The EPA and you. YOU WILL PAY for the Clean Air Act

Don't blame corn for high food prices.
Expect higher food prices as the EPA enforces the Clean Air Act on
every farm and Mr. Chertof enforces the Homeland Security Act to
increase hazardous traffic on the interstate highways.

Proposed EPA GHG fees will annually charge $175 for each fresh or dry
milk cow and bull; $87.50 for each beef head or steer; $20 for each
pigglet, sow, bare, and boar. EPA calculates that 100 tons of green
house gas equivalents are emitted by 25 dairy cows, 50 beef steers,
200 pigs or equal combinations. CAA Enforcement represents an
additional cost of $1 per pound for beef considering four years fee
is charged for both the cow and calf growing two years.

For tracking purposes, each farm must also pay for an imbedded ID for
each critter and purchase and maintain a GHG permit for the farm
operation. Revenues obtained from farms growing food, animal fees and
farm penalties are being used to bail out Wall Street, GM, Ford,
Banks, CitiCorp, Insurance, Credit Cards, PAC, golden CEO parachutes,
$ Trillion political campaigns, ACORN, medical and social security
for foreign aliens and a few federally qualified domestics. Thanks to
the Clean Air Act.

Food prices will also increase to pay to transport fertilizer on the
hazardous interstate highways alongside the family auto rather than
to transport hazardous explosive nitrous fertilizer in the safety of
railcars on the remote railways. Thanks to the Homeland Security Act.

Steep fees associated EPA action will force family farms out of
business and force higher grocery and restaurant prices for food,
cereal, grain, mutton, milk, beef and pork.

More than 90 percent of U.S. dairy, beef and pork production would be
affected. The EPA rate for GHG equivalents of $43.75 per ton of
emitted greenhouse gases is expected to increase each year further
increasing consumer cost for electricity, transportation, food, fiber.

The EPA rules would not decrease global greenhouse gases except as
the additional cost of food reduces the consumption of food. There is
no net reduction when a ton of GHG in the US is replaced by adding a
ton of GHG in China or India.

Unilateral Farm tax and farm regulation of greenhouse gases and farm
animals under the Clean Air Act will impose additional restrictions
on the U.S. economy and the global food supplies but result in no
reduction on greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
