Morning Glory: Trump can unleash a housing boom by ending the 'endangered species' scam

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : But the bureaucrats at FWS, EPA and the Corps of Engineers won't want such elegant simplicity.
53% : The ESA and its intersection with the Clean Water Act and the three Cabinet agencies above -- Interior, EPA and DOD -- provided most of my work in private law practice from 1989 when I left the federal government until I retired from my California firm in 2016 to move back to Virginia.
7% : The endangered species scam -- and it is a scam, full of fake science and fake studies and fake experts competing with the real versions of each -- needs to be blown up and rebuilt, and when Secretaries Doug Burgum and Pete Hegseth and Administrator Lee Zeldin are confirmed to their jobs at Interior, Defense and EPA respectively, they can fix this tangle of bureaucracies in a day or two of focused briefings, followed by clear, specific directions to approve or deny every application for a consultation or a permit within 30 days, and to prepare within 90 days a nationwide Section 10a permit for all species not specifically exempted (there are some genuinely endangered species) and make it available to every landowner as the rule and not the exception, and make it a simple money contribution to the Service for use in acquiring land it wants for the purpose of species protection.
