Jim Inhofe

EPA's ozone proposal is the most expensive regulation in history with projected costs of $1.7 trillion and 1.4 million lost jobs.

Instead of creating a new regime of costly, job-killing mandates, the EPA should focus its efforts on helping counties that have not yet met the 1997 and the 2008 standards.

I credit Senator Jim Inhofe for asking for some consideration with regards to an investigation by the GAO.

The desired end-states in Iraq and Syria are for each to achieve a state of political stability free from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Are you sending the right number and type of forces in Syria and Iraq to achieve your strategy? Have you accurately defined their mission and objectives?

Iran and Russia could play constructive roles in achieving each of these end-states if they so choose; to date, they have chosen otherwise.

Where is our moral--where is our--the tradition of the United States of America?

Of our 65 coalition partners, what coalition partners are conducting ground combat operations and what partners are conducting air combat operations?

What each of these growing threats has in common is a failure of deterrence, brought on by a dangerous perception of American weakness and lack of resolve.

The reality today is that ISIL continues to gain territory in Iraq and Syria, while expanding its influence and presence across the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia.

None of the so-called progress that the President cited suggests that we are on a path to success.

Climate is always changing. We understand that.

I recognize that he was not a member of the U.S. Senate in December 2009. That was right after the scandal came out.

I genuinely have a love for this guy. It is the hypocrites that I do not like.

You probably agree with the statement made by Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT when he said the regulation of carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you regulate carbon, you regulate life itself.

The IG confirms the endangerment finding was rushed, biased and flawed.

Confession is good for the soul.

I agree with the amendment because the amendment was saying climate is changing.

Can you talk about how the EPA selects members and why it seems that well qualified experts like us are under-represented?

I do not think anyone has talked about the regional treasures yet I think it was Administrator McCarthy who told the National Farmers Union that the EPA plans to finalize a rule that will go even further than the original proposed by…

Rather than withdrawing their proposal and starting over with the input of farmers, small businesses, local governments and States, EPA went into campaign mode.

EPA and the Corps of Engineers proposed a rule that would significantly expand Federal control over land and water.

I am very pleased to be an original cosponsor of the Federal Water Quality Protection Act.

I would also like to make sure the record notes what the EPA actually conducted, the New York Times suggests, was an unprecedented grassroots lobbying campaign that may violate Federal law.

It is clear that no amount of questions or concerns is going to change their minds and Congress needs to provide some direction.
