The EPA MUST be defunded and BY LAW DESOLVED. UNTIL that can be comleted, EPA must be stripped of all regulatory authority.
And don’t get me started on the EDU et al.

Close down the EPA. They do not run this country. Every company and all citizens should refuse to acknowledge that they have any power over our country.

I notice a lot of Freepers like to blame FREE TRADE for loss of US jobs to China/India, etc...
If you want to really understand why jobs go to China, read this article closely. Understand what tort law does to insurance rates and worker-comp. Look at the role of unions in manufacturing. Look at the costs of Govt imposed health care, taxes, etc...

The EPA is good for stopping illegal dumping of toxic waste into rivers etc....
But it has grown bloated and over controlling. It needs to be defunded and rolled into the FBI to only go after the serious offenders, not some redneck wanting to burn garbage.

If we want to be a ‘first world’ country, we have to be industrialized. We have to be able to produce our own cement, steel, oil, gas, etc....how can anyone not understand that.

RE: how can anyone not understand that.
To the left, saving the environment (and to them, it always needs saving, they won’t stop until everything is pristine) is more important than industrializing.

Already shut down wet-process cement kilns in Texas.

Its time to put the EPA out to pasture, now that it has become parasite status. Acid rain is gone, we police our wastes and have the know how keeping pollution in check. The EPA is now pretty much a big brother kind of micro-manager.

Disband it at a federal level and let it be ran by the states.

Schools nationwide use boilers for heat.
Is the EPA going to be allowed to shut down schools & put millions of Democrat supporting teachers out of work?

And just what will you do to replace what the EPA does? Hmmm? Do you want to go back to a Cuyahoga River on fire?
You see, without SOMETHING, industrial competition forces a race to the bottom in environmental mitigation. The trick is to incorporate motive for that activity into the conduct of competitive operations on an efficient and objective basis.
I published and patented a free market alternative environmental management business method. Everybody, including here at FR, just went on wailing "less is better." "We just want 'responsible' regulations," as if they can show what those are.
In that respect, conservatives are exactly like the greenies: They both want the power to decide what is or is not harmful to someone or something else in the choices they make and who will bear the costs or derive the benefits of those choices.

These Freepers are most likely referring to so called 'free trade' agreements, designed and enforced by NWO globalists. These agreements place American workers and companies (burdened by onerous regulation and taxation) in an untenable competition, interfere with our national sovereignty, and over-ride our immigration law.
(Part of the reason we are importing 125,000 new legal workers (guest workers and green cards) each month while unemployment as measured in Reagan's time hovers near 25% is visas incorporated into various free trade agreements and regulated by the WTO.)
Even if the onerous tax and regulation burden were removed, an American business hiring American workers could not compete with corporations using workers in a country where you can hire 15 - 20 workers for the price of one American. ... Unless you are willing to give up our standard of living and devolve into a third world country.

Are we one nation under EPA? This is tyranny. What happened to our freedom and government of and by the people under God?

There must be the basis for a lawsuit against the EPA on constitutional grounds in here somewhere!
