Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The Environmental Protection Agency has lowered its estimate of a life's worth from $8.04 million to $7.22 million. Several agencies use the figure, which assesses a generic American's value, in deciding whether potentially lifesaving policy measures are worth the cost.

Law of supply and demand, 2007 was a banner year for births thus the value of one person is less.

It's not only the dollar's value that has plummeted under Bush....

Colbert beat you to it.
Priceless.

Do you also rate your life not in BC/AD but UB? UB=Under Bush.

Where in our Constitution does it give our government the 'right' to put a dollar value on our lives! That is despicable!

MSGT-
The EPA does this in order to determine how much we can be poisoned by the biggest political contributors before it becomes too "expensive".

THat is true. Not only the EP, but insurance companies use it as a baseline in their actuarial tables. It is not despicable. In areas where money is being paid out for people, one has to have a number to work with.

Goatman-
It is despicable, although pragmatic.

What is undeniably true is that the worth of a life is less under Bush's EPA after eight years.

Why is that?

Morris--
Not only that, but he did an immeasurably better job. But were I to measure it, I'd say it was worth 33 feet (stacking them sideways), 524 grams (after cremation), 40 pecks (brains only), or 2 million (LDC kidneys)) more than mine, depending on the units chosen.

Why is that?

Inflation?

Hmmm. I remember something I learned once about the last time we put prices on the worth of people, but that was like 175 years ago. You know when slaves were the big commodity.

I would not give 2 cents for a flaming lib.
I wonder how many of you trolls stayed in your basements all day yesterday posting instead of going outside and enjoyig the day?

So why are you in your basement today, fuckwad? Mommy and Daddy leave you at home alone and you got scared?


"Why is that?
Inflation?"

Wouldn't that mean that our lives should be worth more.


Also, FF for Retnluvnit. Classic.
