                        EPA IN OUR WALLETS AGAIN

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the EPA is once again in our wallets. The 
EPA is forcing American companies and workers to cough up $60 billion 
for new clean air regulations. To boot, EPA's own scientists say these 
regulations are not justified. Now if that is not enough to file your 
chapter 7, Congress never approved them. Beam me up. Talk about a 
government coming at us. IRS one day, EPA the next.
  Wake up, Congress. The people did not elect the EPA. They elected a 
Congress to run our Government. I say fire these fat-cat bureaucrats of 
the EPA who are so dumb they could throw themselves at the ground and 
miss. After all, we can hire regulators a lot cheaper from Korea to 
screw our country up.
  I yield back the balance of any more of this pollution.
