I am not a left wing nut. I am rather sane. Why do you question the sanity rather than the impact of legislation. I would say that the definition of insane is known to be to try the same thing over again and expect a different result. By definition doesn't that mean that its far more sane to abandon failed Bush policies on the environment. I'd say that the recent coal ash spills should be a reminder of just how costly laxity has been.

When the government closes "public lands" they closed them to all forms of recreation, access and development. Maybe you like staying in the city and sitting in front of your glowing tube all day, but some of us like to be able to actually use out public lands. And you know Bonnie, it's darn hard to use those lands when all the access roads have been closed with a locked gate.
You really haven't a clue....

You’re a left wing nut. These lands need to be used for the benefit of the American people. You complain about the lack of fuel or gas prices. You complain about the economy and jobs. You complain about everything YOU don't like, and that is all you do is complain.
These regulations that you so gladly want have unintended consciences, higher gas prices, lower employment, and less opportunity for Americans.
How about you stop writing and try running a profitable business, so you can see the barriers that the government is putting in place.
Oh, I know you want the rest of the country to be like California - $40 billion in debt because they have run businesses,and tax dollars, out of the state and they are in the process of running more across the border. Great model.
