I know you're already tired of me discussing politics, but what's bothering me is how bad America is getting. It's normal for our country to go through dark times (like the Civil War or the Great Depression), but it sure got worse ever since Obama taken over. I'm not going to discuss racial relations and economic issues this time, but there is another highlight to share. As our government is getting more corrupt, some agencies have passed so many regulations that they are going against their own purpose.
The highlight is the California drought in the past two to three years. The high air pressure is one thing, but the EPA has been involved in some of it.
Here's the story of what possibly started the drought. So they would save a fish, but they basically destroyed California's environment because of the drought. Yes, absence of rain can occur, but it wouldn't be as bad if regulations weren't causing us to get rid of that water. As I read many stories about the effects of the drought, I can tell that the drought is getting worse. Prices of food are going up, wildfires are growing, heat waves are becoming more intense (even in the winter), and more negative effects. At least the EPA isn't responsible for the lack of snowpacks. That could be related to something else, but I don't know what's causing that.
Another good example of the EPA actually not saving the environment was that they passed regulations that prevented an oil spill from being cleaned up. If you care about the environment, you should actually help clean the pollution, not block people from cleaning. I just lost respect in the EPA.
Issues like the environment, economy, and domestic policy, have always been problems even before Bush took office. Since Obama taken office, the government tried to pass so many solutions, but those solutions actually made problems even worse, not better. Not only more regulations mean less freedom, but they don't seem to work at all.
Even I care about the environment. And I hope the California drought ends (even if I live in Texas).
