The United States has plenty of enemies in the world that want it to fail. It is insane that we harbor one as a federal agency.
When the Republican Party takes over majority control of Congress in January, it will face a number of battles that must be fought with the Obama administration ranging from its amnesty intentions to the repeal of ObamaCare, but high among the battles is the need to rein in the metastasizing power of the Environmental Protection Agency.

It’s going to be tough to fight the EPA since their are no serious Constitution-respecting lawmakers in DC imo, regardless that RINOs did well in the last election.
The EPA has been granted all of its powers by laws passed by Congress between 1955 and 1972. No rules they have made contravene any of these environmental "laws".
I put "laws" in quotes because I believe all of them without exception are unconstitutional. But the answer is not "reining in the EPA". The EPA is doing that which Congress has allowed through writing laws.
The answer is for Congress to repeal the laws that created this monstrosity.
