The Environmental Protection Agency has said new greenhouse gas regulations, as proposed, may be absurd in application and impossible to administer by its self-imposed 2016 deadline. But the agency is still asking for taxpayers to shoulder the burden of up to 230,000 new bureaucrats at a cost of $21 billion to attempt to implement the rules.
The EPA aims to regulate greenhouse gas emissions through the Clean Air Act, even though the law doesnt give the EPA explicit power to do so. The agencys authority to move forward is being challenged in court by petitioners who argue that such a decision should be left for Congress to make.
The proposed regulations would set greenhouse gas emission thresholds above which businesses must file for an EPA permit and complete extra paperwork in order to continue operating. If the EPA wins its court battle and fully rolls out the greenhouse gas regulations, the number of businesses forced into this regulatory regime would grow tremendously from approximately 14,000 now to as many as 6.1 million.

Is the EPA constitutional? Should they really exist? A clean environment really ought to be a state/county/city issue.
I tried to point out that these were jobs that made the business less productive and added nothing to the bottom line. I don't think what that actually meant quite got through.
NWO. Our government under Obama, and previous administrations has been focused on the United Nations agenda for the 21st Century aka; Agenda 21.
All these rules from the EPA are for UN priorities, NOT for us. NOT for the good of our people, but for their agenda.
“H” Obamacare IMO is also for United Nations Agenda 21 to ultimately control the Earths population.
“EPA: Regulations would require 230,000 new employees, $21 billion”
There’s a term for this: metastasis. Like cancer, it feeds off the body, growing itself larger and therefore, feeding off the body more.
good lord. That agency should simply be abolished.
It's simply not feasible for them to hire on 250,000 more employees.
They are too stupid and have few people skills. I can just imagine their face to face interviews ~ they'd be levying fines on applicants for farting out of turn.
Regulators would not be choked off.
“the number of businesses forced into this regulatory regime would grow tremendously from approximately 14,000 now to as many as 6.1 million.”
Seig heil! This is fascism.

I would vote for anyone who promised to do away with the EPA! These people are a danger to America and they have been allowed to run roughshod over us for way too long. ENOUGH!!
EPA=Environmental Gestapo
Obama will get his ‘army’ one way or the other...
"He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance."
this is an “AW, C’MON NOW!” ping...
Thanks for the ping!
Obama thinks the way to establish a healthy environment for job growth is to make government even bigger.
