Why does Bush hate safe streets, safe imports, loan disclosures?

Some of the last-minute executive orders Bush is ramming through would let truckers drive longer hours, let importers avoid some post-9/11 safety inspections, let truckers pollute without self-monitoriing equipment, loosen lending loopholes and more.

Congress can reject the changes next year on a special fast-track program. BUT… will GOP senators want to do some early filibuster threat muscle-flexing?

A good question, indeed.
