I need CO2 to keep my trees healthy. Can I be arrested for exhaling CO2 near my kids? Did all stupid people in the world get together to run this once great country?

What the Federal goverment is doing is against the Constitution. Like the people in goverment who are trying to get rid of guns and leave us totally defenseless is against the second amendment, the majority of the states will in the end make their own laws supporting the second amendment since it is a part of the Constitution. To deny that it is unconstitutional to make any law restricting the use of guns in any way, that person is not supporting the Constitution. Infact it is obligatory that all citizens and all states support and defend the second amendmenmt since it is a part of the Constitution and must not be violated, just so it is with the environmental agency or EPA, no where in the Constitution is there stated the right of the Federal Government to control industry in the various states. The only thing stated in the Constitution is regulating trade with regard to tarrifs and regulating trade between states and states and other countries and again only as regards the imposition of tarrifs and other fees which could be charged to imports. The states must now make their own laws regulating the industries within their borders which they can do as per what is not specified in the Constitution is left to the states and to the individual citizen. We must litterally throw the Federal Government out of all of the states and the states must deal with the federal Government exactly as if the state is a person. In this way all income tax and other agency and commission controlled acts, HUD, NEA, FED, EPA, Patriot Act and any other Acts or Agencies must be done away with and this would be possible if the States took it upon themselves to deal with the Federal Government with regard to taxes, EPA, Social Security Commission, regulation of insurances, the FDA, FCC, FTC, FAA and all of these agencies should be elimminated and the states take over these activities. The United States forgot what it was about when they even got rid of the Articles of Confederation thus creating the machinery to eventually create a strong central tyranical government and this was cemented when the South lost the Civil War.

Congress should be outraged. It's particularly terrible that the EPA is to begin regulating carbon under the Clean Air Act, but only at higher concentrations than the law technically requires, because to do otherwise would be "absurd." Plainly they don't care what the law says, they're just going to find whatever excuse they can to do what they want to. They're acting precisely like dictators. We need to make that clear to everyone. This is so totalitarian, frankly. Congress should be outraged.

Even if we went along with all their ideas, pollution is a global problem, and the atmosphere equalizes the air. India & China and many 3rd world countries are not going to reduce any contribution they make to bad enviornment, and without that, we are peeing in the ocean!

I thought at the time that it would soon be another out of control government agency, and sure enough, its just another craphole federal agency sucking up $s and creating havoc everywhere they go!!!@ You know, I remember when George Bush senior signed the bill to create the environmental protection agency.

This will result in more job loss (we really need that right now). The administration will counter by saying they SAVED the environment and the world. More importantly, there "eventually" will be plenty of Green Jobs, whatever that is. Meanwhile, if Americans are so poor they have to live in huts for a few decades - sacrifice will be needed. Keystone Cops at their best. Was it not a liberal democrat who quipped, "It's the economy stupid"?
