One of President Obama’s favorite ways to utterly transform America into a socialist, centrally controlled nightmare is to use his powers to regulate to force industry, especially, to enforce his oppressive societal changes. Here is a story of how one of the EPA’s changes to the ambulance manufacturing industry killed a man.
Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency recently mandated that a new emissions control devices be placed on vehicles with diesel engines. the devices are supposed to help burn off un used fuel instead of allowing it to leak into the air. Consequently, the Washington D.C. fire department dutifully purchased a fleet of ambulances that have these federally mandated devices included.
Unfortunately, these emission control devices are not mechanically sound as the industry was forced by the EPA to make these changes to their vehicles before technology and science had proven them reliable. The decices have proven troublesome both in D.C. and across the country and ambulance crews have been complaining about them for months. The reason? The devices are so temperamental that they often shut down the vehicle’s engine. Yes, even if the ambulance is on a life saving mission, these devices can just simply turn the vehicle off putting patients in danger.

On May 30, one of these ambulances in D.C. was transporting a patient suffering from a gun shot wound when the emissions control device did what all ambulance drivers fear from these things; it shut the car down as paramedics were headed to the hospital with a dying patient.
It took the D.C. fire department seven life-threatening minutes to dispatch another ambulance, but it was too late for Nathaniel McCray, 34, who died in the broken down vehicle as paramedics desperately tried to resuscitate him.
Of course, it is a bit hard to feel too badly for McCray, the guy that died in the broken down ambulance. He was a cop shooter who had been shot by police. Still, the fact is Obama killed this man with his mechanically unsound EPA emissions device. Imagine this: what if McCray wasn’t a cop-killing criminal but was your grandfather or your mother trying to get to the hospital where life-saving care awaited?
Emissions devices aren’t the only things Obama’s wild, over-regulating EPA is forcing on America. High gas prices are another. Lost jobs are still another.
This is quite typical of Obama’s EPA, though. Since he came to office this out of control agency has issued thousands of pages of new regulations requiring mandates on all sorts of machines and industries. But, the problem has been that in case after case Obama has simply mandated these new devices be made and standards be met even when neither science nor technology is yet up to the task of satisfying his mandates. He is making thousands of rules based non-existant science and just expecting industry to suddenly pull new technology out of their rear ends to satisfy his regulations.
Obama’s entire regulatory regime is based on fantasy, not science or technology and it is all meant to destroy our business and manufacturing sector.
Take his false claims to be the “green jobs” president. This is another industry that barely even exists technologically. The science and technical know how to create so-called “green jobs” barely exists. Yet Obama has dumped billions of our tax dollars down this rat hole pretending that he is “creating jobs.” But in reality, a recent report showed that Obama has spent $12 for every so-called “Green Job” he’s created. Heck, I’ll take that $12 million and pretend I have a “green job” all day long. How about you?
Anyway, this is simply a waste of tax dollars and yet another way for Obama to control our lives from D.C.
