    All This For A Stupid Fish?

     

         How much trouble can one little fish cause? Oh you would be surprised! Apparently a little fish called the delta smelt minnow made it to the endangered list and, the US government, saw it as their duty to save this thing. Thanks to their efforts pumps which feed tons of water to vast farm lands in California, called the most fertile lands in America, have been shut down and without this water, guess what! The crops are dying and soon the entire area will be covered in dry soil and dead plants which we could have purchased for food, not to mention destroying 80,000 jobs along with the crops.

         This is outrageous! Hasn't anyone ever heard the saying there are plenty of fish in the sea? Let's wise up here for a second: no water=no crops, no crops=no income and a huge slash in food for America and a huge hike in prices on food of which=80,000 people who worked these fields that are now out of a job , and no jobs=worse economy. How ridiculous it is to let one stupid fish increase debt for an already bankrupt California and worsen the economy by destroying jobs and increasing prices worsening the economic crisis since this is where Americans get most of their product.. If Obama wants to do his job and keep his promises he needs to go out to California and turn the pumps back on himself!
