EPA wants to ban dust?

Yes I know there is a millions other things going on and things of bigger political interest but I haven’t had time to breakdown every little stupid thing coming from Washington right now – there are ethics violations, pushes for cap and trade, pushes for this or that, somebody saying something stupid and while you’re not looking the EPA says it’s want to regulate dust…

EPA to Crack Down on Farm Dust

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering a crackdown on farm dust, so senators have signed a letter addressing their concerns on the possible regulations.

Farm dust – the EPA is going to crack down on dirt – you’ve got to be %@#^ing kidding me. It’s freaking dirt, earth and there is little you can do about it. The EPA is only second to Unions in job destruction in this country – they come up with some of the absolute dumbest, most insane regulations one could dream up – take my line of work for example if I work on a house build before 1978 that could have lead paint – according to the EPA I have to use a HEPA filter air purifiers, 6 mil plastic to seal off rooms with 3″ wide seal tape, I have to use a clean suit and a certified breather and eye protection just to cut a damn board that COULD have lead paint on it and after I cut the board I have to call a certified lead tester at my damn expense to test the area for lead dust and if it test positive I have to have the area cleaned again and pay for another testing – and if I don’t do any of this crap I could receive a $37,500.00 fine PER DAY. Now does that sound pro business to you? No, no and hell no the EPA is as anti business as Obama is incompetent.

So it you live on a farm be aware that the EPA is now trying to regulate dust – which I can’t wait to see them try to enforce – I’ve heard of some stupid stuff but this is up there.

I could go on and on regarding the EPA and most of their stupid ideas – but I’m tired and my head can’t take anymore stupidity today.

    I feel the same way about the safe lead practices, they are rediculess. For painters they are even worse. Like capturing the water you use to pressure wash a house! Please! I have been in the business for 30 years and have no lead in my system. I was tested last week. It is a job killer. ALso the fines are un american and outrageous. These guys must be dismantled, and stopped and replaced with people who have common sense.
