The White House is working to enact a wide array of federal regulations, many of which would weaken government rules aimed at protecting consumers and the environment, before President Bush leaves office in January.
The new rules would be among the most controversial deregulatory steps of the Bush era and could be difficult for his successor to undo. Some would ease or lift constraints on private industry, including power plants, mines and farms.
Those and other regulations would help clear obstacles to some commercial ocean-fishing activities, ease controls on emissions of pollutants that contribute to global warming, relax drinking-water standards and lift a key restriction on mountaintop coal mining.
So basically, screw the economy, screw the environment, and screw the entire country. It's like watching the soon to be defeated cartoon villain twirling his mustache while saying "if I can't have it then NO ONE CAN! MUAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Ok, if you voted for this jackass in 2000 or 2004 please punch yourself in the crotch until you're incapable of breeding. You're obviously to dumb to pass your genes on.
