I’m cheesing off people on Facebook with the statement of, “The EPA caused this spill with your tax dollars. If they issue themselves a fine (*chuckle*), they’ll PAY it with your tax dollars, too. Tired of Big Government yet?””

It’ll be interesting when this spill is used as a reason for more regulation.

The EPA needs to take responsibility for this. That said, it doesn’t seem to me to be the great catastrophe it’s being set up as.

How do you keep the deer, elk and other wild animals from drinking the water along a 75 mile stretch of river?

These are the same EPA morons that insisted on digging and dredging the Hudson river sediment to roil up the PCBs that had since become completely covered with sediment thus dropping PCB levels to practically nothing.

Now they have stirred it all up again.
