.

We should employ these people to review, edit, compress, and reduce - bonuses for discarding entire volumes of the stuff. The hazard is that the tendency will be to replace stacks of obnoxious regulations with czars whose word is law. Which, come to think of it, we're doing at the present as well.

More “high paying” jobs for bureaucrats. The rest of us can eat cake... or something less tasty.

Regarding the EPA’s actions, patriots are reminded not only that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate environmental / climate issues, but also that corrupt Congress is wrongly letting non-elected federal bureaucrats outside the legislative branch get away with stealing 10th Amendment-protected state powers to make these unconstitutional federal regulations.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will put a stop to unconstitutonal federal inteference in state affairs.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Anyone who's spent any length of time in China in the last few years (as have I) knows that even the "clearest" days there are 10 times worse,air pollution-wise,than the worst day you'll see in the LA Basin,London or the Ruhr Valley.

The successors of The Butchers of Beijing are laughing their a$$e$ off saying to each other "Sure,we'll stop adding a dozen 1950's-era coal fired power plants a day to our power grid.We'll just let out trillions of tons of coal sit in the ground like the Americans are planning to do".

It says something about 33,000 pages and I bet that is way low than the actual number
