Have you or your business been on the receiving end of mistreatment from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)? If so, you could have a job in a new Herman Cain Administration. The presidential candidate said in an interview that he would like to set up a regulatory reduction commission that includes victims of the renegade government agency. Cain was among several candidates who addressed the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans last week.
"Whenever science does not back up a regulation, it's gone, that's the idea," he said. "If you have been abused by the EPA you are a candidate for this commission. We need to stand up average Americans and job creators and we need to get government back in check."
Cain’s comments were prompted by the job killing regulations and lawsuits filed by the EPA related to Obama’s climate change agenda.
Recently the EPA announced that they were going to impose unrealistic timelines for the implementation of climate change rules that American Electric Power Chairman Michael G. Morris denounced saying, “We will have to prematurely shut down nearly 25 percent of our current coal-fueled generating capacity, cut hundreds of good power plant jobs, and invest billions of dollars in capital to retire, retrofit and replace coal-fueled power plants. The sudden increase in electricity rates and impacts on state economies will be significant at a time when people and states are still struggling.”
Cain also said he would put permits for oil drilling on "booster rockets" to help revive the Gulf coast economy. Cain is the former chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza.
