quote:Did Rick Perry de-regulate the Federal Oversight of the plant? Stupid ass question with no meaning except to take up bandwith.Why would any adult with a three digit iq and a pulse ask such a asanine question? Rick perry while sucking korporate cock refused to institute the regulations necessary to have prevented this disaster. It has nothing to do with dhs why would you think it did? Don't you know that govornors do not tell the federal bureaucracy what to do?Where do you find that authority for govornors in the constitution? quote:
So, no answer to the question, then. Got it. My post is quite clear that govornors do not have the ability to deregulate federal oversight.Funny that you did not notice that,perhaps if you were to actually read my post before you respond your post would not seem so childish. My post also pointed out that it would be fatuous,asanine,and ignorant for any adult u.s. citizen to think such a thing and it questioned the validity of your post for even asking such a stupid question. Have I now disabused you of your ignorance? Actually, your post did nothing but spew hate and demonstrate your need of anger management skills. Instead of answering the question, you went off about how governor's don't have any Constitutional authority to tell the Federal government what to do. Now, you're criticizing me for not reading your posts, which isn't an accurate allegation anyway. You seem to enjoy being aggressive in your posts. Might want to actually try answering the questions next time. So, I'll answer it for you. No. Rick Perry did not strip the Federal government of oversight of this plant. Was there Federal oversight of this plant? I'm not exactly sure, honestly. There was no oversight by the DHS, but that is more about the plant not following the rules that were in place (so, that regulation was still there, just not followed). The EPA (Federal) had gone in in 2006 with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The US Dept of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Commission was there in 2011. There was still Federal oversight, and state oversight. Apparently, there were regulations in place. How did the fire start? Couldn't that have some impact on the responsibility of West Texas Fertilizer? That's not to say they weren't negligent, but they might not be the only one that bears responsibility. And, that Federal regulatory agencies still aren't talking to each other certainly doesn't seem to be of concern for most, either. I don't believe any Federal Agency bears any responsibility for the incident, but they do need to work the whole lack of communication thing out. If there was no signs of arson, IMO, West Texas Fertilizer would be the only entity that would bear responsibility for this. Having said all that, can you cite de-regulation that allowed West Texas Fertilizer to fly under the radar for 28 years?
