I want to divert the last thread with another question.
Why don't we let the country and tax payers more aggressively clean up this mess, coupled with the aid from said original polluter?
The budgets for said clean up are IMMENSE. And the money the company saves could go to expanding and making more private jobs.
If we were to focus this % of our budget toward such important matters I would hope it would divert federal $$ away from useless funding of useless studies. Heres a few examples of said useless studies and spending
We paid $300,000 to a study of why Peruvian homosexual men tend to get more "frisky" after a # of beers....
The worlds largest water park was planned to be built with 100% USA taxpayer money... IN MEXICO. Unfortunately the 1 MILLION dollar parking lot was already built before the GOP shut it down... Now a million dollar parking lot is burning in the hot Mexican sun as I type this.
Both were just small examples of wasteful spending.
We should divert these resources to more important matters.
-Like cleaning up the hudson, the largest river on the east coast.
-Stopping those leaping carp from invading any other watershed.
- Stopping ANY invasive
Those numbers ($300,000 and $1,000,000) alone would help us restore any watershed. Piecing together waterways that we seriously screwed up.
But instead we spend the $$ on useless bullshit like bail outs, extending unemployment to people who are never going to get a job again, idiotic studies and projects..

^ you don't need to read it all to get a grasp on everything we're doing wrong with our $$$.
I want to add that we shouldn't make the companies foot the bill for the entire thing when the argument stops at "it was a different time, we didn't know. Nobody knew that what we did would be this bad".
The polluters should then ask for help from the American people and we should realize that money is going to things that aren't as important as this..
Hell you could even get a grass roots effort among entire watersheds that bring people to said river to help then and MAYBE even help them train in using heavy machinery or ANY task that may help them to get a job for themselves.
