Unelected Obama Bureaucrats Set To Ruin Economy

From Mackubin Thomas Owens of the Washington Time: On Sept. 28, Senate Republicans, joined by four Democrats, blocked tax legislation that would have punished U.S. firms that export jobs. Even if the proponents of the failed bill are correct in asserting that the current environment encourages U.S. companies to send jobs abroad, the result would be small potatoes compared to the havoc the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is about to wreak on the U.S. economy beginning in January unless Congress takes action to stop it.
At issue is the
EPA's designation of "greenhouse gases," e.g., carbon dioxide, as pollutants subject to EPA regulation in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The EPA ploy is the Obama administration's response to Congress' failure to pass a broad climate bill that would include provisions such as "cap-and-trade" to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions.
In fact, such an interpretation is a naked power grab by the
EPA that has the potential to damage the U.S. economy badly. Job loss will be just one consequence of this ill-advised scheme. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/oct/8/epa-global-warmers-power-grab/
It really comes down to this. The Obama administration is not interested in the economy. They would rather get their radical environmental policies passed at any cost and that includes screwing over the economy, putting people out of work, raising prices and taxes and putting more people on welfare so the the poor can pay their utility bills.
It would be nice if Harry Reid denounced the EPA, but he won't. He doesn't care the economy and he doesn't care about how this will effect Nevadans.
