OK! Good to know! You support the job-destroying policies of the EPA. There must be a lot of you, given the success they are having.

I actually corrected it, I don't support the taxation of "industry" , i just support a revenue neutral shift of taxation toward anyone who pollutes by discharging byproducts into the air, soil, and water. Some industries are clean, and they should have low taxes, if they are taxed at all.

And there are high-paying manufacturing and technology jobs to be created in developing technologies that do not pollute, and manufacturing and exporting these products to foreign countries.

EPA is a bureaucracy and should be as small as necessary to get the job done, and having simple, sensible regulations goes a long way towards keeping the costs of the bureaucracy down.

Manufacturing growth hits lowest level in 2 years - Yahoo! Finance=

Manufacturing and commodities create wealth and grow economies, not government jobs at the EPA that try to shut those manufacturing jobs down, sorry libs.
Bush's fault.

Now with the fed printing money to keep the Dow above 12,000 then we should see gold peak at over $12k.

Some people can't read what you are trying to say. Political satire is wasted on them. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, green chutes all the way there.
