EPA Regulations Cost Jobs and Cause Blackouts (Gov.Perry's battle with the Feds) "Reports indicate that the predominant costs of implementing the Environmental Protection Agency’s new "green" economy regulations are job loss (as coal plants are forced to close) and mass blackouts.

President Obama admitted in a 2008 interview that he is intent on shutting down the U.S. coal industry:

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.

A press release from GOP candidate Rick Perry's campaign claims the the Clean Air Act is specifically designed to reconfigure America's energy landscape and cause job losses. It states:

The president's ideologically driven objectives on greenhouse gases are so extreme, in fact, that the EPA recently admitted it would require 230,000 new federal bureaucrats to fully implement the terms of the Clean Air Act. The agency's admission confirms that the Clean Air Act was never intended to apply to greenhouse gases. Rather than simply concede that fact, the Obama administration has attempted to rewrite the Clean Air Act to satisfy its radical agenda of regulating the entire economy based on emissions.".....

WORK ETHIC
These are good jobs for rural teenagers where they learn a work ethic. Obama/commies want them learning the welfare ethic, being dependent on gov’t for sustenance.

If my own memory is any indication, kids from about 12 up are as heatproof as any adult, given they get enough hydration. Keep the kids in Kool-Aid (the real kind) and an occasional Pepsi or Coke, and they’ll happily tassel the corn.

One more step to ruin “work ethic” from the American culture.

Hell! I was 9 years old sacking groceries while learning the work ethic and going to the school of hard knocks.

From that point on, I worked and now own a business that I have run for over 35 years.

Somehow, I can see “cash on the barrel head” deals coming. No W4s, no W2s, no W9s, no stinkin’ fed paperwork whatsoever, etc. etc. etc. This fascist clown adiministration is creating a HUGE underground economy the likes of which have never been seen before in U.S. history.
Sometimes, what a bully doesn’t know only hurts their pocketbook....too bad, so sad.

Years ago on many Navy bases the grocery baggers at the commissary worked for tips only. They usually made something like 30 bucks or more per hour. There was a waiting list to get the job.

Then some genius changed the rules so they couldn’t work for tips any more. Had to be paid an hourly rate and were not allowed to accept tips.

First thing that happened is all the baggers quit, the waiting list went away, service quality declined. I have not shopped on a base in many years but my guess is that there are no more grocery baggers, you do it yourself, carry them to your car yourself.

Government intruded in what was an exceptional system - the baggers made good money, the service was really good, and your food was properly handled.

I think the reasoning had something to do with reported income for tax purposes.

This administration has been over regulating small independent farmers making it harder for them to do business. I doubt this has anything to do with concerns about children of people.

Through our history, from the Revolution onward, the Washington governing class has been sort of afraid to mess with farmers.

The fact that this bunch does not seem to care should raise alarm bells with all of us.

LANSING, Mich. — Sparking outrage across the country’s rural heartland, the Obama administration is proposing rules to curb the ability of children on farms to engage in “corn sex” for pay.

I have lived in the midwest my entire life, with the exception of several business trips to the coasts. I have never heard corn detassling refered to as, "corn sex". In the first lines of the story we have some sort of strange, Faulkneresq image of children and a prurient activity. Give me a break and tell the truth. How anyone cannot see through the media's spin on each and every story they bring is way beyond me.

“Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”

Daniel Webster
