“We don’t need to know what the regulations say”
Well, I will disagree with you there, driftdiver. If you debate a congressman and show ignorance of the regulations he’ll discount your argument.
A few years ago there were threads about some food safety bill, and the claim was that in the bill, Monsanto had put in provisions making it illegal to collect seed from this year’s crop to plant next year. So I called my rep and he laughed, and said, you got that off the internet, right? And it turned out that in all 400 or so pages, which I then read, there was no such provision. I wasted a bunch of time and congresscriter saw me as a loon.
If we are to end EPA we must be accurate with facts, just like we want “journalists” to do. And EPA must either end or become reasonable and science-based.
Congressman will ignore anyone who disagree with them, period.
But fine you go read the 13,000 pages of regulations and prepare for the quiz.
