The worst possible thing about slashing the EPA is the so called "brownfield sites" that won't get cleaned up. Conservatives talk a lot about "unintended consequences" and "personal responsibility" yet they don't seem to understand the real world externalities left in the wake of corporate pollution that the tax payer is left holding the bag for. If only we had stronger regulation to force companies to pay to clean up their own messes, oops I forgot, that's horrible regulation in the way of the free market.


We also seem to have a ticking time bomb in the way of lead in our drinking water. There's literally hundreds of cities that are even worse than flint that won't be cleaned up. How many more generations of violent brain damaged children are we going to tolerate?
