When I was going over the testimony and what we have gone--you know, the Congress and where we are at today, it was only 8 years ago that we were trying to move to a cap-and-trade program, and we were moving to national healthcare under Obamacare. Done poorly, the results were politically a change in Congress.
What is troubling to me today is not that we are addressing the subject, but that we are not giving it the serious attention it deserves.
lead is a potent neurotoxin, exposure to which is known to cause serious educational deficits in children.
If you have to make these tough decisions, as you highlighted earlier, right, you have got to make decisions of hospitals, EMT, all this other stuff.
