“Mr. Nixon gave the EPA too much power when he created it, or did the agency just amass that power since then?”
Yes, but he had a lot of “help” from the Congress. It’s always the same old story with new “agencies.” They get some really sketchy “guideline law” and then they tell the agency to “have at it with unfettered and unmonitored regulations. And of course there isn’t a federal agency that doesn’t grow by leaps and bounds adding people and office space. President Eisenhower said of the Department of Agriculture way back in the 1950’s, “It’s hard to be a farmer when you plow is a pencil and you’re 2,000 miles from a cornfield!”
“3 decades? It’s a good start.“
Tha caught my eye. Wonderful news.
A few years would be a good start.
Anytime we can force the administrative government back into the Constitution it helps restore the legislative government the founders presented us with.
Well 3 decades is a start, but we want it bombed back to the stoneage Curtis Lemay style.

But that would exceed the allowable salt content for inland waterways.”
Best post I’ve seen today.
It’s happening every single day now: Winning. Still not tired, though.
I’d like to see Pruitt eliminate the ever-more-stringent EPA regulations on emissions and fuel economy which are raising new-car prices.
Dear Alexander C. Kaufman
Scott was sworn in on Feb 17, 2017. Therefore it hasn’t even been a whole year yet. Just imagine what more he can accomplish by the time of his first anniversary!!!
Bring tears of delight to your, Cory Booger’s and a whole universe of democrat eyes, I’m sure
They both look neutered.
Pruitt hasn’t done enough. There are still buildings that say “EPA” on them, that haven’t yet been burned to the ground and the earth under them salted.
The EPA needs to be set back to the Stone Age!
Yes, the EPA should be rolled back to the level it was at during LBJ’s administration.
Thanks ;)
Yep.
There was a Mensa convention in San Francisco. (Mensa, as you probably know, is a national organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher. )
Some of the Mensa members, when sitting down for lunch at a local café, noticed that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt.
How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand?
Clearly, this was a job for the mighty Mensa minds.
The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer.
They called the waitress over ready to dazzle her with their solution.
"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker has pepper."
But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted: "Oh, sorry about that."
She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them. There was dead silence at the Mensa table.
Kind of reminds you of the past 30 years in Washington D.C., doesn't it?
