The Environmental Protection Agency, which enforces rules that affect the U.S. economy from factories to farms, is the No. 1 target of complaints from business groups collected by House Republican leaders.
EPA rules were cited more than those from any other agency in more than 100 letters sent by trade associations, businesses and some conservative groups to House oversight committee chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) in response to his call for businesses to identify regulations they deemed burdensome, according to documents reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. The letters are scheduled for release today

The EPA needs to be reigned in. They are bypassing the congressional process by implementing the Kyoto Protocols and the failed Copenhagen treaty by stealth. There needs to be laws passed that all bureaucratic rules be subject to congressional approval

I wish the congress would be as honest as the fascist government behind Mussolini was... just accept that they represent corporations.

If corporations are not free to pollute the air, water, soil, and harm our children is anyone truly free?
