How do you not become discouraged by stories like these: Bush Aides Rush to Enact a Rule Obama Opposes
Just one more heartless act by an administration that has been obsessed with corporate welfare and warmongering from pretty much day one.
This one: a rule that would "make it much harder for the government to regulate toxic substances and hazardous chemicals to which workers are exposed on the job."
This just one of nearly two dozen rules that seek to help companies avoid responsibility for people, animals, the environment, you name it. A couple more examples:
One rule would make it easier to build power plants near national parks and wilderness areas. Another would reduce the role of federal wildlife scientists in deciding whether dams, highways and other projects pose a threat to endangered species.
Sign and double sigh.
