    Shanghai pollution

    Are you serious?  We can go outside most days in our largest cities and breathe relatively clean air.  You'd do away with the EPA and smog controls on cars and trucks, so we could enjoy breathing air like the Chinese do in Shanghai?

    Not a joke, jobs lost.

    Not a joke, jobs lost. Read for yourself. 'HIDDEN TAX': Red tape tab nears $2T

    According to CEI, the biggest cost tucked into this year's agenda comes from environmental regulations, adding up to roughly $379 billion.

    Got money and a job? Then this cost you nothing; others suffer. Compassion is scarce.

    Also, the article (nor I) does not recommend the abolition of EPA. Put it on a leash.

    I will not put words in your mouth, so long as you observe the same common decency. Thanks in advance.

    The marginal cost of incremental benefit is always paid in some opportunity cost in other efforts not made, resources or productivity, and yes, even jobs lost.

    Sorry, I did not intend to put words in your mouth, was just asking a question.  But because this is not trading related, I sent you a PM if you want to discuss further.  Good weekend to you.
