Bush Blamed for Mine Accident


Well that didn't take long. Congressional Reps. George Miller (D-CA) and Major Owens (D-NY) are blaming President Bush for not doing enough to prevent West Virginia Mining Accidents:

The Committee should investigate whether the Bush Administration has employed people with proper regulatory experience in leadership positions at MSHA [Mine Safety and Health Administration]. Many senior MSHA officials have come directly from the mining industry, raising concerns about their ability to effectively oversee the industry and protect its workers...

A 2005 report by the AFL-CIO found that "at MSHA, 17 standards to improve safety and health for miners have been withdrawn since President Bush took office, including the Air Quality, Chemical Substances and Respiratory standards...For the most part at MSHA, those standards that have been proposed during the Bush Administration favor industry by moving to roll back existing protections. There are no pending standards to protect miners from hazards on their job...

That's right Bush had the nerve to stock the Mine Safety and Health Administration with people from the MINING INDUSTRY! The horror! What's next, packing NASA with rocket scientists?
