GOP wants to improve Endangered Species recovery rate.
According to McClatchy there are about 2000 endangered plant and animal species in the US. Since the implementation of the Endangered Species Act two dozen species have recovered enough to be removed from the list. That is a rate of 1% over 38 years. The Republican/Teabaggers want to change that, in their own special way. If they can gut the bill and destroy its effectiveness they should be able to drive at least 1000 species to extinction in a few years and effectively double the rate of success. Who says Republican/Teabaggers aren't good at math?
