The people at the helm of Obama’s EPA won’t rest until they’ve killed every industry remaining in America. It’s insanity. The latest is the EPA’s proposal to regulate dust. Yes, that’s right, dust! If the regulations are put in place, the future of the cattle and beef industry will be in doubt.
CNS News: According to a representative of the cattle and beef industry, America may need a “strategic hamburger reserve” if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implements proposed new regulations for cattle producers.“From where I sit, (the Obama administration) appears to be aimed at destroying the cattle industry in America as we know it,” Tamara Thies, the chief environmental counsel at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said on Capitol Hill last week.
“It is ironic that as we work to become less dependent on foreign oil, Obama policies are likely to make us more dependent on foreign beef. Maybe we’ll need to start a strategic hamburger reserve after the Obama administration is finished with us.”
Thies’ comments came at a hearing conducted by the House Republicans’ Rural America Solutions Group about the EPA’s proposed regulations on the industry, which include the toughest dust regulations in history – one which would significantly impact the rural economy by imposing steep fines on cattle producers who, Thies said, most likely cannot afford them.
These unelected bureaucrats are fighting a war on business, not to mention the health of Americans. Do you think imported beef will be as safe to eat as domestic beef? We could wind up importing beef mixed with cat and dog. But hey, the breadbasket of America will be a little less dusty, so it will all be worth it, right?
Update – Related: The EPA wants to reduce the ground level ozone standard to such a level that will drain $1 trillion from the private economy. As long as these statists have power don’t expect any improvement in the economy. The best we can hope for is a slowdown of the deterioration. If Democrats hold Congress after November 2 even a slowdown is unlikely.
