DC has had leftist government for years, and the Dems controlled Congress for a couple decades. DC did not clean up their act then either. Has nothing to do with the FACT that it takes major money, and the right wing doesn't want the government to spend. Furthermore, it's too big of a project for DC to take on alone. ------------------------------------------------------------- then why did not the Democrat controlled Congress clean up DC during their 40 years of control? If you blame the right wing, then the left wing gets even more blame as they controlled both DC and Congress for a lot longer time. Because the fact is, they were cleaning up far worse places. ---------------------------- BS. If after 40 years they still didn't find time to address DC, it's time for a change... I guess you're too stupid or uninformed to know about what the EPA has been doing all of those years?? http://www.epa.gov/superfund/sites/npl/ |

DC has had leftist government for years, and the Dems controlled Congress for a couple decades. DC did not clean up their act then either. Two DC Council members have plead guilty or been found guilty for felonies, corruption, committed while in office this year. The currnet Mayor, Vincent Gray, is serving under a cloud of corruption. The residents of DC still wonder why the Congress doesn't let them have total control of their laws and finances. |
