But the new regulation goes much beyond repealing the Obama-era rule, unwinding the previous rules that have been in place to protect headwater streams and wetlands since the 1970s and ‘80s.

The Trump administration issued the rule despite concerns raised by EPA’s outside scientific advisers, who issued a draft report in late December that said the proposed version of the rule was “in conflict with established science … and the objectives of the Clean Water Act.”

The new rule lifts federal protections for roughly half of the country's wetlands, according to the agency's own internal estimates Environmental groups say this would surely accelerate the trend of lost wetlands at a time when the changing climate makes their benefits all the more important.

What could go wrong.

How about some housing for all those fuckin' homeless people (D)eez don't know what to do with???

Or keep being "progressive" and just let the human waste pile up in the streets while screeching autistically at white people.....for being white.

Polluted water and 2% more pig shit in commercial sausage products.
Truly, we are living in a glibertarian paradise.

Apparently the new saying is we should shit where we eat. Or drink.

33 counties in the US, accounts for 40% of our ENTIRE nation's GDP. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 33 ARE RUN BY DEMOCRATS.

Would you support a Constitutional Amendment that allows States to leave the Union?

I'd be curious to know how much of that 40% are actual, physical products, not bits and bytes that don't contribute to actual food on the table or a roof over heads.

Dude...the money they make...and spend...is the same money everyone uses. Try a different argument.

The problem is they have no products to purchase without the rest of the country, unless you want to start importing everything from foreign sources. I'd almost enjoy having those counties go,their own way and fend for them selves. Dude.

Interesting.... I'm sensing a notion of self sufficiency in that the GDP output (or some percentage of it) should be geared toward goods and infrastructure (roads, food, etc)? And that the GDP output gen'd by "bits and bytes" provides no national benefit other than income, which merely stimulates spending. Two different things, one is supply, the other demand... Our economy needs both.
