Industry, including some of the largest of America’s polluters, claim the proposed standard would be too costly as they seek to dismiss scientific evidence that improving the standard would help prevent more than 12,000 deaths $100 billion in health related costs.
Far be it from a Necon to give a **** about anyone else's breathing related illness. Live by the sword, die by the sword. People that do not have empathy for the health and well being of others do not deserve to take a breath that is not labored. When you see someone that you care about gasping, maybe just maybe, you'd feel a modicum of humanity...though I highly doubt it.

American life expectancy recently jumped up to the highest rate in history. Please spare us the emotional tripe.

are you calling obama a neocon who deserves to have difficulty breathing?
I find this decision appalling. I really don't care what it costs, but the environment and the health of our population is too important to just abandon because somebody cries about the expense. While it may seem that doing so is great for business and is a necessary step in kick starting business into creating jobs, it's a bad move. What it means is that business can now threaten the country with no jobs or spending until it gets what it wants. Isn't that behavior typical of corporations: "We're going to make your life miserable until we get what we want"? Who's the boss here, people or business? Who runs the country, people or business? If we bend over, way over, and let business do it's, um, business to us, we forfeit our souls and our planet.
Why is the comfort of profit more desirable than clean air and deep breaths? I'd rather be unemployed (like I am now, just so you know) in Eden's garden of paradise, than be surrounded by piles of cash and a picture of a tree.
Basically I don't give an ef about what it costs to run your business. Follow the laws, respect the people and the environment, or don't do business at all. You don't have a right to run a business just as you don't have a right to be careless. The environment, the design of our lungs, these things are not adaptable, certainly not as adaptable as business. Why does anyone have to argue something so inherently logical?
