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.

Winning!
YEAH!!
good
I’m not tired of winning.
More to this story: over one third of the federal workforce is over 55, and eligible for retirement. Trump is just their excuse to sell their spouses on the idea of retiring.
I’ll be honest....I’m all broke up about this (smirk).
Cut off the easy money and .,.POOF
Addition by subtraction. The fewer parasites the better!
This is like a half-of-a-percent of total staffing.
But, it is a start.
(I will be away from 22 Dec until 02 Jan. During my absence all of my posts and replies will be done by a new app called PostBot. As this is a beta version please excuse any foul language, personal attacks, and baseless accusations. I will resume control on 02 Jan. Merry Christmas!)
The EPA has been one of, if not the most, out of control bureaucracies in the federal government.
Glad to see it. This is one portion of the swamp that’s draining itself.
Fantastic! Perhaps the IRS agents will take the hint.
” science in particular is taking a hard hit. More than 27 percent of those who left this year were scientists”
They seem to define “science” to be “whatever the hell it is that what we call ‘scientists’ do”.
I think science will do just fine.
Maybe they can hire some humans instead of Dembots.
In some ways this actually does make me nervous as their ‘devotion’ to the agenda runs very deep. Many will end up as activists sounding all knowledgeable to the uneducated...and that spells trouble down the road.
Door. Ass. Swing that door fast and knock their kiesters into the new year. MAGA
I love it when the swamp drains itself.
1) McConnell and whoever replaces Ryan will get rolled by the democrats and allow DACA to become normalized.
2) All the DACA invaders plus chain migration will eventually yield a democrat majority.
3) The dems will take control of all of government and ensure the decline of America into just another socialist third world hell hole.
4) And then these people can get their old jobs back - except they won't be needed as their only function in the last 8 years has been to convince Americans to vote for democrats or roast in globull warming hell, a function in which they failed miserably.
DIE COMMIE SCUMBAGS!! Or sumthin...
