By SoundOffSister / July 23, 2011 /

Remember earlier this year when the President directed that all administrative agencies review their rules so as to strike an appropriate balance between the need for the regulation and the economic impact of the regulation?  It should come as no surprise that the EPA either didn’t get the memo, or assumed that the President’s directive did…

Allen West is wrong… Closing of lead smelting plant will not increase cost of ammo

By Steve McGough / December 2, 2013 /

It’s a sexy story. “The EPA in a backdoor move by the Obama administration is forcing the last lead smelting plant in the United States to close… resulting in what’s certain to be a reduction of supply of ammo, and increased costs.” But it’s simply not true.

By SoundOffSister / January 22, 2011 /

Yesterday, the EPA decided, over the objections of most automobile manufacturers, that it would “allow ” a mixture of 15% ethanol in all gasoline sold in the United States for all model year 2001 through 2006 cars.  Last October it did the same for all model year 2007 and later.  By now you know that…
