"New smog curbs could cost smaller localities; But EPA says rules will save more lives" by Dina Cappiello, Associated Press | January 8, 2010
I'm really sick and tired being beaten over the head if you don't agree with the agenda.
Yup, BUT, it will SAVE LIVES, so OPEN up those ass cheeks, America.
WASHINGTON - Hundreds of communities far from congested highways and belching smokestacks could soon join America’s big cities and industrial corridors in violation of stricter limits on lung-damaging smog proposed yesterday by the Obama administration.
The costs of compliance could be in the tens of billions of dollars, but the government said the rules would save billions - and lives - in the long run.
And I SUPPOSE all the LYING and the LOOTING has been done to SAVE LIVES, huh?
All the LIES that led to WARS, right?

Yeah, PILE THIS on top of the CARBON and HEALTH TAXES you will be getting later this year, America -- while YOUR DOLLAR is DYING!
Well, Obama the GLOBALIST is going to KILL IT!!!
More than 300 counties - mainly in the Northeast, Southern California, and the Gulf Coast.... will find it even harder to reduce smog-forming pollution enough to comply with the law. The new limits being considered by the Environmental Protection Agency could more than double the number of counties in violation and reach places like California’s wine country in Napa Valley and rural Trego County, Kan., and its 3,000 residents.
For the first time, counties in Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, the Dakotas, Kansas, Minnesota, and Iowa might be forced to find ways to clamp down on smog-forming emissions from industry and automobiles or face government sanctions, most likely the loss of federal highway dollars.
Oh, is that all?
You can keep that money and GIVE IT BACK to the TAXPAYERS, 'kay?!
The tighter standards will ultimately save billions in avoided emergency room visits, premature deaths, and missed work and school days, the EPA said.
Yeah, MORE PROMISES from GOVERNMENT!!
Same EPA that told Ground Zero workers that toxic pit of stew was safe.
But they would NEVER LIE and are ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR GOOD HEALTH, America!!!
And the underlying theme: $$$$ GOVERNMENT is trying to LOWER and RATION HEALTH CARE COSTS, remember!?
Always an AGENDA-PUSHING ANGLE with them!
Global warming is expected to make it worse, because smog is created when emissions from cars, power and chemical plants, refineries, and other factories mix in sunlight and heat.
PFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!!
Representative Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, praised the new standards, asserting that the Bush administration ignored science....
Yeah, and NOW THESE HYPOCRITICAL STAINS are going to IGNORE ClimateGate -- thereby doing the SAME THING as BUSH, only WORSE because GLOBAL WARMING is a LIE!!
"Markey, the dean of the delegation, has taken eight congressional trips abroad since 2005, some in his capacity as chairman of a select committee on global warming.
Oh, GALLIVANTING around the Globe, 'eh, Ed?
Thanks for CONTRIBUTING to the PROBLEM, scum!!!
Counties and states will then have up to 20 years to meet the new limits, depending on how severely they are out of compliance.... Parts of the country that have already spent decades and millions of dollars fighting smog and are still struggling to meet existing thresholds questioned what more they could do....
This give a clue: more $$$$$$$$
EPA estimates that meeting the new requirements will cost industry and motorists from $19 billion up to $90 billion a year by 2020....
Woah, woah, woah, SLOW DOWN!!!!

Of course, the EPA is ON the CASE, right?
"EPA withholds names of some harsh chemicals; Pressure builds for lawmakers to rewrite laws" by Lyndsey Layton, Washington Post | January 10, 2010
Excuse me?
WASHINGTON - Of the 84,000 chemicals in commercial use in the United States - from flame retardants in furniture to household cleaners - nearly 20 percent are secret, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, their names and physical properties guarded from consumers and virtually all public officials under a little-known federal provision.
Yes, this is YOUR OPEN and TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT that CARES SO MUCH ABOUT YOU, America! Sure is COSTING YOU ENOUGH, isn't it?
The policy was designed 33 years ago to protect trade secrets in a highly competitive industry.
AS ALWAYS, your health takes a BACKSEAT to CORPORATION PROFITS, America!! No wonder I never feel so good.
But critics - including the Obama administration - say the secrecy has grown out of control, making it impossible for regulators to control potential dangers or for consumers to know which toxic substances they might be exposed to. At a time of increasing public demand for more information about chemical exposure, pressure is building on lawmakers to make it more difficult for manufacturers to cloak their products in secrecy.
Why? What could be that "secret," huh?
What could no one in the world figure out it has to be protected, huh? What could it be?
Congress is set to rewrite chemical regulations this year for the first time in a generation.
Under the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act, manufacturers must report to the federal government new chemicals they intend to market. But the law exempts from public disclosure any information that could harm their bottom line....
Do I REALLY NEED to COMMENT?
Yeah, and OBAMA is worried about the DEFAULTING GOVERNMENT'S BOTTOM LINE!! That's why the SMOG STEALING!
Some companies have successfully argued that the federal government should not only keep the names of their chemicals secret but also hide from public view the identities and addresses of the manufacturers.
In OUR ACCOUNTABLE "democracy?"
Why would the GOVERNMENT that has been PROTECTING and SERVING YOU all this time DO SUCH a THING, America?
Is it POSSIBLE they NEVER WERE and ARE NOT SERVING YOU at all?
It SURE DOESN'T $MELL like it!
“Even acknowledging what chemical is used or what is made at what facility could convey important information to competitors, and they can start to put the pieces together,’’ said Mike Walls, vice president of the American Chemistry Council....
Government can't even put the "terrorist" pieces together, so WTF you talking about, s***ter?
Of the secret chemicals, 151 are made in quantities of more than 1 million tons a year, and 10 are used specifically in children’s products, according to the EPA....
NEED I EVEN TYPE IT, folks?
Yeah, DOESN'T GIVE a DAMN about YOUR KIDS, either!
What else would you expect from a GOVERNMENT that LIES THEM into WARS!!!?
The identities of the chemicals are known to a handful of EPA employees who are legally barred from sharing that information with other federal officials, state health and environmental regulators, foreign governments, emergency responders, and the public....
But WAR LIES, can be EXCHANGED between the US and ISRAEL!!

Another problem that needs solving:
"Scientists warn against mountaintop mining" by Associated Press | January 8, 2010
WASHINGTON - Mountaintop coal mining - in which peaks are blasted off and stream valleys buried under tons of rubble - is so destructive that the government should stop giving out new permits to do it, a group of scientists said in a paper released yesterday.
Oh, I AGREE with that -- and it doesn't take a scientists to figure this one out.
The group, headed by a University of Maryland researcher, did one of the most comprehensive studies to date of the controversial practice, also known as “mountaintop removal.’’
Afterward, they did something that scientists usually don’t step beyond data-gathering to take a political stand....
Oh, yeah, RIGHT!!!
Remember when Obama believed in science, readers?
