And she knows what about the Army Corps of Engineers. Goes back to experience doesn’t it? But then again you don’t need experience to be in Washington these days.

And she knows what about the Army Corps of Engineers.

A political appointment to stop all new building development. The Corp has a lot to say about what is a wetland and how or if land can be developed. She will make sure virtually nothing gets developed.

So they are putting an enviro-whacko over the ACE, which has jurisdiction over a massive amount of our waterways...

I love the fact that they think it is a resume enhancer to create environmental policy through the tax code.

I for one have to say that I think it’s a great idea to prop up unsustainable business practices and punish profitable and desirable businesses using our tax code, don’t you? [/sarc]

Q1:
Miss Darcy, tell us your plans to maintain, sustain, and expand the vast American network of hydroelectric dams?

She isnt there to oversee anything, she is there to cancel anything that comes through that doesn’t match the Dictator’s green agenda.

And the Republican Party response was to accuse the Obama Administration of hiring people into positions of power for which they are not qualified to hold which will result in further harm to the nation’s well being.

Just like all of Barry ZER-O’s other appointees.
