Don’t you love these unprovable factuals? “will prevent 230,000 premature deaths”
Why doesn’t the GOP come out with their own to show how stupid these are?
Here’s one,
Eliminating the EPA will eliminate “233M premature deaths”, ah, that’s a great idea!!!

I swear to the Gods... Someone has Dan Rather writing all of the FedGov's press reports for them lately. "Fake, but accurate".

Why stop there? I have it on good authority that secret internal EPA documents prove that a millionbajillion lives will be saved, and the dollars generated by the Act would reach to infinity...and beyond.

Since when have these leftist fools been worried about saving lives (except for their own and America's enemies)?
