So we're moving towards a consensus that the federal government is not sufficiently draconian in it's environmental regulation of private industry?
I'm moving toward the consensus that no matter what; Finance, Energy, Education, Defense, the Federal Regulators will fuck up regardless of the size of their budget.
Then you would logically support simply banning offshore drilling on the grounds that it is simply impossible to regulate them in a manner that would assure their safety.
Then you would logically support reducing all funding for all Federal Regulators.
Deal!!
