Just as I suspected, you can’t cite any environmental regulations that have caused economic harm, so you fall back on the same, old, tired ‘regulation is bad’ meme. Weak. [/quote]
Go to Louisiana and observe the impact of Obama’s off shore drilling ban.

The best you could come up with is a moratorium on offshore drilling put in place after BP destroyed the Gulf Coast and the economy that depends upon it? So you’d prefer that the greedy, evil oil companies just keep drilling and spilling without taking any time to figure out what happened? Only the most radical pollution-lover would want to keep drilling after the worst environmental disaster in the history of the planet without taking time to figure out what went wrong.
Further, the oil spill itself caused way more economic damage than the moratorium. The article I posted earlier in this thread said 25% of the nation’s small businesses were negatively impacted by the oil spill.
And no, I won’t be making any trips to the Gulf Coast any time soon. That place is going to be a March of Dimes in ten years and I don’t want to go anywhere near it. It’s basically America’s Chernobyl.
