Sen. Ted Cruz released this press statement today blasting the new EPA regulations:
“The new EPA rules announced by the Obama Administration will cripple the coal industry and deprive Americans from jobs, whether they are employed by coal mines or related power plants, or employed in energy dependent business such as manufacturing or technology businesses,” said Sen. Cruz.
“These rules will not only drive up electric bills, but also threaten the reliability of the nation’s electric grid and make it harder for American manufactures to compete in the world market. Once again, President Obama is more concerned with the desires of billionaire campaign contributors and placating extremist special interests than helping American workers and families escape the failed Obama economy.
The legislation I introduced earlier this year, the American Energy Renaissance Act would specifically halt these job-killing regulations and encourage the creation of good-paying energy jobs.”
I love the portion highlighted in bold because that exactly gets to the motivations of this lawless president. And it makes me wonder how much longer the American people are going to put up with Democrats who have increased the cost of their health care and are now going to skyrocket the cost of energy, all because of an ideology that says American needs to be taken down a peg. It’s simply amazing what this press has allowed Democratas and this administration get away with, especially after the way they went after Bush.
