WATERWAYS SHOULD BE LOCAL CONTROL
By: Derek Varsalona
Who supports the Dirty Air and dirty water campaign? Maybe it is the Republicans. President Biden is trying to push for cleaner air and cleaner waterways. But should this really be the federal government's responsibility? I personally believe the issues of clean air and clean water should be the work of the local government, not the federal government. I believe that the federal government with their over regulations is going to muddy the waters even more than they are doing right now.
President Biden believes that everyone should have access to clean air and clean water. But if the federal government is involved in the process then President Biden is going to want some payback in return. That bribe is going to be met with a potential vote in his favor. Over 100 localities have pledged to have fresh water. That is a good thing. Now, the localities should figure out how to aquifer the water systems without the federal government's help. I personally believe that with the federal government involved they are just going to muddy the waters both figuratively and realistically. The best way to get fresh water is to turn the responsibility over to the local governments and have local government control of the waterways.
Many tribes lack access to clean drinking water. Well, you see there is a price that has to be paid when you are on your own. The local tribes want to be free of the federal government. Now, they cry when they do not have fresh drinking water. The fact of the matter is that they can not have it both ways first cry wolf in the eye of the federal government and want to be an autonomous tribe free of government control then cry we need help when things do not go right. The fact of the matter is the tribes are going to be in more trouble if the federal government is involved since the federal government ruins everything it touches.
President Biden also has a conflict with the Supreme Court. He attacked the Supreme Court for stopping federal protections of the wetlands. Maybe the Supreme Court was trying to protect the wetlands from a federal government that was going to poison the waterways in the first place? As always comments accepted.
