the way he has been handling the regulation, and sort of the deregulation, and trying to work in terms of the pollution laws and the climate change legislation or rules. so they want to see him stay there, and so i don t think that donald trump is in a huge amount of trouble with the base the longer he lets him stay there. and this is also something that you don t see just uniquely to pruitt. obviously, tom price who is the secretary of health and human service services shows there is no limit to this. but you have pruitt, and ben carson and others under fire for the spending. that is because the bureaucracy does not love the secretaries, because they are declaring war on the bur xeaucracies to cut i back, and a lot of the leaking is coming from the bureaucracies saying they are spending x-money on this or y-money on that. and so it is egregious that the base says that is not good for
ana, the reason these charges about raising pollution and creating more asthma attacks isn t resonating with the public is because it s totally false. the air continues to get cleaner. the water continues to get cleaner. we have laws in place which scott pruitt has said we need to get back to basics and actually concentrate on the pollution laws and not a lot of stuff that is politically correct. so the fact is, of course, there are other people who can do it. but once you have taken out this is the first person who has tried to reform, scott pruitt is the first person who has tried to reform the epa since early in the reagan administration. this isn t a reform. this is if he is taken out, it s going to be very hard in the current political situation to get someone anywhere near as good and as committed to the president s agenda as scott pruitt is. all politics.
policy. it means all the stuff we rooted for for the last 40, 350 years, the clean air and water act, are being termited to death, being killed by administrator who s want the government to fail in its mission. your thoughts? exactly. and chris, there s no free lunch. if you re not going to enforce pollution laws, you re going to have more people get cancer, children develop asthma, more people with heart disease. if you re going to stop making sure that we do the best we can or at least try to reduce worker deaths, 4800 a year in recent years, and withdraw the data, more workers are going to die and more marginal employers are going to pay less respect to safety practices. plenty of places i would be thoroughly in favor of redoing or simplifying regulations but that s not what they re doing. they re putting the people from the industries that are affected in charge and letting them
been a senator from iowa that s opposed the farm bill before. that, to me, is the most extreme of them all, john. how do you come from iowa, and o potion the farm bill? that s like running for mayor of amsterdam opposing weed. and she wants to dismantle the epa and thinks pollution laws should be voluntary. that makes no sense. not to disparage her service in iraq, she s another one saying she before we invaded. overall plot was to get killed. again, i enjoy all of her imagery aboimage ry kass trags of pigs but at the end of the day this lady is all squeal and no bacon. what s her appeal to women if she drives a harley which a lot of women don t and she fires a hand gup in a commercial which a lot of women don t do that either. what s the appeal here? there s no appeal. you re seeing same old same old.
business. you don t have pollution laws that cover a certain am of employees. it would be difficult. the law is the threshold. it s not the amount of people you employ. it s an encourage. to go to part time workers and fire people. they will phase it over time. companies aren t going to willingly earn money. they picked a bad way to separate small businesses from businesses that can afford it potentially. gary b., will this hurt the bottom line of many businesses? how can it be? even if it affected one business that say, oh my gosh, we really need to lay these people off. but because the obamacare costs are too high. now we can t. you know, my fear, though, is even more so. if the government through the irs can enforce stuff like this, where do they stop? are they going to say, oh, good, it s better for our country or health care for businesses not
