The EPA is broken




Stephen Johnson (Bush’s EPA administrator) refuses to sign the waiver to allow California and a dozen other states to have higher emissions standards. California never had a problem getting these waivers signed until Johnson came onto the scene.

I thought the Republicans were for smaller government, where states have more power to regulate, not less. By stealing California’s ability to lead in fuel economy, Johnson is polluting on a grand scale, stifling innovation, and as one of the war hawks, he’s hindering the war effort. This is the first war in our history where we’re encouraged to consume with impunity.

We all owe our great grandkids an apology for the outrageous bill that we’re leaving for them.
