Fake Headline of the Day: Ryan Zinke Improves Economy

Ryan Zinke, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, when asked about his position on wildlife conservation, said: "Sure, we're endangering the environment by opening up half the ocean [needlessly] for drilling for oil, and, among other things, greatly increasing the risk for oil spills in the process, but hey, at least we're improving the [already stable] economy."

NOTE: This is a fake headline (created by me and [partially] untrue), not the news. Zinke was not really quoted as saying this, and "opening up half the ocean for drilling for oil" is an exaggeration (although recently, the Department of the Interior announced that millions of acres, as of August 15th, are being opened for oil drilling).
