IF THE EPA WAS here in 1865 America would still be a third world country - broke with no JOBS.

This was a post by Gerald4 on the Huffington site and then potsed by Lock Piatt in Song of Truth.

The EPA rules and regulation's mere the main factors that destroyed the jobs that used to pay decent wages for a decent days work in the Steel Belt (Rust Belt)!

Why did all of the Copper smelters close in Northern Michigan? EPA

Why did all of the Paper Mills close everywhere in the USA? EPA

Why did all of the Steel Mills close in Pittsburg? EPA

Why did the computer chip manufactur¬ing plants close in the USA? EPA

When the EPA's proposed "Cap and Trade" is passed by the US congress, our remaining petrochemi¬cal industries will relocate to foreign countries and then they will fire most all of their thousands of employees as they close down their refinery businesses in the USA.

If the EPA had been created in 1865, the USA would be a third world country of unemployed beggars today, or maybe a part of Germany or Japan.

If the US economy implodes, the USA will probably resemble India, Mexico, China, etc., as these countries were in the decades before they industrial-ized. I do not believe that any of these foreign countries will help the US citizens if we are in distress.

Almost all products are made with steel, aluminum, plastics, lead, copper, lumber, paper, gasoline, diesel fuel, electricit¬y, and other products that pollute or destroy the environmen¬t as they are produced. I cannot think of any product that is manufactur¬ed using any processes that do not pollute the environmen¬t. Can you think of any?”

The government wants to take over more land

This summer, the National Park Service initiated a new "special resource study" of the Rim of the Valley Corridor surrounding the San Fernando, La Crescenta, Santa Clarita, Simi and Conejos Valleys in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties of southern California.

The Rim of the Valley Corridor study's purpose is to determine whether any portion of the study area is eligible to be designated as a unit of the national park system or added to an existing national park such as the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The study will also explore other ways that private or governmental entities can protect resources and provide more outdoor recreation opportunities.

Sure sounds nice, doesn’t it? More parks that the state cannot afford to maintain. The state is closing parks and recreation areas. This preserves the land for what, the park rangers? People who have cabins in those areas don’t want you, me, or anyone else to enjoy a cabin like they do, so they start movements to “preserve nature”. They have theirs and the rest of us can go to hell. Before I bought the house in Saugus, there were only fields and trees there. As my and other newly built houses were occupied, people started petitions to not allow any other developments in adjoining areas. We got ours, the hell with everyone else.

The US government owns more of this county’s land than the people do. 80% of Utah is owned by the Feds. The more land that a government owns (federal, state, or local), the less land there is for the people. This will force the people to live in overcrowded cities, using “public” transportation because the streets and highways are not maintained properly (and not enough of them). The more we depend on a government entity the more they will charge us for “what they provide”. There are ways to preserve most of nature without having the government take over.

Our governments (Fed. State, and local) should be concerned with improving the economy and not dreaming up new restrictions and entities to enforce them. I got an email from Fran Pavley bragging about all the bills she and the legislature passed or were working on. None of them had anything to do with helping the economy. On the contrary, they were increasing the size of government and costs to run it.

A Sin of Commission is to know something is wrong... and do it anyway.

Posted with permission form author, Dick McDonald

An award-winning filmmaker has made a film about the Coastal Commissions refusal to clear brush in forests that in turn has cost the country quadrillions in board feet of lumber because of the excess brush causes devastating forest fires. The Commission has issued a subpoena to stop the film’s release. The Commission knows it is doing something wrong and is doing it anyway because the media won’t report it because the same lefty, liberal slime that is moving the country toward the totalitarianism of the Nanny-State populate both the Commission and the media. See www.sinsofcommission.com/California-Coast/press-release/california-documentary-filmmaker-faces-censorship-challange-from-california-coastal-commission/

In the Age of Obama there have been so many sins of commission to reduce personal freedom to seat power in the hands of a few that it is hard to accumulate them all in one place. To name a few:

Academe’s move to dumb down the kids to make way for socialism
Trillions in debt that won’t stimulate the economy
Trillions in taxes for consumption and nothing for private investment
29% credit card interest rates funded by the Fed’s 1% cost to banks
No Job, No Income, No Asset (NINJA) loans by Franks and Dodd
Takeover of banks, auto companies, insurance companies by the state
$58 trillion in unfunded entitlement debt and climbing
Support for union blackmail of industry
Academe’s support for equality of outcomes and restricting free speech
