266. Thanks. What of the changes Bush made? I don't consider them just, or environmental.

And a policy cannot be enforced if it is not funded.

I hold that a policy or an EO has no bearing in reality and will never meet the lofty goals stated in the piece quoted, if there is not enough money to hire staff to enforce regulations.

They become without effect, and the government under Bush was hallowed out nationally. Not just with environmental rules in the CFRs.

I saw what he did in Texas prior to the presidency and the same tactic was used there to hide what he had done and prevent debate. The facade of the agencies were there. But when people went expecting help, even if they qualified or their case was valid and met legal definitions, they had no money.

Are you saying environmental justice since Bush has made a difference and that polluters are being regulated after he made that voluntary?

After he changed other rules?

I understand you did the paper work for legal purpose, and may have helped a company who had best intentions to meet the goals suggested. But you may not have lived with the lack of regulation due to not funding enforcement powers.

I appreciate your answer and would appreciate more.
