By his reasoning, Obama needs to destroy the middle class in order to save it...

But this isn't just a job killer. It's a middle class killer.
"According to EPA's Regulatory Impact Analysis, the final Utility MACT rule will increase electricity rates by up to 6 percent in some regions of the U.S. When combined with CSAPR, electricity rates are expected to increase by up to 23 percent in some areas. National Economic Research Associates projects that Utility MACT and other EPA regulations could increase electricity and other energy prices by $170 billion by 2020."
And while your electricity prices are rising, your electric system reliability will be falling:...

The EPA claims its rule has health benefits, but detailed analysis shows its claims to be based on "co-benefits" of reducing air pollution -- something that could be done in a much simpler and less expensive way through existing rules. In fact, "monetized benefits" are estimated at reaching, at most, $6 million per year, less than 0.01% of the rule's total costs. Meanwhile the EPA argues -- I kid you not -- that the rule offers economic benefit by preventing an average loss of 0.002 IQ points in newly born children...

But this is not -- as Obama would have you believe -- about Republicans standing up for "millionaires and billionaires." It's about American politicians not standing up for America. It's about the Barack Obama's never-ending quest to divide and conquer this nation by pitting us against each other. The good news is that it's not working. The bad news is that it's not not-working by enough to allow one to feel comfortable that Americans will refuse to re-elect the greatest enemy of the middle class who has ever occupied the White House.

Hoc est exemplum LRR:
"Constat nus ut aliquom fimenom nomine Nautlindho vindemus tibi pro pecia de maso probrio jures meo."
Id est, scriptor vetere formula "constat nos" utitur, deinde dat in venditum aliquam feminam nomine "Nautlind", quod est nomen Germanicum, quae serva erat. Vendit Nautlind pro pecunia. "Maso" est "manso", et verbo utitur more Francorum, aedem vel casam significare, ut dicimus Anglice "real estate", ex suis juribus in illa muliere.
Hoc documentum inventum descendit de tempore Visigothorum.
Which reminds me of something someone noticed once about the very, very rich. They don't have schedules, they have availabilities which they pay staff to dole out to the audience-seekers. In token of which, they don't wear watches. That's because the world is on their time, not vice versa.
I'm not particularly concerned (yet) with information overload, but rather with information's being choked off by the politically vicious.
Ubi didicistis Latinum, et cur ita?
Numquam id lexi. Habeo Palmer, The Latin Language, quod lexi primum in collegio, XLV annis antehac; ille scripsit de occasu grammatico linguae Latinae apud vulgus, et quo declensiones simplicius per annos (ab tempore Senecae Neronisque) reductae sunt. Systema Italum sonorum (praecipue linguae "Oscanae" Samnitum vel "Sabelliae") Latino inficiebat, quo Latina "-ae" more Oscano "-e" sonabatur, et cetera. Inflexio "-um"/"em" sonabatur levissimo "-m", quod postremo amissum est. Ergo, "praecisionem" gradibus "prechisione" factum est, et "condicionem" "condichione", "stationem" "statzione".
Palmer secundum Terentium Varronem et Isidorum Sevillae et alios scriptores antiquitatis posterioris compluria haec phaenomena describit.
Scripsit quoque libros de lingua Graeca et lingua Sanscrita.
Habeo Latinum meum de Ximo grado, deinde iterum in universitate, et postremo domi apud Palmer librosque meos grammaticos dictionariariosque Latinos et Graecos.
Habeo quoque grammaticum parvum linguae Sanscritae in quo lexi passim.
