Clean water act

I don't agree with the Cato Institute on everything, but in the past, they have acknowledged when their positions did not align with the data and were entirely based on libertarian principle. I can respect that honesty. I also often agree with them.

 

I recommend listening to Charles Koch's lengthy sit down on the Tim Ferris podcast. I learned some things. Other people might too.

 

Can you give a specific example or two that we can go to and read about?

 

Standing on the principle of rolling back legislation that didn’t take the prescribed course regardless of its merit.

 

Here’s an interesting article in popular mechanics that talks about from both sides

Aye I’m gaining some perspective for sure. There’s a few good examples and I can honestly say I learned some shit.

 

putting paper in place that don’t need to be there. But done so to take power away from the States in order to give the illusion that you’re “doing something”

hows that?

 

I have a very small creek that runs through my property. After a flood a few years ago the creek was completely blocked and was causing water to run over the road damaging what passes for pavement in our neck of the woods. Anyways, I got down there with my tractor and started to clean the mess up so the creek could flow in its channel. I was stopped from working on it and threatened with a substantial fine. After the c*nt left I finished the work. The truly funny thing is I was told I could do the work but only if I did it by hand with hand tools. What kind of f*cking sense does that make? Yeah, just let the road wash away and someone crash into the ditch....

 

So what is enough regulation? I love how people that support over regulation say you hate clean water, it is like you hate children/old people/etc. IMO a ton of Obma era regulations went way to far. A perfect example was the lead one that almost stopped importing motorcycles for kids (thankfully repealed prior to implementation) On the water front have you noticed the half a billion watershed signs that went up everywhere? Federal over reach at its best.

 

If you're earnestly interested, you can go to the Federal Register, it's reasonably easy to navigate. While a lot of lobbying of course happens behind closed doors and at dinner parties, they generally have to publicly post their public rationales on the register.

 

OH, it's OMB. TDS.

 

Where's the pressure on China and other Asian countries to put their laws in place to protect THEIR clean waterways?

We are less than a third of their population, ya think they might just product a shit ton of (pun intended) of just Human waste daily?
Not to mention all their military and industrial waste. Think they give a shit about polluting a neighboring stream? Think again.

 

Another one that wants me to research his argument. No.
If you have nothing specific then you have nothing period.

 

You may be confused, I am not arguing nor asking you to research anything.

 

I asked you for an example or two, not to be sent to a huge body of information.
