These new regulatory efforts are not likely to succeed, the EPA admits, but it has decided to move forward regardless. “While EPA acknowledges that come 2016, the administrative burdens may still be so great that compliance … may still be absurd or impossible to administer at that time, that does not mean that the Agency is not moving toward the statutory thresholds,” the EPA wrote in a September 16 court briefing.The good news? Those additional 230,000 government jobs will help offset the loss of 183,000 private-sector jobs.
The EPA is asking taxpayers to fund up to 230,000 new government workers to process all the extra paperwork, at an estimated cost of $21 billion. That cost does not include the economic impact of the regulations themselves[emphasis mine – P].
On behalf of all taxpayers…not just no, but hell, no. This insanity must be stopped.

I can't wait to see the tax bill they slap on the last private employee in America...
By then, Richard, we'll be using play money, rather than real money.
Paco, I'm with you -- the EPA can go to hell. In a carbon fiber handbasket.
@JeffS: do you mean we're not using play money now?
