"So Bill, are you saying that the government needs to be regulated by unions, because they aren't good at regulating themselves...maybe don't care about worker's lives?..nor follow laws of safety and working conditions?"

At the present time, government needs to be regulated by people who are doing their job, not being sabotaged by corporate interests such as oil companies. Bush saw to it that
the government regulators weren't able to do their jobs. Weakened regulations by corporate interests mean the lack of laws of safety and working conditions.

Rethuglicans want to destroy the laws for safety and working conditions so that their
political financiers can get what they pay for, bigger profits at worker's expense.
