“and the EPA, but back then, I didn’t know enough about those things to understand how destructive they were.”
I do not think the original intent of the EPA was to be destructive. Rather any agency the left gets control of can and will be an administrative tool to promote their agenda.
Just about any government agency or department is now making administrative rules to run the country. Rules made by appointees while our elected representatives do nothing about it.
I think the SES employees running these outfits are actually running the country in collusion with the rat party. They are the Deep State. The most effective way for Trump to eliminate the Deep State is to fire these employees.
I agree-the EPA in and of itself, for the purpose it was implemented, was a noble one. But giving an agency all that power over the years to legislate, enact law, and to punish people was an object example of why big-government is evil, wasteful, and tyrannical.
Now, it is, as you pointed out, ALL agencies doing that.
We have to fix that. All legislation and law must originate with the Legislative branch, not the Executive Branch, not the Judicial branch, not with the myriad of agencies, and most definitely not from the offices of a multitude of unelected bureaucrats we call the Deep State.
