The EPA released a report this week that said cutting pollution under the Clean Air Act will save $20 trillion by 2020 in health costs. It will also have prevented 230,000 premature deaths annually from heart attacks, and other health problems that can be brought on by smokestack pollutants such as soot, it said.
:bird: Shut it down.

2020 - 2011 = 9 years
$20 Trillion / 9 years = $2.22 trillion per year
US GDP = $13 trillion
healthcare = 1/6 US economy
13 / 6 = $2.16 trillion annually
2.16 / 2.22 = .97
So what these assholes are saying is:
97% of all healthcare concerns in US are from bad air ergo 97% of all maladies can be prevented by passing clean air legislation
Are there not rules against lying to congress?

I'd say the squealing sounds as if they're starting to feel the cuts. Obviously, that means we need to make the cuts BIGGER. :fuelfire:

Sounds like a bunch of defensive noise from an enormously bloated bureaucratic empire, one of the chief tools that has been used to great effect in sending our manufacturing base overseas. Forget the cuts and commence with wanton hacking, two handed Excalibur broadsword style hacking.
