It's what the American public voted for or, from the other perspective, it's what we have done to ourselves. It should come as no surprise to anyone that this administration will do anything and go to any lengths to eliminate any regulatory agency rule or amend any statute to accommodate industry and permit the industry affected to re-write the policy; eg: the energy group.

The move to eliminate EPA regulations is another example of strategically cunning campaign consultants successfully educating political candidates in the methodology of convincing the eletorate to vote against their own enlightened self-interests. I'm neither a tree hugger nor a enviro-nut, but I recognize bad public policy that is pay back to the big dollar guys who bought themselves an administration when I see it. And attempting to rationalize raw political pay back with some non-existant cloak is sophormoric and transparent. I would have a lot more respect for an administration that simply says: ''We won and we get to give our big dollar supporters something they want that will be really good for their bottom line and shareholders.'' Trying to cover it like a cat in his litter box taints the act with the same smell the litter box emits.

I would have more respect for you if there was some acknowledgement that all these decisions are trade-offs and that our environment is cleaner now than it has been in decades.

Making everything a crisis and a conspiracy is a hallmark of those advancing tolitarianism.
