I am sure that you think that it perfectly ok for the elderly to be stuck in their homes because of smog alerts, or the people with chronic lung diseases to suffer the effects of air pollution. Perhaps you like the idea of a child with chronic asthma to NOT be able to enjoy a day in the park because the smog is so bad?

The last bunch of administrations have done wonders for the environment. The air is much cleaner now because there is no fucking industry. Happy now ? Now you can breathe as you go begging in the streets.

Yes and we all know that protecting American businesses is far more important than protecting public health.

I'm sure every person alive values having some clean air to breathe too. Want clean water?? One of my mother's several husbands was a part time commercial fisherman, in the mid70s he lost that job because the fishing industry on Lake Erie went bust due to how badly polluted the lake was. One of Clinton's major accomplishments was to clean up the Great Lakes and the fishing industry on Lake Erie has been making a slow but steady come back these past years.

The US Chamber of Commerce has applauded Obama's decision.
At the same time, Obama has claimed his decision was based upon the regulations due to come online in 2013--he is avoiding the cost of instituting new rules at this time and waiting for the implementation of even tougher rules later (or so he claims).

And actually regulations should be good for business because tough regulations mean fewer people calling in sick after breathing the smog-filled air. Fewer people calling in sick keeps health care costs down, increases productivity and lowers the cost of hiring temporary workers.

Once again, the majority of the country are looking at the short terms of 'business as usual' rather than looking at the long term gains the changes would have caused.
