Bush’s Screwing of America
How nice of Nancy Nord to rebuff efforts by Congress to more adequately fund the Consumer Product Safety Commission. You remember Nancy Nord right? She’s the person who testified that her agency has one person testing children’s toys for safety in America. Her tone indicated that she found the matter humorous. She certainly doesn’t give an indication that she understands that this is a matter of life and death for children in our country. Apparently Ms. Nord believes that Congress would be better off sending our tax dollars to Halliburton so that they can build more concrete road blocks in Baghdad.
This is hardly the first time a federal agency has shown a complete disregard for the safety of Americans. The Mine Safety and Health Administration allowed Bob Murray to keep pumping coal out of the Crandall Canyon mine in Utah in spite of numerous safety violations and repeated warnings from the United Mine Workers of America. Mr. Murray received permission to engage in retreat mining, a questionable practice which unnecessarily endangers coal miners. The Crandall Canyon mine collapsed and permanently buried six miners last August. It’s no coincidence that Bob Murray is a major Republican Party contributor. Bob Murray belongs in jail, but that will never happen as long as GW is in charge.
There seems to be an endless list of instances where federal agencies administered by George Bush have failed to protect American citizens. Port security is a joke. The EPA has been gutted. Every federal agency in America has been packed with Bush cronies more interested in making the president look good than doing what’s right for the country. Even the Department of Justice has been filled with unqualified bozos intent on protecting corrupt Republicans. The world will be a much safer place when George Bush is no longer president.
