The headline reads "Clean Air Under Siege" and the article lists all kinds of ways Congress has and still are making sure air pollution continues unabated in the U.S. -- and, of course, the rest of the world given that air doesn't respect national borders.

The first thing that came to my mind, though, is that all the poor children and grandchildren these pols bleat about being saddled with the country's national debt won't even be able to afford gas masks needed to breathe, thanks to these same pols' efforts to ensure that the air will be so foul said children and grandchildren won't be able to breathe it.
I'm way too conservative about the health, safety and lives of this nation's children and grandchildren to think the current Congress's liberal policies that will continue and even escalate the fouling of air, water and the overall environment are a good idea. They certainly aren't in the best interests of The People -- the real, honest-to-god breathing, eating, voting people. Not the incorporated SCOTUS-created paper variety.
