"Wouldn't it be nice if just once, on some issue, the Bush administration came up with a plan that didn't involve weakened environmental protection, financial breaks for wealthy individuals and corporations and reduced public oversight?"

Bush recently announced plan to prevent forest fires is to blame the environmentalists for starting them and give government subsidies to corporations to cut the underbrush while also letting them cut more mature trees. This would be run the US Forest Service which is effectively run by the logging industry while pretending to be a government bureau. NY Times.
