This whole idea is ludicrous, where does an administrative agency find a punitive power not overseen by the courts?
It’s called Chicago Politics.
C’Mon. Really? I call bull. We need an EPA. In a lot of ways it’s cheaper for industry to be dirtier. This country is really good at privatizing the profits now and making the government or general public handle the risks and pay for the later cleanup and health issues.
That said, this action by the EPA is outrageous and unconstitutional.
Not to worry, we’re the government and we’re here to help. That old Uncle Sam poster has taken a dramatic turn and it’s not just the EPA.
The ongoing additional regs are going to strangle what’s left of industry/manufacturing in the country….private industry that is(crony corps not included).
It reminds me of a situation where I hired an electrician that formerly worked at a school to do a job for me…he was retired and struggling to remember some local building codes as he was doing work inside my business. I asked him how he handled a similar situation at the public school worked for…his answer: “We didn’t have to meet building regs because we were a school…we just did the work and it was never inspected because it didn’t have to be.”
Uh huh…..yeah.
“We didn’t have to meet building regs because we were a school…we just did the work and it was never inspected because it didn’t have to be.”
Maybe that’s why it was the feds and not DHEC that raided the files of the Columbia sewer treatment plant
what about the environmental impact of millions of illegal immigrants trashing our Southwest…? who will pay for their mess??
What if they actually make an impact on pollution?
If the EPA was ever eliminated, you have to couple it with tort reform so people harmed by pollution can effectively sue.
Why prevent anything when your estate can sue after you’re dead?
And mean while, the Savannah River remains one of the top five “most polluted” rivers in the country.
YOU BETCHA!
wasn’t it the ‘out of control enviro-radicals’ who foisted the iraq war on us? that’s how i remember it. where’s Captain Exxon when we need him to free us from the clutches of the Clean Air Crew?
Don’t you just love the way govt. takes care of the ordinary person ? More govt. = less freedom. less govt. = more freedom. What is so hard about this concept?
I believe the responsible thing to do is introduce any EPA executive to the Sumter National Swamp, in a real and legally binding way. There’s a really nice spot off US378, just before you get to Stateburg.
