    Deregulation seems to confuse many. It does not mean eliminating all regulations. I means ending the over-burdensome and often unneeded regulations, many of which were created due to lobbying efforts by large businesses who could afford compliance in order to eliminate their smaller competitors who could not afford it.

She was getting sick. She turned them in to the city and the EPA guess what they did? Nothing! That was when there still was an EPA. That was when there were regulations. An entire population of people made sick with no voice and no recourse. It is a shame. It might get a whole lot worse here.
    I went to law school with a woman whose entire family are lawyers. They have a family business and a big part of their practice is suing local industrial businesses to force them to clean up their practices (because locals were getting sick). They have been very successful.

What our administration does not realize or care about is that China was taking one for the team when it came to their environment. When we go balls out in manufacturing we are going to start seeing some of the same negative effects as china did with their industrial boom. They can't even see the skyline. They are forced to buy bottled air if they want a breath of fresh air. Their water is turned to poison, and we are following in their footsteps.

    Although it will seem that we are making America great again and bringing jobs back to our soil. We will also find that we are making America toxic. We will destroy our nation in the name of prosperity. In the meanwhile China is moving on and moving forward gearing towards green energy and fixing the damages they have done to their land. While we go backwards into the fossil fuel age. For now anyways.

    How is China moving forward without us? Who are they selling to now? We are their main market and Europe is second. Explain how that's moving forward.

    China is the biggest polluter in the world and is increasing pollution not decreasing it.

    A typical anti-American rant.

    Trump is raising taxes on American consumers while starting a trade war with some of our biggest trading partners.

    Obviously, Trump is a genius and can do no wrong.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.
