Presidential power play

The Issue: A court’s decision to uphold EPA regulations that effectively ban new coal-fueled power plants.

It’s true that stripping power from the EPA — along with repealing ObamaCare — will help the economy to recover (“Smothering the Economy,” Editorial, July 1).

But the economy will be jump-started as soon as President Obama loses the election in November.

Businesses are waiting for Obama to leave office so that his regulations can’t harm them anymore.

Just look at the tepid hiring numbers following the Supreme Court’s decision to let ObamaCare go forward.

Businesses are still hoping that Mitt Romney will come in on a white horse and strike it down.

Here’s hoping they are right. Charlie Honadel

In the middle of a record-setting heat wave and with the MTA worrying about rising sea levels affecting the subway system, The Post is urging the government to let more coal-fueled power plants open up shop.

You say the EPA regulations kill jobs.

Well, when sea levels keep rising thanks to global warming, there will be lots of jobs building seawalls so the subways don’t get flooded.

How about that?
