“Ease regulatory pressure” LMAO!! Yes, certainly! Maybe the British Government will do that right after they lower taxes, make firearms legal, and Ban sharia... I wouldn’t hold my breath.
“Ease regulatory pressure”
I was reading on a thread awhile ago on how Germany, during the Depression, got on the road to recovery by utilizing natural resources. Of course it was other country’s resources that they acquired.
But the same goes for the U.S.
Open up those coal lands that Clinton fenced off as national preserves. Open up ANWAR, the coastal waters, etc. ALL sorts of natural resources waiting to be used.
Reduce the EPA requirements for some things. Obviously it does no good to have our rivers so polluted you can’t use them for anything but sewage dumps, but reducing the levels of benzene in waste water from 1 part per billion to 10 parts per billion (or whatever) for 10 years probably isn’t going to hurt the environment much, and may be a big boon to industry. (Obviously I have no idea on the actual numbers - but you get the gist of it).
Let the emissions levels for cars, coal plants, EVERYTHING slip back to some previous level, and mandate that it STAYS that way for 5 or 10 years.
Etcetrea, Etcetera. But true, these things probably won’t happen, and we, along with the rest of the world will slide into a depression that will make the previous one indeed look “Great”. Boy, remember during the Great Depression where people helped each other, you didn’t live in fear from roaming bands of thugs, looting soldiers or getting ratted out by your neighbor for having an extra pair of shoes and then sent off to the re-education camp? Boy - those times were GREAT!
