When The World Operates By Permit
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
The bureaucrats who wish us to believe they operate the world and the political champions who put them in charge consider that nothing should take place unless they sign off and agree. Through the use of permits (government permission slips) business enterprises may or may not carry out activities they need to engage in as part of their operations.
Thursday, June 10th the United States Senate is scheduled to vote on S.J. Resolution 26, a measure which if passed would use the authority of the elected, legislative branch to keep the un-elected bureaucratic corp at the Environmental Protection Agency from implemented their scheme of regulative controls on Green House Gases. EPA’s storm-troopers would like to establish a permit system to control the emission of Green House Gases (like Carbon Dioxide…the stuff we exhale when we breath). Supposedly they are only aiming their intrusive reach at the biggest of all emitters. It seems somewhat strange that they seem to think that people actually believe them, but I guess if you think you can get people to buy into the concept of green house gases in the first place…they probably will also swallow the part that only the “big” will pay.
Government permits for emitting green house gases puts the EPA in charge of still another aspect of what can be done and how much doing something will costs. We are especially concerned at the likely approach of requiring permits for Dairies, poultry operations and greenhouses. It is not outside the likely realm of possibility that in some instances, operators may be required to obtain expensive permits before being allowed to expand or modify their facilities. Command and control zealots, like those who operate EPA, consider everything and anything under their purvey to be in charge of.
Passage of the bi-partisan resolution in the U.S. Senate seems like it will be a challenge all by itself and according to the reports coming from down the street from the U.S. Capitol, President Obama has said he’ll veto anything that comes to him that would restrict EPA’s regulatory expansion in this area. Unless Congress does pass the resolution and the one of the same type in the House, EPA’s permit writers will have gained a further in-road for destruction of our economy.
Reading the press accounts of how the champions of Big Government spin this is incredible. Taking full advantage of every crisis (including their own failures to take meaningful action on the Gulf oil leak) the arguments are that those who oppose the EPA unrelenting expansion are causing the devastation.
When the voting in the U.S. Senate is done we will celebrate the passage and recognize those who have stood up for our freedoms and our possible economic improvement. If it fails to pass, we need to also pay close attention to those who have voted against the proposal and hold those up for election in 2010 responsible for the further invasive controls of a government agency that would like nothing better than to require a permit for every breath we take.
