It’s much worse than cap and trade . The EPA is basically shutting down the economy. It’s in the article. And the EPA is doing it around Congress and over the people of the U.S. This is tyranny.
A democrat Congress created the EPA. A president cannot write legislation,nor make laws.
So you are saying , one man Nixon is to blame for all our troubles? Nixon is one man, who doesn’t represent all Republicans nor all Conservatives nor anything except himself and his human failures like we all have. Just one man that’s all the the liberal media used to further the liberal agenda by getting even greater majorities of Democrats/Marxists in Congress
You have little or no understanding of what a “Republican” was in 1970, or of what a “Democrat” was in 1970. Things were very different then. The main difference was the war in Vietnam. There was a lot of agreement on many other issues, and there were many very conservative Democrats and many liberal Republicans still in Congress.
Creation of the EPA.
On July 9, 1970, amid a growing public demand for cleaner water, air and land, President Nixon submitted to Congress a reorganization plan proposing the establishment of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as an independent agency in the executive branch of the federal government. The plan proposed bringing together 15 components from five executive departments and independent agencies.
As I said, Democrat and Republican meant something very different in 1970. If you could find a vote on Nixon's EPA plan in Congress, you'd likely find many Dems against it and many liberal Republicans for it.
And, yes, Nixon also did a great deal to advance affirmative action.
