Obama’s Trickle Down EPA Regulations Are Harming Businesses and Energy Production

The EPA in Washington, DC is the best example of a national agency nearly out of control. Empowered by a president who scoffs at the idea of working with Congress, the EPA is clearly carrying out its own executive ordered mission to impose a litany of costly new regulations that, in the long term, could cut jobs in the energy and manufacturing sectors and could easily delay new business investment across the country. New national EPA regulations governing carbon, methane, ozone emissions and water quality require oil, natural gas and coal producers to pay costly fines or shut down. With oil and gasoline prices at all-time lows, many of our nation’s energy producers are struggling to keep workers employed, especially the smaller, independent energy companies that can hardly afford excessive and unnecessary fines. The sad reality is that few, if any of these new EPA regulations will offer any measurable improvement in our quality of life, but they could easily make many oil, coal, and natural gas companies lay off even more workers due to higher operating costs.

1. Kill small business
2. Which kills the middle class
3. Increase disparity of wealth of rich and poor
4. Increase racial tension and class warfare
5. Socialist Revolution.

That is the plan. Obama is on schedule. The EPA is only part of it. Depts. of Energy, Commerce, Justice, Education, and Defense are all doing their parts.

Obama said he would kill the Electric Coal production.

IBEW did not get the memo and supported Obama twice.

Now the IBEW are all acting mad.

Someone please give the IBEW a mirror.

Thank you.

Has he accomplished ANYTHING to actually help the country in 7 years?- It seems that whether he’s importing terrorists into our country to murder us, or doing executive actions that bypass congress to make deals with terrorist nations, or refusing to allow the pipeline, or passing massive tax and fine regulations on businesses- Everything he does it seems is anti-American!

Yep- He sure has tried to ‘fundamentally change the country’.... into a craphole!

LOL! When the (s)elections roll around, I cruise by the union halls and note who they’re supporting. Instantly lets you know who NOT to support. Or at least narrows the list down somewhat.

abolish the EPA.

They trashed the Animas River in Colorado and likely caused billions in environmental damage and in claims against taxpayers.

And not one person was found at fault in the EPA.

Disgusting.

Likely Cruz, but he will start with abolishing the IRS, which is even more destructive than the EPA.
