Productivity and profits are not interchangeable. 

There is no fraud in the EPA ruling about the mine in Alaska. This is ridiculous. Hate speech exists surrounding the EPA because the possibility for Wall Street profits at the expense of the country's interest in clean air and water in Alaska. 

I WROTE A PAPER TO THE EPA and so did many of my peers regarding the mine in Alaska. The EPA calls for public comment. It is not simply handing down a verdict like a judge. The EPA accepts public comment and includes it in it's decisions. The EPA decision making is very, very democratic. The mine owners had every chance to enter public comment as well. LIES don't work when FACTS are imperative to such decisions. The political wrangling around it is completely false. It is political rhetoric and carries no brevity today, in the past or in the future. Politics needs to be based in fact to understand the function of a democratic government. Parties that don't want truth and facts in their politics cause the the country  to end up with corruption.
