Bull! EPA regs cost US business something like $300 bbbbillion a year
in
additional overhead. Other regs (OSHA, and the endless list) account
for
over $800 BILLION. Try competing with that hanging over your economy.

Try breathing the thickly smog polluted air in Mexico City, where
automobile exhaust emission controls are nonexistent. The choice is
yours: environmental responsibility or early respiratory related
death.


Which, I might add, is a cost to society.


So you both consider the only alternatives to be A) $300 billion worth of
often contradictory regulations, or B) massive pollution?? Hmmmm...!!??


No, what I said is that enviornmental regulation is not a major cause of
jobs moving offshore. You have to realize that most of your $300B figure is
going to reduce pollution and that is reducing cost somewhere else.
