Another switch of topic...lots of stuff happening.. As you might have already guessed: From the Nando Times. nandotimes.com Politics: Toxic waste cleanup funds dwindling, report warns By H. JOSEF HEBERT, Associated Press WASHINGTON (July 10, 2001 10:12 a.m. EDT) - Government expenses for cleaning up toxic waste sites are expected to far exceed money available in a special fund, a report to Congress warned........ Congress rescinded the special Superfund tax after 1995, causing fund surpluses to be gradually depleted. The tax poured about $1.3 billion a year into the fund prior to 1996. "The central question now facing Congress is whether there is enough money in the Superfund to continue to pay for the program," the report said. Tax opponents have argued that the tax is not needed because spending on the Superfund program would quickly decline as work is completed at most of waste sites..... Question of the day: Will the Administration/Congress decide to fund the toxic waste cleanup [further decreasing the surplus] or will they decide to just blow it off and leave the toxic waste there? Extra Credit: Whatever they do, predict the spin. jttmab
