Wasn't the extremely low EPA restriction on arsenic one of BJ Clinton's 11th hour gifts?

IIRC, yes.

Yes, Clinton reduced the permitted level of arsenic just before leaving office (but I think it wouldn't take effect for a while). Bush initially reversed it but I think eventually went along with the new rules...but meanwhile allowed the 'Rats to bombard the public with the message that he didn't care if America's kids were poisoned with arsenic.

The Fox News website has a link to a video from Shepard Smith's program on Wed., where he discusses the story with a doctor, who quotes the price of $3500 for the kind of water purifier you'd need for your house to be safe.
