( Arizona): $9 Car Insurance Trick? - I discovered the 1 trick your agent will never tell you... Glendale - New trick allows any Arizona resident to get extremely cheap car insurance.
by Conn Carroll Senior Editorial Writer Follow on Twitter: @conncarroll
For the second time in four months the Environmental Protection Agency has confirmed that they will again delay the release of their much anticipated global warming regulations. An EPA spokeswoman told National Journal Thursday that the EPA will not issue caps on greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to the Clean Air Act by their latest September 30th deadline. The EPA had originally promised the environmental activist groups suing the federal government that they would issue global warming regulations by July 26th.

The EPA's latest retreat on climate change regulation comes almost two weeks after President Obama ordered EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to rescind her ozone rules. According to the EPA's own esitmates, the ozone rule would have infliced $90 billion in costs on the U.S. economy every year. Analysts expect the EPA's global warming regulations to cost more than $100 billion annually. Sign Up

Amen to that. Bunch of idiots drinking the Obozo/Algore kool-aid. Global warming is a SCAM. Anyone who points out a problem and then says "if you give me money I'll solve it for you" is a snake-oil salesman and used to be tarred and feathered.

Global warming is a scam. The fact that companies will wilingly dump pure chemical sludge into our ground water and rivers is not. The EPA has it's place and people saying that it doesn't are foolish. They just need to be sticking to real problems not made up crap.

I think they need to be scaled back, and keep their nose out of CO2 regulation. The EPA has done a lot of good, but now they're just power grabbing like the unions. Maybe their time is up for now. They have enough regulations to take care of, they don't need to be making more.

This just proves that EPA is as incompetent as it is corrupt. They WANT to do irreparable harm to the economy, but they just don't have the bureaucratic chops to get the job done.
The EPA has to get a ruling on the First Amendment prohibition of making of any law respecting an establishment of religion before they act. They have to consult Pope Al Gore and the Church of Global Warming first. They are having a hard time finding him while he's flying around in his private jet selling indulgences.
Whoo hoo... This is the first time I am thankful for a Bureaucracy. Keep stalling... we don't have long till 2012 .
Good idea delay the regulations and abolish the EPA.

The EPA is the new SS gestapo. I think we should be good stewards of our planet but the EPA is infested with a bunch of over educated tree huggers that think if you fart you are destroying the planet.
Everyone with a disparaging remark towards our dear leader or any agency under his rule will face the full consequences. I'm reporting all of you to AttackWatch.com!!!! Now kneel before him.

Abolish the EPA

The Marxists tree huggers in the EPA know if they do that there will be a bunch of electric plants forced to shut down and then chaos will ensue.
EPA,EPA, how many job did you kill today. EPA, EPA you are not protecting anyone so go away. EPA, EPA, your cap & trade will not see the light of day.
The EPA and the Department of Energy, and teh Department of Education are all unnessary government agencies. Dump them All
First let us understand what the EPA really is. They are a bunch of ignoramuses who couldn't land a job as a McDonald's trainee. The only way they can get ahead is to increase the budget of the EPA so they can steal more money from the American taxpayer. If they only stole cash from us it wouldn't be so bad, but the EPA has single-handedly destroyed most manufacturing jobs in the USA and our economy has followed it right down our EPA approved toilets. They are at the heart of the destruction of the US economy; I'm sure they don't mean to be evil but then evil never sees itself for what it is. The fact is that they are stupid people; how do we know this - they are government employees and that says it all. This means they are people who are afraid to enter the real world where wages are decided by the value that free people decide what they are worth. Whoever called Nixon a right winger is so far off the mark it is a bad joke. This vile agency is yet one... show more
I can see the game that Obama and the EPA are playing. They are going to keep postponing the rules until after next year's election. Obozo is afraid of what will happen, when the rules are made public.

Global Warming is a scam. The so called science was based on studies funded for a pre-determined outcome. The EPA should be drastically cut and should not be allowed to legislate through regulation.
The EPA is out of control; they are the U.S. version of Gestapo for businesses.
Under Obama it is the Employment Prevention Administration !

EPA and Department of Energy both created in the mid 1970s should be abolished and the buildings put up for auction so they can never be reopened in the future by Pelosi wannabees! The 2 above mentioned departments are responsible for jobs lost, businesses moving abroad, more lobbying in Washington D.C. and billions of dollars worth of waste in the government. shut them down!
If these phonys get their way with this green global warming regulations in this country then you all had better start learning chinese. The asian manufacturing companies, especialy the chinese do not pratice any of this environmental crap while the liberals and their holi one obama hold usto unfair standards, and as a result all of you poor slobs in the United States have no jobs and they don't care. obama and his liberal cronies care nothing about increasing our manufacturing base; all they want is to shove this phony green crap down the throats of all Americans, they believe that raising taxes and giving away money to their freinds (eg. Solyndra and the Southern alliance for clean energy) will save the US; well they are a bunch of lying theives they have already lost over 500 million to the phony SOLYNDRA that was in bd with obama.
Not only redo the EPA completely, we need to get rid of the Dems Department of NO energy, and Department of Education. Both failed wasteful programs.
END THE EPA PERIOD!

I disagree slightly. I think the EPA can be saved, along with all of the other Dept of Something federal institutions, if they are reduced to research departments that submit recommendations to Congress. Than we the voters can get rid of congressmen that create over-reaching and burdensome regulations. I have no issues with the government funding studies of ways to reduce pollution, improve education, increase agricultural yields. It's the 'regulation without representation' part of the EPA, Dept. of Education, etc., that I have a problem with. Make congress do their job instead of getting lackeys to do it so they don't have to share in the blame.

They are seeing Baracks election evaporate before their eyes, so they are delaying the vote killing measures and the jobs it would destroy UNTIL after he wins... doubtful now
EPA is the liberal KGB arm against Amerika... - abolish the EPA!!!
It's past time to look at how much progress has been made in the past 20-30 years in cleaning up our air and water. While it would be nice to have fresh mountain air blowing through our skyscrapers and drinkable water at the outfall of every sewage treatment plant, the plain truth is that neither are possible. We could spend trillions and cripple our economy trying to continually wring out every last pollutant, but good enough is good enough. The Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act were not meant to be never-ending, ever-tightening regulation-generating machines. The EPA needs to be reined in and given a dose of simple economic reality. Like a 50% budget cut. For starters.
The EPA and all other institutions with power, but no accoutability need to be eliminated. The EPA should be at least temporarily eliminated until 2018. Humans are more important than sand turtles. Their environmental regulations do absolutely nothing anyways because China and India open 15 giant new coal plants EVERY MONTH. The EPA kills business and does little for the environment.
$100 Bilion EVERY YEAR! What a SCAM! 2012 cannot come soon enough! THROW OBUMMER OUT!
The EPA simply wants to pay, pay and pay. This way, we can't afford gas for our cars!

the current EPA is what you get when you appoint extremists zealots to political office. they actually PAY extremist activist groups to sue them, then use the resulting decision (usually from a hand-picked judge) to justify their inane and anti-Western Civ. regulations.
You are so right. When they want more power a grant to the Sierra Club or some other nut job group to file suit. Then when that group wins the EPA has to pay their lawyers. It's a scam all the way around.

The headline on Drudge was too long. "EPA blows" would've fit better & been more accurate.
EPA needs to be regulating toxic chemicals, and not trying to convert people over to the hocus pocus science of "global warming" or "climate change" now; like we all know that the climate has never changed before.

Where do all these projections of cost an savings come from? Specifically that poor quality air will result in many hundreds of thousands of deaths?
just remember that criminal NIXON started the EPA he also tried PRICE CONTROLS
The EPA was created with good intent. They no longer function as a group making all states equal in the administration and enforcement of reasonable rules. Putting all responsibility on the states makes rules ineffective and meaningless. Enforce the rules originially on the books (Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act) before making new rules.

I work as a private consultant helping applicants from homeowners to big-box stores to state and local agencies get permits under the federal Clean Water Act and similar state permit programs. These permit programs are started under LAWS passed by federal and state legislatures, with RULES or REGULATIONS written by the departments that are charged with implementing the LAWS - such as the US EPA, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and similar state agencies. The real problem with this system is that the legislatures pass the laws, written as vaguely as possible to get enough votes to pass the bills into laws, and THEN the agencies which are charged with implementing the laws write the rules/regulations to implement the laws. And they don't stop rewriting the rules/regulations, making them tougher over time, to the point that they make getting permits needed for anything from building a deck on your house to building an airport nearly impossible, and certainly very expensive. When tough economic times come along, NOBODY wants to go through that expensive wringer, which can take MONTHS or YEARS. That's why there was such an emphasis on... show more

In this letter I would like to respond directly to the E.P.A.'s pestilential circulars. However, considering its inability to cope with the truth I feel that doing so would be a great disservice to the E.P.A. at this time. So, instead, I'll devote the rest of this letter to explaining as politely as possible how by spreading ruin widely through the land, the E.P.A. has forfeited its claim to be morally superior to Attila's Huns or Hulagu's Mongols. I guess I should start by saying that it's really not bloody-mindedness that compels me to get the E.P.A. off our backs. It's my sense of responsibility to you, the reader. The quaesitum of the E.P.A.'s credos is not the betterment of society but rather the establishment of more efficient techniques to instill a subconscious feeling of guilt in those of us who disagree with the E.P.A.'s causeries. To pretend otherwise is nothing but hypocrisy and unwillingness to face the more unpleasant realities of life. You might say, "It's time for the E.P.A. to stop its systematic assault on religious freedom." Fine, I agree. But the E.P.A. once said that we should be grateful for the precious freedom to be robbed and... show more

After Barack loses the 2012 election, about 2 weeks from the day he leaves office he'll have the EPA enact both of these new sets of regulations as well as hundreds more. He'll do it out of malice for Americans not voting to keep him in office but he'll have a news conference and say that "it's the right thing to do for the world to help stop climate destruction". The climate change freaks will rejoice saying the worst polluters are Americans and it's right that we're being held to account for "raping" Mother Earth. Well maybe that last line was too much?

I have a burning desire to vent my spleen on I Know. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what I's particularly chthonic form of absolutism has encompassed as a movement and as a system of rule, we have to look at its historical context and development as a form of whiney politics that first arose in early twentieth-century Europe in response to rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the Bolshevik Revolution. He spouts a lot of numbers whenever he wants to make a point. He then subjectively interprets those numbers to support his bunco games while ignoring the fact that I'm not a postmodernist person. I'd like nothing more than to extend my hand in friendship to I's admirers and convey my hope that in the days to come we can work together to preach a message of community and brotherly love.
