I've not posted many Republi-CONisms lately, but this one is too good to pass up.
"Congress
has hamstrung the federal government, giving states the authority to
enforce drinking-water standards and all but eliminating the EPA’s power
to intervene. This is a pure expression of the conservative doctrine of
federalism: States handle things better than the feds because they are
closest to the people.
But then came the debacle in
Flint, when Michigan authorities embraced cost-saving changes in the
city’s water supply and caused mass lead poisoning. Now members of
Congress are blaming the EPA for failing to stop the problem — oblivious
to the irony that they and their predecessors were the ones who denied
the federal government the ability to enforce drinking-water standards
in the first place."
Read the Washington Post, The poisonous conservative thinking that caused the Flint crisis.
