Henry Waxman actually said...

"As Congressman Waxman explained in his opening statement, the ratio between the cost and the benefits, the benefits exceed the cost by several orders of magnitude in almost all of these rules."

"This is an unprecedented intrusion on the authority of the EPA."

"Faced with these facts, opponents of EPA rules now argue that we should simply ignore the benefits and consider only the costs."

"If I just looked at the costs, that would be one way to make a decision, but you should look at the costs and benefits."
