WTF do no good republicans in congress do on a daily basis? Think up evil shit!

Putting short-term profit ahead of long-term economic sustainability. All in the name of auctioning off natural resources of future generations for short-term gain. Why, because Environmentalists; any republicans' natural enemy.

Dean Heller (R-NV) wants to rewrite the Endangered Species Act to ban any new listings without specific approval from Congress and governors of the states where the fish or wildlife live.

The measure he and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul reintroduced in the Senate this week also would automatically remove a species from the protected list after five years unless Congress voted to keep it there.

Heller says the dramatic changes are needed because environmentalists increasingly use the act as a tool to block development of public and private lands at the expense of jobs and economic growth. -KTNV Las Vegas


Example? Anaconda copper mine, Yerington, NV, once a source of jobs. Today an EPA superfund environmental disaster for everything from destroyed aquifers, to what to do with a giant hole in the ground and mountains of till.
