Worker Safety Regulations Dramatically Loosened Under Bush Admin.

News:
Under the Bush administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued the fewest significant standards in its history, public health experts say, a trend they credit to the administration’s habit – by now familiar – of appointing former industry officials and lobbyists to regulatory posts. Since Bush took office, OSHA has imposed only one major safety rule, while the only significant health standard it issued was ordered by a federal court. At the same time, the agency has killed dozens of existing and proposed regulations and delayed adopting others.

Name one thing that HASN'T been loosened by Chimpy & Co.

If it means cutting into his base of haves and have-mores profit margins ...

Considering how he and his have loosened environmental regulations; the reduction in fines levied against companies who do not comply with OSHA; reduction in fines levied against those companies caught hiring illegal aliens, etc., etc., etc., is this really surprising?

"Too many good doctors are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country." George "Chimpy" Bush, Sept. 6, 2004, Poplar Bluff, Mo.
