Darrell Issa Takes on Obama’s EPA

Frank York, EPA Abuse


Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is holding a hearing titled “Lights Out II: Another Look At EPA’s Utility MACT Rule.”

In a hearing preview statement from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), he notes:

Today, government regulators are poised to enact a new set of rules that could dramatically increase the cost that consumers and job creators pay for energy. The Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is projected to cost utilities and power generators $10.9 billion in compliance costs every year…Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be jeopardized in the Midwest and Appalachia at a time when scarce resources should be used for job creation, not regulatory compliance. It is estimated that more than 1.5 million job years will be lost by 2020 as a result of the proposed Utility MACT rules…

Today’s hearing will give the Oversight Committee and the public a forum to assess EPA’s rulemaking process, hold the agency accountable for its decisions, and understand what action is needed in the future to ensure that the regulatory process works with—not against—job creators an consumers.

    The EPA, what a bad joke this is. Ran by Cass Sunstein and aided by President Zero, should have been cast out of government long ago. Wait until the Mu-slime groups cut off our oil and then see how much the EPA has hurt this country. No I didn't spell Muslim wrong, it should be Mu-slime.

I capitolize the SLIME, because that is exactly what they are, and what they are doing to get into our country……….and after they get here, SLIME is what they spread. the “religion of peace”, should be the “disease of SLIME”, or as I like better, FILTH!!!!!!!!! muSLIME!

    The EPA is as out-of control as the NLRB and the rest of the Obama cronies and should be all reined in. They are choking us to death, and it's not because the air is polluted…They are, because of the regime in-charge, and it must be stopped. Big government only serves to stifle job growth, and create hundreds of "little empires", within the "system"…This "layering" of similar jobs, only serves to protect the corrupt, Agenda 21 crowd, which we should be extremely wary . We must remain vigilant to their undermining/destructive practices and expose all things wrong with their so-called "rulemaking". Again, they take after their "master, and we will do everything to ensure that this too, will be short-lived.

    Mr Issa, why keep pussy footing around with Obama? I think he is not even eligible to be president. Sherriff in Arizona says he needs to see original document in Hawaai's DOH. I say this document should be made available to sherriff Joe to prove this once and for all. After all If Obama is really legit, he shouldn't mind now should he? The EPA rules are another example of Obama putting a strangle hold on America and should be just another reason that Obama is intentionally trying to hurt this country which I believe is treason. I think we should stop pussy footing around and get serious making Obama answer all these questions and to also settle the bc.

    It seems Issa wants to do the right thing when it comes to investigate but the white house is stone walling them and the other republicans in the congress and senate lost their balls.With all the shit that this regime has pulled if we had an honest media he'd been impeached.This half black president makes John Gotti look like a saint.
