The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering a crackdown on farm dust, so senators have signed a letter addressing their concerns on the possible regulations.
The letter dated July 23 to the EPA states, “If approved, would establish the most stringent and unparalleled regulation of dust in our nation’s history.” It further states, “We respect efforts for a clean and healthy environment, but not at the expense of common sense. These identified levels will be extremely burdensome for farmers and livestock producers to attain. Whether its livestock kicking up dust, soybeans being combined on a dry day in the fall, or driving a car down the gravel road, dust is a naturally occurring event.”
The largest point-source of pollution in this country is Washington DC.
At some point in time, that source may have to be eliminated.

I can see November from my house.
But I can also see Republicans trying really hard to lose.
You can't blame them. What would they do if they won on our terms? They're way more scared of us than they are of their honored colleagues from the other side of the aisle.
As well they ought to be.
