On the recordFebruary 10, 2011
And to add insult to injury, when asked if their regulations had a cost benefit analysis, they said that they didn't need them, that their rules were the most cost-effective in government. I strongly beg to differ. I think that the arrogant nature of the EPA and the administration is not doing American business any favor or American jobs any favors. Something has to be done to stop this epidemic. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this resolution.
