Open Thread: EPA Doesn't Calculate Regulations' Effects on Employment

April 18th, 2011 8:46 AM

Last week EPA Assistant Administrator Mathy Stanislaus testified before a House committee, and really let the cat out of the bag: no, the agency does not consider the toll its regulations take on job creation in its decisions to implement them. The video below the break woud be highly entertaining - Rep. Cory Gardener, R-Colo., grills Stanislaus on the policy for five minutes - if the facts it revealed weren't so startling. Take a look and let us know what you think.

The Daily Caller reminds us that this EPA policy (or non-policy, rather) might actually be in violation of an Obama executive order, What do you think of the exchange?
