The EPA has gone to excess in many areas, but we lost the electronics manufacturing industry and much of the textile and apparel industries in the '50s and '60s before the EPA came into existence during the Nixon administration. Why did we lose industries and manufacturing jobs before the EPA even existed.
This export of manufacturing jobs started long before there were any EPA regulations to speak of.
No, you are wrong. Democrats and progressives have been writing anti-business laws since at least 1890.
Repeal all laws to 1890. No more problems.
