0bama and his administration, and especially his EPA, are destroying jobs and running up the costs of day to day living in America. 0bama places more importance on pushing forward with his ideological agenda, then he does on the economy, jobs and the people.
Our economy is in a depression. When 0bama was sworn in as our president, he said it was "The worst economy since the Great Depression", and since he was sworn in, our economy has only gotten worse, so we can only be in a depression era economy, and it may even get worse.
Our country needs cheap, reliable and dependable sources of energy, in order to thrive, and all 0bama and his administration have done is decrease energy production and increase its cost to the people.
The 0bama EPA is on an all out attack on energy production and distribution. The EPA just created new regulations that will kill jobs and drive up our electricity costs.
Thursday the EPA announced that they have finalized additional Clean Air Act provisions, collectively known as “The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule” to ostensibly “reduce air pollution and attain clean air standards,” by requiring coal companies in 27 states to slash emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide by 73 percent and 54 percent, respectively, from 2005 levels by 2014.

0bama and the EPA are also going to destroy the car industry with ideologically driven, and arbitrary regulations:
Having invested heavily in luxury automakers Tesla and Fisker, the Obama administration is now putting the screws to their gas-engine competitors, Porsche, BMW, et al.
In their regulatory plot to make the gas engine go the way of the incandescent light bulb, Obama’s EPA is not just mandating 56 mpg by 2025 — effectively creating a standard only hybrid electrics can meet — but putting in place harsh fines for companies that make engines they don’t like.
“Future U.S. government fuel economy regulations could saddle auto makers with steep fines or even bar the sale of certain models,” reports the Wall Street Journal’s Sharon Terlep. “Violations of proposed government standards could cost auto makers up to $25,000 a vehicle beginning in 2016, up from current levels of $5 to hundreds of dollars per vehicle.”
During a depression era economy, why the hell is our government saddling the country with these new costly regulations??? I don't think 0bama and his admin give a rats rear end if our economy ever recovers, as long as he can punish his enemies and force his agenda on the nation.
I did not even mention 0bamaCare, a new set of taxes and regulations that are so ruinous to employers, that they have to beg and plead with 0bama to get a waiver, so they don't have to obey the law.
I thought Nixon helped create the EPA and the Engangered Species Act.
Imagine that, a Republican who cared about the environment.
Like all things liberal, they start out to prevent companies from actually poisoning our lakes and rivers, or destroy habitat with poisonous chemicals, and it all morphs into the ridiculous, where farmers lose their farms because their tractor kill a kangaroo rat, and deny water for irrigation to save a stupid 2 inch long minnow, and now they are destroying more jobs and driving up energy costs, simply because they hate fossil fuels.
0bama hates coal:"If somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."
Steven Chu hates coal:"Coal is My Worst Nightmare. If coal is to stay part of the world’s energy mix, , clean-coal technologies must be developed."
And the EPA hates coal:Word is just coming down that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has vetoed the largest single mountaintop removal permit in West Virginia history.
...and they want to jack up electricity costs:The Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday that it will regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and oil refineries next year in an attempt to curb global warming.
...and then again in March of 2011:CHU: Well, the recent spike in gasoline prices following that huge spike in 2007, 2008 is a reminder to Americans that the price of gasoline over the long haul should be expected to go up just because of supply and demand issues. And so we see this in the buying habits of Americans as they make choices for the next car they buy.
Is it any wonder his EPA is pushing forward with new regulations to jack up the costs of energy, its the exact outcome they wanted. All you have to do is listen to the statements of 0bama, Chu, and et al, in his administration, who have publicly proclaimed their intentions.
Keep in mind, this is all being done during an economic depression, and this fool of a man wonders why things just keep getting worse for jobs and the economy.
us yes the ol' selfish me me me philosophy of the right appears again.
Wanting to see people get back to work is selfish?
