failed levees, dead pets, falling bridges, poisonous toys---had the consumer product safety commission not been gutted as a result of tax cuts for the rich, this would have been caught much sooner—one consumer advocacy group said that cpsc staff was down 59%—all the stupid cpsc director could whine was, but it wasn’t our biggest recall—
