Bush Administration continues to wage war against regulatory protections

The latest news on one of our president's less trumpeted campaigns, against American citizens, is documented in this Los Angeles Times article.

As Democratic Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky from Illinois notes: "It appears that there may have been an administration-wide directive for agencies to limit corporate liability through the rule-making process and without the consent of Congress."

The article goes on to note the "revolving door" between industry lobbyists/participants and the Bush Administration. as well as the efforts of our president to provide industries such as automobile manufacturers, banks and drug makers with an "unprecedented degree of protection at the expense of an individual's right to sue and a state's right to regulate."

Until Congress actually begins to take their oversight responsibilities seriously again, Bush's war against the American consumer will continue.
