Trump wants to cut federal regulations below the 1960 level. Here is what that would look like.




So he's all in for bringing back lead into paint, he's all in for having poverty increase, he's all in for water and land pollution, he's all in to be a fucking TRAITOR

This twit doesn't realize that the tax rate in the 1960's for all of the regulations that were not there was 70%

3. My fear is that the fallout from all the cuts to these regulations is that the full impact of them

on the American public will not be felt until after Trump is out of office and people may not realize that he and his administration are responsible for the shit-show that is about to come. There is always a lag for things like this.

area.

That's what made America great pre-1960. Poisons in the air, the water, the earth.

I remember driving to Los Angeles in the late 1960s. I wore contact lenses, and when we drove into Long Beach, my eyes watered. What a miserable weekend that was.

I suppose if you live out in the country, the lack of environmental regulation will be great. Just dump your whatever wherever. No one can say anything.

Seriously, most regulations are local -- zoning, noise, etc. But if the neighboring locality, that is the locality next to yours, allows farms to dump their manure on the outskirts of their town, your beautiful golf course or backyard or schoolyard or church may find itself in the equivalent of a pig stye. Good luck.

Making America Great Again or should I say Making America Dangerous Again.
