Ok, so we're agreed that pollution controls are a good idea. We're agreed that the basic functioning of the EPA is a good one.
But instead of us citizens charging one government agency to do this specific job, you think it's going to work out better for us people to have to, as individuals, research and understand the issue enough to file lawsuits?
That a bunch of regular folks, most of whom probably don't have a lot of cash lying around to file lawsuits, people who just own homes and work somewhere and whose community is now being polluted.. rather than use the specific tool of a government enforcer, the burden's on each of them to go file a bunch of separate lawsuits?
And this outcome is better for them, and will lead to the same pollution restrictions they could get from the one agency doing its job?
I mean, that's what it sounds like you're saying, but it just still doesn't make sense.
