EPA Places Industry On Notice And Issues Emission Standards For Big Rigs And Buses
President Barack Obama’s administration is rolling out new emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses that White House officials say will cut U.S. carbon pollution by approximately 1.1 billion metric tons and reduce the nation’s oil consumption by up to 84 billion gallons by 2027.

The new rules mandate 25 percent lower carbon emissions and fuel consumption for semitractor-trailer rigs, delivery trucks, school buses and similar vehicles between model years 2021 and 2027. The regulations are intended to build on prior rules that required companies to reduce the pollution by trucks and buses that were made in the model years between 2014 and 2018 by approximately 270 million metric tons.

Bush, the idiot son, already accomplished that. Drove the US straight into the worst recession since the great depression. It will be difficult for any president to top that - - - oh wait, Trump the refressionist may be up next.

Obama has no possibility of doing that as long as the republicans control congress.

The presidency of the USA is NOT an entry level position. If you applied for the presidency of a Trump building without prior experience - you would be laughed at. A person who has no concept of how the constitution is amended(Hillary has no chance of getting the 2nd amendment repealed - even if she wanted to - which she has NEVER said) and has never held any elected office might be a candidate for dog-catcher - not for president. THe shame is - with all of the people in the USA - the major parties cannot nominate a suitable candidate - which will only prolong the problems. With Republicans fully in control of the house - there will be NO wall - no "extreme vetting" of Muslims - no discrimination against Muslims - no need to register weapons sold at shows - the right of terrorists to purchase a military weapon will be protected - NONE of that will ever pass both houses of congress. ANd with the Senate withing the range of a fillibuster - regardless of who is in control - there will be no big reduction in corporate taxes - no reduction in taxes on incomes over $250,000, no major infrastructure program. IE - NOTHING that these two idiots claim has a chance of actually being put into law.

You may as well vote for my 97 year old mother for president - she has - ALL HER LIFE - Has had a perfectly balanced check book (Never a penny missing) - and she has never spent thousands on a toilet seat either.

Say what you want to say, but Obama has been the WORST steward of our economy. On one hand, he's much more than doubled the all time debt accumulated by every President before him. On the other hand, he is the high priest of the secular religion of global warming and he believes that the USA doing thing unilaterally to combat global warming--even if is drives more jobs to Mexico and China--is the blessed thing to do. His minions at the EPA could not be more controlled by him if they tried.

Problem is Tom is the Repubs don't stop anything. The $400M++ we just sent to Iran they should have said no and if you send it we'll not fund this or that. Anything Barry does that's outside his job spec, which he's done alot, should be halted w/the power of the purse. Shut him down completely. You want the EPA to close all the coal mines, we'll defund the EPA and every bureaucrat ideologue loses THEIR jobs. The Repubs have got to get serious. If Hitlary wins they must control what they can control because she will be out of control. She wants to put Obama on the SCOTUS just Bork him, like the Democraps have done. She wants a gutless ally as her Attorney General do not approve them until she picks someone who is non-biased towards her and the "foundation". If she presses the boundaries of her job spec, shut her down and get aggressive. They have GOT to do their jobs... we don't elect kings even tho some like to act that way.

Once Mattie and xjug are done with their Men's room exploits they may reach a conscious thought level again. If you Republican turds are doing worse now under Obama than Bush the idiot son, it's because you are lazy and incompetent. My finances have finally recovered from the last Republican turdfest and I'm thriving as is the rest of the economy. Housing and construction are up, employment is down, car sales are up, wall street is up - a democratic trend according to GDP by President from top to bottom in history:

Kennedy/Johnson 5.3%
Clinton 3.8%
Reagan 3.4%
Carter 3.4%
Nixon/Ford 2.7%
Eisenhower 2.4%
Obama 2.0%
GHW Bush 2.0%
Truman 1.9%
GW Bush 1.6%

The lying, dictatorship party of the republicans want you to believe they are fiscal conservatives, but the truth is far from it. As we can see below, Bonzo the clown was the worst president ever base on % increase in spending.

Barack Obama: Added $6.494 trillion, a 56% increase in the $11.657 trillion debt level attributable to President Bush by the end of his last budget, FY 2009.
Ronald Reagan: Added $1.86 trillion, 186% increase in the $998 billion debt level at the end of Carter's last budget, FY 1981.

Never ever trust a party who wants to eliminate science and replace it with faith. I've traveled around the world for many years and can tell you that I'm glad we have conservation and pollution controls. Mattie still thinks Nevada is the east coast and xjug hasn't been out of his house or taken his hands out of his pants in front of his computer since Sarah Palin had her 10 seconds of fame. These are the people who want to tell us how to direct our foreign policy and tell the rest of the world how to live and who to worship (of course "born again Catholic" Mattie, will just lie about that).
