EPA’s Lisa Jackson Telling Businesses How To Invest

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson said in a speech at the BlueGreen Alliance national conference in Washington, D.C., that American businesses with a “record amount of cash holdings,” estimated at $1.93 trillion, could invest some of those holdings to create jobs that advance pollution control.

“Even a portion of the $1.93 trillion invested in developing and installing new pollution control technology would result in good jobs right here for American workers,” Jackson said to the gathering of labor unions and environmental activists.

She said the EPA’s “fundamental responsibility is protecting the health of the American people,” and warned against “special interests” that don’t understand the importance of that mission.

“It is important, as special interests try to gut our safeguards like the Clean Air Act that EPA has worked for and under for decades,” Jackson said. “And while special interests try to find loopholes so big polluters can skirt other common sense health protections.

Jackson said that standards and regulations set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are good for job creation and the economy.

Everyone wants clean air, clean soil, and clean water.  The EPA though has an agenda that will destroy American businesses and our economy.  Businesses won’t invest in anything in the anti-business climate of Barack Obama and his administration.

Lisa Jackson knows nothing about business or running a business.  Now she professes to tell them how to invest.
