The Toxic Tinhorn to taxpayers: "tough tamales!"

The Bush misadministration has cut the funds necessary to clean up 33 toxic waste sites in 18 states under the Superfund cleanup program, according to a new report to Congress by the inspector general of the EPA, The NY Times reported today.

The cuts will mean work will come to a halt at some of the most contaminated grounds in the country - sites that pose a level of health and environmental hazards to their communities.

The administration wants to reduce the payments from the fund by covering fewer sites. To do that it would shift the costs of further work to the taxpayers. Congressional critics have said this amounts to abandoning the precept that "the polluter pays," on which the Superfund program was founded. Again, the report makes clear that under the administration's approach the costs of cleaning up these sites would eventually shift to all taxpayers, and that in the meantime the whole program would be slowed down.

We taxpayers, especially here in NJ, will show our thanks in November, you drooling sockpuppet.
