Obama was a regulation nut who wanted the Federal government to control almost everything and his waters of the USA rules were an example of that overreach. Thankfully the Trump administration has been busy rolling back those idiotic rules.

None of these Trump rollbacks will stand in the long run. Obama was looking forward to a better environment for the future, whereas Trump's only concern is right now. That statement that regulations kill jobs is not entirely accurate. In a lot of instances they create new jobs and spur innovation and new technology.

The government already regulates enough and it doesn’t need to regulate every goddamn ditch!! Hell when the government starts running everything things generally go to shit!!

@Trajan61 I wonder how fast you would cry for government intervention if your neighbor dumped anthrax into his ditch and let it flow into yours.

Or any other substance you don't want in your water

@Lucy_Fehr You are taking an extreme position that would be extremely unlikely to ever occur. Surely your not suggesting that the federal government should regulate ever ditch and mud puddle in America are you?

@Trajan61 Straw man dude. Enough of this fucking mud puddle nonsense; you look ridiculous

I chose anthrax because it is naturally occurring in soil. I would think a cattleman would be aware of that. But regardless here is another "extreme" example:

Your neighbor loses a lot of cows or pigs or other livestock- the cause may or may not be known. He may or may not have told anyone yet that his livestock died

Do you want the effluent draining into his ditch that drains into your ditch?

And since you have such a little stiffee over mud puddles let me assuage your worry by saying NO, i do not want mud puddles regulated.

K?

Try living near a watershed just see what kind of s*** winds up in it.

Instead of complaining about "govt overreach " .
Try explaining WHY the govt made the laws and then refute those reasons.

Your clueless president who is again pandering to his friends is rolling these protections back as they want it. No doubt he getting a kick back. It benefits all the dirty industries.. mining, oil/gas. It strips protections from the drinking water of more than 100 million Americans, wetlands, Great Lakes( American side)
This is not overreach. These protections prevent companies and individuals from polluting even the smallest tributaries, lakes, ponds and ground water. You need to wise up before we’re all drinking lead.

Clean drinking water is one thing but regulating every ditch in America is quite another!

@Trajan61 were do you think our drinking water comes from? Drainage in ditches picks up every single chemical left in there.. seeps into ground water. Everyone knows that. At some point you are going to have to use your brain. I believe you’ve replaced religion for that bulbous orange guy in the White House.

@Trajan61 where do those ditches drain to? And where do those areas drain to?

Or do you believe it all gets diluted before it reaches the humans?

That crap in your ditch does not just lay there, it seeps into groundwater, from there to wells, even the ocean...we could All live in Flint Michigan soon if regulations are not in force!
