EPA the power to garnish wages without court (Congress, illegal, accuse)

[petch751]

The EPA is claiming that it has the authority to unilaterally garnish the wages of individuals who have been accused of violating its rules.

And people in power will continue to TAKE more power until they are stopped.

Inch by inch we're losing everything we held dear.
And we can only sit by and watch it happen.

The majority fall for the lofty promises of "free stuff" come election time and apathy runs rampant for what is happening.

Since 2009 the EPA has tripled it's "revenue" from collections.
And not a question about it.

Copenhagen failed and Obama vowed to use the EPA to push his agenda.
Seems it's working while Congress quietly sits by the wayside arguing about professional sports team names.

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action to amend EPA's claims collection standards to implement the administrative wage garnishment provisions of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1982, as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA). The direct final rule will allow the EPA to garnish non-Federal wages to collect delinquent non-tax debts owed the United States without first obtaining a court order."

"This direct final rule implements the administrative wage garnishment provisions in section 31001(o) of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of the 1996 (DCIA), Public Law 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321-358, codified as 31 U.S.C. 3720D. Under the administrative wage garnishment provisions of the DCIA,Federal agencies may garnish administratively up to 15 percent of the disposable pay of a debtor to satisfy a delinquent non-tax debt owed to the United States. Prior to the enactment of the DCIA, Federal agencies were required to obtain a court judgment before garnishing non-Federal wages. "

Obama was clear about his intent as a candidate.

Now, this is what we have.

Not exactly the most original thought of all time, but it's fitting to the topic.

Not about some things.

I understood his intent.

But, he has also told many lies....after he got in power.

Not lying about a few things doesn't mean you haven't lied about others - and he has.
