I've Got The Deregulation Blues

Apparently, the Mining Industry went all out to get Bush into the White House and cool the power of the Mine Health and Safety Administration. This prescient Washington Monthly article shows exactly how these changes took effect. It's the same pattern; gut the regulations while maintaining the fiction that you are still doing your job. No one will notice the details, right? Oh, and if one of the old hands blows the whistle on you, fire them.

Every time this happens, every time the corruption and incompetence claims another life, let us all say together now,
Remember New Orleans!
