"You think CO2 is a pollutant?"

Of course not. That's why I said the EPA is out of control. And why I said their authority wasn't adequately defined. And why I said there should be a watchdog organization making sure the EPA doesn't abuse their power.

I just don't think we should throw the baby out with the wash. I think there is an important and necessary role for an EPA like organization. Saying abolish the EPA is like saying abolish all domestic police forces because we regularly find abusive cops.

Fix the EPA, curb their abuses, make them justify their actions, have a watchdog to look out for the rights of the little guy.

There is no causal evidence yet on this pesticide. GIven the history of panicked responses to pesticides like DDT, alar, etc, I’m skeptical of any ban proposal without some real evidence.

>>It’s time to defund that ‘70s relic. All ‘70s relics, in fact.<<

The subject of this video is a good relic to reverse:

It is downright criminal. Literally.

This was quite probably to encourage growers to look at third world countries for farming operations. It has worked!

The answer probably has something to do with the American affinity for corn products.

Specifically, high-fructose corn syrup, which is in damned near everything. I saw one of those liquid coffee creamer products recently, its bottle emblazoned with a "Sweetened with Splenda!" label. First in the list of ingredients: corn syrup.

No, they have a purpose. To slow down American industry so the third world countries can boost their economies so we can get on with this one world government that everyone is so anxious to have. And it’s working too. Have you noticed since the free trade agreements took our manufacturing out of America that our food seems to be coming from the third world countries? The new dues for the UN are going to increase to 1.5% of our GDP if they get their way.

I knew one bee keeper than moved his hives from orchard to orchard and sold the honey at the flea market. He quit when the government quit the subsidy, it was a losing proposition with out the subsidy....and a lot of work besides... I'll bet a lot of other small bee keepers did the same thing....

So the solution then is to jack up enormous tariffs and watch as your industry collapses anyways.

Free trade isn’t the problem. Government spending is the problem.

I don’t have time to discuss it this evening but the FED was the boot source of the problem.
