It has been a lonely few months for those of us who believe government ought to help protect the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat, and products we buy. Opponents of regulation, especially in Congress, have been accusing regulations of being “job-killers” and creating uncertainty (though they never explain how). It can sometimes feel as though we’re outnumbered, outflanked, and outgunned. While the latter two may remain true, the first is certainly not. Two new polls prove that the vast majority of Americans support common sense health and safety standards.
