If a product is made that will injure people without the precursor of 'irresponsible use', then that company will cease to exist.
If an airport cannot maintain standards for safety, they will cease to be an inlet for air traffic, hence, their economy will suffer.

First of all, the problem here is that all action has to take place after an incident occurs. You have to get sick or die before you can take action. Second of all, it's nearly impossible to track down the actual company that is responsible for introducing the pollutants into the air or water since in most cases there will be multiple polluters exhausting similar pollutants.
I work as an environmental consultant. It is obvious that companies install pollution control devices and use practices that minimize environmental damage because they have to. They sure as hell don't spend the money out of the goodness of their hearts.

everyone needs to learn how to read. Why do kids out of poor school districts not know how to read now? put responsibility back on the parents.

Please, be realistic. The parents will have to work a second (or third job) so that their kids can attend the school with the lowest prices with the teachers that take the lowest paying jobs because they can't get work anywhere else. Privatized education is yet another scheme to keep poor people in their place (as servants to the rich).
What's your point? If we fire 10,000 people in the Coast Guard, we have to divert 10,000 people from the Navy to take their place. You might as well say "let's eliminate the Marines, the Army produces soldiers"

Take a look at Mexico. Is that how the US should look?

Those angry housewives would know alot better what to shutdown and what to leave alone if they didn't have a usurping federal authority trying to think for them.

Bullshit. Workplace injuries have decreased dramatically in the decades since agencies like OSHA and MSHA started forcing safety standards and levying fines on companies that failed to provide safe environments.

With the current court system we have, yes. If we had a fair libertarian court system, they wouldn't. Those 'libertarian' justices would rule according to natural law and the constitution, not according to a political party principle.
