Defund the EPA now would be a better decision. They need to understand they can bask in the glory after they have done the job.
Just attach riders to the funding bill. No funding unless regualtions are repealed, EPA loses jurisdiction over greenhouse gases and all future regulations must be approved by 2/3 majority of both houses before they can be implimented!
No restrictions, no funding!!!
The problem with defunding an agency is that as soon as a different politician gets in he re-funds it. It becomes an issue for politicians to raise money, to fight over when other things are much more important. Why fight the same battles over and over again, only to watch the country burn to the ground while they do? The only way to cure the cancer of socialism, corporate fascism, is to CUT IT OUT. All the fancy regulations that business “hates” is nothing but a fun slalom to large and implanted corporations. The regulations are the gatekeepers price of playing the game, and that is not the way this country was set up. Every man an equal in opportunity, fair and impartial rules and politicians that SERVE US, not themselves and their friends. THAT is the country I love, not this tattered old oligarchy that needs citizens only as patrons or voters.
