The original idea of the EPA was good, to clean up the air and water. We didn't want rivers catching fire and wanted them safe for fish and fishing. We wanted to be able to see our mountains out here.

They accomplished the mission, but have now been captured by lefty extremists who abuse it to stop development and shut down industries they don't like.

in the 1950s the us agriculture department was overwhelmed with communists actually holding jobs in there. It was a common knowledge thing.

I imagine the EPA is their current infestation.

I agree. I am an environmentalist. I recycle and drink purified water. Clean air and water are important to me. However those simple reasonable efforts have been pushed aside by leftists hellbent on political goals.

The problem is that government agencies have no incentive to pronounce the problem "solved". If they do that they will be defunded. So they keep on finding "problems" so they can grow even larger and larger.

There is no way to stop this kind of thing beyond giving them a kind but firm butt kicking and sending them to the unemployment line.
