There is a certain large percentage of the population who vote in people who actively want to eliminate all oversight/regulations. How do you do that? Make the regulators look like they're not doing their jobs and say, "See? We just need to get rid of it all! They're wasting YOUR tax dollars!"

We have a process for banning chemicals. It requires a cost/benefit analysis, which the EPA did not do here.
