1. Why would a Republican (Tea Party) want to disband the EPA?
A: She'll say because it's BIG GOVERNMENT and the states should regulate their own environments and corporations that do business in their states.
2. What's wrong with that response?
A: States don't always have the interest of their citizens, let alone the environment or land, at heart. Especially when it comes to bringing in the all mighty dollar. And big business does just that. And if they can come into a state with no Federal shackles (EPA, anyone?), and make deals with the state, then guess what? That's what will happen. And when that happens, pollution will return full force to the states that have managed to clean up and uphold high EPA standards and even higher State standards, and worsen in those states who've managed to ignore or find loopholes in EPA regulations. What's breathable air and beautiful, safe lakes, rivers and ponds when you can line your pockets in the green stuff?
So the EPA and other Federal regulatory agencies will go the way of the do-do bird if 2012 sees a Republican (especially MB) voted into the Presidency. And the questions and answers will run approximately the same.
Are you starting to understand what small government really means to Republicans versus big government to the Democrats? One protects and one gives free rein to the states. I'm sure you can guess which does what, right? RIGHT?
