You mean big oil doesn't care if we are poisoned? Shocking. Maybe Oklahoma water is on its way to be as deadly as Iowa water. Maybe this whole country can just be giant one toxic waste dump, sea to shining sea.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"
