Don't worry. The Magic Of The Free Market will protect your children from future e coli outbreaks.

Just kidding. We'll probably get more e coli outbreaks after this, but those big factory farms will enjoy bigger profits now that they don't have to follow those pesky, nasty regulations anymore. Who cares if people get sick? It will just be dirty commoners who get ill from this, and nobody cares about those dirty commoners in the middle or lower classes. The people who actually matter will make more money, and isn't that what is important?
 
Water is kinda an important thing.

It is amazing how mindlessly humans are polluting all of it.

Keeping it as clean as possible should be a huge priority for any organized government.

Unless of course that government is controlled by the corporate mentality (The Borg).
 
Meanwhile in a tale of The Fault of the False Equivalency where the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans...
 
1) The Clean Water Act has nothing to do with e-coli outbreaks.

2) If it did then the Republicans likely did the right thing as obviously the current rule wasn't doing it's job!
