It has ALREADY cost thousands of jobs. Don't you mean it could cost thousands MORE?
Lefty unionistas in industry need to add the following question to their list, when they finally realize that they will not improve their lot without a degree of introspection:
Does the county to which my job was just sent, have an equivalent of the EPA, and do they care more about lizards, than they do citizens?
The logic of failure.
When they don't know how to run a business or create or grow…….why is anyone surprised when they don't understand the effects their regulatory fiats have on the complex economic system that incorporates business and industry?
It's all a joke.
Disband the EPA and the other thousands of Socialist controlling Agencies that are stealing our Freedoms and wasting our tax dollars and keeping the Democrat Communist Party rich and powerful over US.
"EPA Meddling Could Cost Thousands of Jobs"
And we're paying for them to destroy our economy.
It reminds me of the old communist line that the U.S. would sell them the rope that they'd use to hang us.
Our governemnt has become a third world country ruled by a dicktater.
Is that the Environmental Projection Agency?
A little off topic, but would someone please reconsider putting that bastard "Bloomberg" ad on this site? I understand that's a "revenue" source, but if it's coming from him, it's FILTHY MONEY.
Yes, yes it is. And resist we much.
Also off topic, this from the AP:
"An unmanned hypersonic glider developed for U.S. defense research into super-fast global strike capability was launched atop a rocket early Thursday but contact was lost after the experimental craft began flying on its own"
Why do I suspect Uby had it flown straight into Chinese territory?
EPA/Obama/Democrats are all middle class hating radicals that are using the EPA to legislate via regulation.

It's hard ya know…offsetting the impact the environmentalists put on my life. Flushing 8 times and using 3 rolls of TP when using public restrooms. Leaving lights on anywhere I can. Driving around with no place to be smoking my diesel engine. Triple bag all my groceries and using as much styrofoam as I can carry.
Meddling ALWAYS costs jobs.
1st year- cut funding to the EPA (and other assorted domestic agencies) by half. Begin investigations into EPA upper management and the misappropriation of funding.
2nd year- pass legislation that the EPA (and other assorted domestic agencies) cannot enforce regulations within the states; all regulations require the oversight of Congress. Pass legislation that forbids the executive branch from using the agencies to enforce agendas that have been rejected by Congress.
3rd year- Abolish the EPA (and other assorted domestic agencies). Close the doors and turn the buildings into something useful- like a parking lot.
That's their goal – they want a crippled America, they want poverty and misery.
The EPA should have to do a cost/benefit analysis for each and every regulation that comes out of their infantile, leftist minds. It's amazing that they can screw up our whole economy without having to answer to anyone. I'm not for destroying the environment, but common sense should prevail.
The pigressive TROLLS just caught onto this article…everyone just lost 1 point.
If they did an honest cost/benefit they would effectively put themselves out of our misery. The GOP has that plan though so with any luck the Economic Pain in America is living out its last tyrannical days.
I gave everyone a point back.
Could? How about DOES!
If we were living in a movie about the Glorious O, I'd expect Samuel L. Jackson to play him and say "Hope and change, motherf*ckers!" every time something like this gets announced.
Cass Sunstein and his Jew-hating witch wife Sam are the two most dangerous people in America. They should both be charged with treason and dealt with appropriately and with extreme prejudice. They work and lurk like cockroaches, in the shadows and are hell-bent on destroying America by strangulating it to death with these Satanic regulations, designed to kill Americans.
The focus of the next administration and Congress should be to shut down these costly anti-American, anti-business agencies that are literally bringing this nation to its knees.
There are a host of them. The EPA, FCC, DoE, Dept. of Education, BATF and many others.
Our votes mean nothing for as long as these federal agencies are allow to run wild and make any laws they want.
Amen, same thought here– "Could"? Try "HAS ALREADY".
The EPA was created specifically to put a stop to ANYTHING that benefits mankind.
The only jobs that we need to LOSE are at the EPA…prosecution for sabotage and unAmerican activities please….
