    Title:
    "Environmentalism Under Fire:" EPA's Rulings Will They Kill Jobs...
    Content:

    The Economist, 6/3/11, "Environmentalism Under Fire Soaring Emissions".

    No doubt this topic is highly charged and one worth discussing.  There have been several EPA / legislatively charged topics lately. Not the least was a recent push back for state's rights over the federal EPA.

    Definitely a good summary to the topics at hand at the end of this article:

    "In short, both the Democrats and the Republicans think they have found a winning theme in the other party's environmental policies.  Any they may both, in fact, be right.  Most polling suggests that the environment is not a critical issue in the eyes of many voters.  But talking about it is a great way to fire up activists and donors on both sides."

      To paraphrase a famous quote, I can't put my finger on any text in the Constitutional which allows EPA to exist, and can find text which prohibits it (same with Energy, Labor, Education, and Agriculture).
