Republicans insist they aren't against clean air and clean water but there are too many regulations keeping air and water clean.
So how much dirty is "just enough"? How can you tell when you start crossing the red line into Flint water?
What what point do Republicans say, "Wait a minute, this water is too dirty to drink and this air is making my kids sick"?
Is this OK?
but not this?
Or is it somewhere in between?
Or maybe there isn't "too much".
Anyone?
I've talked about this subject with Republican friends and they also can't understand how many in their party seem to actually be against clean air and water. What living organism is in favor of drinking dirty water or breathing soot? And unfortunately the humans doing most of the polluting don't give a rats ass as long as they make money, so they have to be regulated and forced to comply. That is what government is for.
And it's pretty common that when you meet people that don't mind 'trash', when you go to their house it's a pig sty.
The fact you lead off with the false statement that "Republicans are against clean air and water" just shows what a fucking hack you are.
There is a difference between being against all regulations, and being against regulations whose purpose is to either ruin an industry or appease some scientifically ignorant crusader who sees more regulation as better regulation.
