Communism is the EPA’s ONLY goal.
EPA is a watermelon organization: green on the outside and red on the inside.

Next January the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is set to issue new regulations on emissions from boilers used in facilities like oil refineries, paper mills and shopping malls. The EPA claims their new regulations will only cost the economy $9.5 billion by 2013. But the American Chemistry Council says the cost will surpass $20 billion and kill 800,000 jobs. Who is right? We don’t know. But what we do know is that if you total up all of the new regulations already passed by the Obama administration last year, using their own cost estimates, fiscal 2010 saw the largest increase in regulatory burdens placed on the U.S. economy in the nation’s recorded regulatory history, says Conn Carroll, assistant director for the Heritage Foundation’s Strategic Communications.
According to a report released last month by the Small Business Administration, existing total regulatory costs already amount to about $1.75 trillion annually — nearly twice as large as the sum of all individual income taxes collected last year.
Adding to this burden, federal agencies promulgated 43 new rules during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.
The total cost of these rules, each one individually calculated by the Obama administration itself, was $28 billion.
On net, the Obama administration inflicted $26.5 billion in new regulatory costs on the economy last year.
As high as this $26.5 billion total is, the actual cost of all these new regulations is almost certainly much higher, says Carroll.
First, the cost of noneconomically significant rules — rules deemed not likely to have an annual impact of $100 million or more — is not calculated.
Second, no costs were given for 12 of the rules that were deemed economically significant.
Most importantly, the costs that were given are likely minimized because the regulators are allowed to make up the cost of their own regulations. Indeed, a 2005 Office of Management and Budget Report to Congress found that regulators underestimated the costs of their rules 34 percent of the time.

he GOP and Global Warming/EPA Greenhouse Gas Restrictions in 2011
Almost two-dozen industry and business groups are pushing Senators to limit funding for unprecedented Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authority to restrict greenhouse gas emissions. The list of groups includes the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Petroleum Institute, the National Manufacturers Association, and the American Chemistry Council, and they are urging top Republicans and possible swing-vote Democratic members of the Appropriations Committee to halt EPA actions in a spending package that will come forward during the lame duck session. They want to see the EPA blocked from placing greenhouse gas restrictions on power plants and other energy sources. The restrictions are set to go into effect on January 2, and the groups have told Senators that they would lead to increased, burdening costs on U.S. jobs and state resources, while also overshadowing Congress’s place in the development of energy policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Almost every state is prepared to issue permits around the time the EPA’s restrictions go into effect. Most states, though not Texas, will allow the EPA to oversee the permitting process for them until they are able to do it themselves. Over the summer Texas followed suit with others in challenging the EPA’s “tailoring” rule in court.
Scientists from NASA, the National Academy of Sciences, and other noteworthy science organizations say that findings from all parts of the globe demonstrate that climate change is the result of activities by man. Conservative Republican Senate candidates around the country disagree, and if these candidates are victorious on November 2, it will make it even more difficult to see legislation in the Senate that addresses greenhouse gas emissions next year, especially since legislation on the issue has already been held up in the chamber.
Second thing: All "Environmental Justice" programs
The EPA wants to halt private business under the guise of saving the planet when the true goal is to make every business enterprise a Government entity, full of bureaucrats to dispense wealth and power as they see fit.
Ms. Jackson is a f’ing moron.
EPA is a watermelon organization: green on the outside and red on the inside.
It was established under Nixon to do exactly what it is doing.
The only solution is repeal of the Environmental Protection Act (1971).
Everything that is happening is required, or permitted, by law.
First things first - the leadership of the fascist EPA must be hanged for treason.
Two - the EPA is an illegal fascist organization that must be destroyed.
Three - every federal judge that voted in favor of any EPA ruling must be impeached and hanged.
Four - the skeleton of the RINO traitor Nixon must be dug out and hanged from every lampost from sea to shining sea.
Five - every GD environmentalist, including the drolling troll jerks here on FR, must be rounded up and shipped - one way - to North Korea.
Six - leave or suffer the consequences.
Remember, it all began when they talked us into having public sewers!!
A lifelong communist did not have an epiphany, gorbachev simply ‘softened’ his image, but not his goal.
The EPA was created by law, exists according to the law, and can be eliminated by repeal of the law.
It is certainly unconstitutional, since it is not provided for in Article I, and it is not an Article III inferior court.
But it is not illegal.
In times past, whole communities grew up around fume belching steel plants, smelters, mines and mills of every kind. EJ is a good way to keep these people locked in an economically barren ghetto.
Uh, yes. Next question?
The EPA needs to be reduced to whatever staff can fit into an empty 7-11 store.
Socialism is the goal. Green is only the particular tool assigned to this operating unit.
Clinton loved him some environmental justice...
