WASHINGTON — More than 700 people have left the Environmental Protection Agency since President Trump took office, a wave of departures that puts the administration nearly a quarter of the way toward its goal of shrinking the agency to levels last seen during the Reagan administration.
Of the employees who have quit, retired or taken a buyout package since the beginning of the year, more than 200 are scientists. An additional 96 are environmental protection specialists, a broad category that includes scientists as well as others experienced in investigating and analyzing pollution levels. Nine department directors have departed the agency as well as dozens of attorneys and program managers. Most of the employees who have left are not being replaced.

“Most of the employees who have left are not being replaced.”
This says everything we need to know.
Your arithmetic needs some work.
It would probably take more than 20 assistants to ride herd on the other 15,376 EPA employees, many of whom go back to Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and (God help us) Barack Obama.
That means one Trumpster for every 768.8 conniving ideological left wingers.
Sounds like a fair fight to me.
WINNING!!!
Try again.
Tragic for all the Profesional Snowflakes who have been living on EPA grants.
Some made a good living writing 4 papers a year.
I thought this might happen. Trump doesn't need to can anyone. He just needs to put people in charge that expect work to be done, that hold people to a standard.
1000's of make-work bureaucrats, who've never done a full day's work in their lives, will be so traumatized at the thought that they'll skedaddle like cockroaches when you turn on the light.
Uh-huh....
And who is going to miss them?
Last place I left, they had to hire two to replace me. No brag, just fact.
How about $700 Million!
Yes Pruitt isn’t flashy but he is dogged. He would be a good AG too and DJT may have parked him in EPA to test him and give Sessions a chance.
My night guy replaced me, after I was told I was going to second (no, the f* I’m not) and he had mounted a campaign to get on first. Got a call 3 weeks later,”man, all they give me is this short turn around busy work crap jobs” all I could tell him was “yup”. Careful what ya ask for.
Praise the Lord.
“This is like a half-of-a-percent of total staffing.”
It’s 4.7%
“More than 700 people have left the Environmental Protection Agency since President Trump took office. . . .”
FANTASTIC!
Do you have the sniffles?
It might be Winning AIDS.
You get it from MAGA.
Now that is tangible progress. Merry Christmas!
Reality is a Bitch!
Wth is that? We used to have the circus for employing people like that.
