The EPA was actually instituted to solve problems versus perpetuate its own existence by creating them?

Good move. Maybe it will help to prevent more toxic spills into pristine rivers.

“Oh, and their enormous stash of guns and ammo should be sold at public auction.”

It’s possible those weapons and ammo have already made it to ISIS. I always thought it was going to be used directly against us, but I’ve heard an awful lot of weaponry was transferred to our worst enemy...

Declare the EPA a seditious organization, which it is, and pull it out by the roots. It is completely infested with fascists who don’t subscribe to the idea of private property. The EPA is modeled after Hitler’s Reich Minister of Food and Agriculture, run by the psychopath Richard Walther Darré, an advocate of Himmler’s blood and soil movement.

Purge regulations that hurt landowners, farmers, construction, etc. Review everything!
I don’t know how many employees they need if they do away with many of the old regulations.

Kill it. Kill ALL of it.

It was illegally created by EO, terminate by the same.

Let the States handle, as they already do (or not). There is *WAY* too much duplication\overlap where no authority exists to begin.

Walking to our bus after today's March for Life, I passed fancy townhouses and condos as well as high end residential buildings under construction. It is definitely time that the swamp in DC is drained. They have lived in an artificial economy unrelated to what was happening in the rest of the country.

Herman Cain's terrific book clearly states how the insiders: legislators, lobbyists, CEO's, government workers, elites, etc. just want things to stay the same. They know how to work the system and want no changes. Ah, there is a new sheriff in town, one who cares about all Americans.

KILL the EPA totally. TOTALLY.

They have caused more problem than they have come close to solving.

Prosecute & fine & possible imprison the perps who caused the damage at Gold King Mine in Colorado, which caused toxic items to flow all the way to Arizonw via rivers.

Trump needs to cut EPA’s budget by 8 billion dollars”””

There is half the cost of the WALL........

How many Americans have spent thousands of dollars fighting against crazy EPA edicts??? That rancher in Wyoming fought with them over a stock pond-—and the EPA has absolutely NO JURISDICTION over stock ponds.

Also—the couple in Idaho who the EPA went after over trying to build on their lot on a lake . Who makes these targets whole again???

The EPA has been the biggest bully on the block since inception.

They must be closed completely.

"They must be closed completely."

Oh I completely agree. The budget for the EPA is 8 billion dollars. I want the budget for the EPA to be cut by 8 billion dollars.
