Why isn't the headline: "Under President Bush, mining fatalities have been cut in half" -- which is buried inside the article.

Perhaps because Dubya hasn't actually done anything to improve mine safety.
Except, of course, to continue economic policies that shut down mines (such as outsourcing our steel industry).

So you have no problem with the title "Enforcement of mine safety seen slipping under Bush" and slant of this article?

Does it hurt to stick your head that far up your ass?

Didn't Bush impose a tariff on imported steel, to the chagrin of most of us? Does he get no credit for that or does all the steel go to evil Wal*Mart?

Guess you never took economics, marketing and accounting, or worked in the free enterprise market.

I don't think Bush did that. Last I checked, we don't have, and never did have any federalized steel companies in the U.S. Therefore, all business decisions pertaining to the steel industry were made by the companies in question and their stock holders.

But please, don't let facts interrupt your fantasies.

Gee, and all this time I thought our miners were mining coal and silver and the like. Who knew Bush killed the steel mining industry!
