However &#8212; regardless of what occurs on Nov. 2 &#8212; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA\u2019s) campaign to impose its new round of economy-wide environmental regulations will continue in 2011. That should worry every American, because EPA\u2019s wish list will hit consumers and business where it hurts: their pocketbooks.<\/p>\n<p>Supported by an administration that has suffered defeat after defeat on Capitol Hill in its attempt to pass wholesale climate change legislation, EPA instead seeks to impose its costly and burdensome regulatory agenda through the back door. From overly complex new greenhouse gas rules to more stringent ozone standards to new mandates for recycled coal ash, unelected EPA bureaucrats hope to decree through regulatory fiat what they can\u2019t enact through the democratic or legislative processes.<\/p>\n<p>If successful, EPA\u2019s agenda could cost American families $3,000 per year, according to Heritage Foundation estimates. &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the entire piece <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/congress-blog\/energy-a-environment\/126473-epa-regulatory-lunge-could-result-in-2011-economic-plunge\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an op-ed published today on The Hill&#8217;s Congress Blog, CFIF Vice President Timothy Lee warns that &#8220;regardless of what\u00a0occurs on November 2,&#8221; \u00a0the EPA&#8217;s regulatory agenda moving forward\u00a0threatens to\u00a0hit consumers and business hard and right where it hurts: their pocketbooks.
