Biden's EPA Rules Threaten 1 Million Manufacturing Jobs
Biden Plots To Wipe Out 1 Million American Manufacturing Jobs
President Biden's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a new air quality regulation that could eliminate up to 1 million manufacturing jobs…
But just how bad is it? You'll find out next.
What is Happening?
The Environmental Protection Agency recently created new rules to limit a type of air pollution called particulate matter. These tiny pieces of pollution are known as PM2.5. They can get deep into people's lungs and cause health problems.
The EPA made the amount of PM2.5 allowed in the air lower than before. They say this will stop 4,500 early deaths and 290,000 lost work days. It is supposed to create up to $46 billion in health benefits by 2032.

Manufacturing Jobs at Risk
But manufacturing groups say the new rules go too far. Jay Timmons leads the National Association of Manufacturers. He says the rules are even stricter than Europe's. He claims they will make it very hard to build new factories in many parts of America.
Timmons thinks up to 1 million manufacturing jobs could be lost. He says states like Michigan will be hurt most. New investments there may dry up. That would affect the whole state's economy.
Undermining Progress?
President Biden wants America to lead the world in manufacturing again. But Timmons believes these new EPA rules will undermine that goal. It will drive investments to other countries with lower standards, he says.
Recently, manufacturing was growing. The number of workers reached 13 million - the highest in 15 years. But Timmons thinks new rules like this put that progress at risk.
Staying the Course in Turbulent Times
While this new EPA regulation presents challenges, it's important to keep perspective. American manufacturing has shown resilience and America's future is bright. Focusing on sound investments, supporting pro-growth policies, and staying true to conservative principles will see us through. Turbulence is inevitable, but we must stay the course.
As long as we keep our focus on growing investments, identifying harmful policies, and supporting helpful ones, the future looks bright. Staying grounded in values and being informed is the key.
There will always be obstacles, but perseverance and perspective will carry us far. The path ahead remains promising.
To the future of our America,
James Reagan
