IHouse Republicans approved legislation Friday that would slash nearly 40 percent of the budget for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The funding bill, passed by a 213-203 vote, cuts 39 percent of the EPA’s budget and would be the smallest budget the agency has had in three decades. Republican Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.) and Marc Molinaro (N.Y.) voted against the bill, while Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) was recorded as voting for it.
Uncontrolled capitalism is going to kill us all. But at least the share holders will be pleased along the way.
I think about that same sentiment from this comic too often.
This isn’t capitalism, it’s anti-government and anti-governance.
With capitalism as the primary mover.
It’s cheaper for manufacturing if they don’t want to worry about toxic waste products. The desire for more profit is behind this.
I think it is more too much centralization and a lack of governance which is even bad for capitalism as runaway capitalism sucks all the oxygen out of the air to everyone’s ultimate detriment even the billionaires.
