The fruit of "Voluntary Compliance".
One wonders, what other disasters are waiting because of the failed policy of "Voluntary Compliance"?
Would you accept "Voluntary Compliance" on the nations highways? Waterways?
One more Repubicain mess we will have to clean up.
Dumb shit. Taking a true tragedy and trying to politicize it.
Negged.
I live in WV, a state that owes much to coal, both in dollars and lives. In our state, coal has a long history of abstentee owners, of short cuts on safety, of good paying jobs in an area with few opportunities. It also has a legacy of hard fought for rights, safety, pensions and medical benefits that can disappear when the coal company reorganizes under bankruptcy,
One thing the Bush administration did was to make it easier on the coal companies to avoid compliance with safety regulations if it was deened to be too costly. This - for better or worse was an administration sympathetic to corporate America.
Maybe he is politicizing a tragedy.
Maybe there is a kernal of truth here too.
