One would think that Congress would be outraged by ceding its authority on such matters to the Executive Branch. Why bother passing laws if the executive branch is going to rule by fiat.
My question is what the hell were the JOTUSSC thinking when they ruled that the EPA could regulate CO2 as a pollutant.

One way to boost the economy and create jobs fast would be to defund and eliminate the EPA.

Time for a clean sweep. My rule is this. The higher government unemployment rises the private sector unemployment will decrease. We would have 0 private unemployment when government unemployment hits 80%.
“One way to boost the economy and create jobs fast would be to defund and eliminate the EPA.”

My thoughts exactly.
I have no confidence in this gummit!
