Cost does not matter to people who want to put an end to western civilization.

GOP caves on the one side, state regulations stick it to you up the other side.

The 'land of the free, home of the brave,' is dead in the political vortex.

[Organic Panic]

Bureaucrats will win. Lots and lots of affirmative action hires will be employed with new regulations.

It would be kinder if the EPA would just drop an atomic bomb on the US instead of dooming us to an economically miserable 7th Century lifestyle with massive unemployment and crime

[Amendment10]

As you read the following material, please bear in mind that the EPA possibly would’t exist today if it wasn’t for the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.

Regarding the EPA, the bottom line is that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate environmental issues. So with all due respect to the family and supporters of the late President Nixon, he was wrong to sign the bill that established the EPA imo.

Also, note that even if the states had delegated such powers to the feds that there is still a major constitutional problem with the EPA. More specifically, the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative (regulatory) powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats such as those running the EPA.

In other words, Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not. But by delegating federal regulatory powers to non-elected bureaucrats, Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above imo.

Good Lord we are talking a reductions 5 parts per BILLION. Is there any legitimate scientific study that shows harm from ozone in parts per BILLION concentrations? Parts per billion are at the very limits of detection with even the best technology.

[Duckdog]

We’re gonna be regulated and taxed to the point that there will be no jobs left in this country.
