Obama lies a lot but sometimes his threats to take actions with dreadful consequences unfortunately come true. He said he would not outlaw coal fired generating plants but with regulations and taxes he would make it so costly to operate that plants would have to shut down. Now the EPA is scheduled to add more regulations of coal plants that are estimated to cost the industry 129 billion dollars and shut down at least one of every five plants. Since coal provides almost half of all the electricity used in this country, millions of consumers will pay more and other millions will be without power. This comes at a time of a sick economy and high unemployment.
We all want clean water and air that we can breathe, but there is such a thing as common sense, something that Obama and the EPA seem to lack. Some actions of the EPA are so far out they are unbelievable, such as regulating the amount of dust a farmer can stir up when plowing. Yes, that's a fact. Will a farmer have to get a permit to plow a row of cotton and will there be a team of government officials to measure the dust as he plows?
An occasional reader of this blog told me I seem to be angry much of the time. How can I not be angry as I see what Obama and his people are doing to our nation? The question should not be why am I angry but whether, why aren't you angry? Why isn't there one congressman with the guts to point his finger at Obama and tell him to stop this insanity?
