A sick situation which has existed long before Omugabe came on the scene, so he cannot get all the credit.
This bureaucracy is simply another playground for professional bureaucrats, whose sole existence is milking the public purse, and perpetuating their power as long as possible. Overreaching is their downfall, as with all the other alphabet soup agencies created with good intentions, but allowed to go wild for decades.
The solution may well be to erase it and start over, using the criteria that was the basis of their original creation. To gather facts to guide legislation by elected officials.
This business of allowing non-existing bureaucracies to write rules and regulations with the force of law has got to stop.
The ADA is the most painful example of what happens when the elected officials are too stupid, too lazy or too arrogant actually to read the freaking laws they pass and to do their jobs. That too, has got to change.
Your post is dead on the mark.
The EPA has become more and more anti business and anti property rights as the years have passed. A big factor has been the infiltration of radical communist environmentalists into the agency as well as the federal judicial system in my view.
There’s much to be said for erasing it and starting over.
