EPA?

Yeah, thanks Dick Nixon for this rogue agency, created by executive order, the Administrator given Cabinet rank even though it’s not an actual ‘department’, it’s become a magnet for any and every kind of jackbooted federal thug to trample on the Constitution.

It needs to be abolished, totally.

And then there’s this:

You’d think with $6B in slush funds, they could manage to fix what they messed up. If a corporation or private individual did this, the EPA would bankrupt them for the cost, at a minimum.

A lot of these alphabet organizations in the US federal government are completely lawless because they were never authorized by Congress. Because of that they are technically exempt from oversight as they shouldn’t exist and technically don’t have real authority. That is how they get away with their lawlessness. Trump needs to become President and actually do away with some of these organizations beginning with every Czar who act as a surrogate Congress. I know people have stated this is impossible because of government unions and contracts and government lawyers. Even Reagan never downsized Federal government. In fact it doubled in size under his watch. I don;t care what people say.. Trump could fire or dismiss them with some kind of severance package and hold his ground and it could be done. Unfortunately the complete weight of the GOPe would likely come down against him on anything to do with cutting any Federal government job or agency.

Money is allocated for cleanups, but the cleanup processes can last for years. So, in between the time the money is allocated and the cleanup is completed, the money is placed in segregated accounts to be drawn upon as work is contracted and completed.

duh

Meanwhile, as the secret cash stash grows, the EPA requested $8.267 billion from Congress for FY 2017.

The leftist dem-rino entrenched DC political establishment is stealing every dollar and cent of taxpayers monies as fast and as much as they possibly can. They throw promises and pieces of bread to the ignorant Americans who support and ignore them, they are the same, and laugh all the way to the bank to deposit stolen monies for themselves and their families and bureaucratic friends. Both dem-rino men and women alike.

Now, now, you know the usurper and his cronies used the Constitution for TP years ago. Guaranteed this doesn’t stop at the EPA but covers all gov agencies. Like him or not, Trump is a businessman and a businessman is what we need to clean up this mess politicians have created. We also need to imprison every agency head who has lined his pockets with stolen tax dollars.

One of the nicest persons I've ever met was destroyed by the EPA.

The EPA needs to be totally disbanded and maybe, just maybe, replaced with an organization that monitors Only major violators of the environment, e.g. the new smokestack industry in town that is choking all the townspeople. Even That would be regulated by local uproar and free markets, but lofos don't get that. The EPA thinks your backyard is a wetland. That's got to stop. Did you know the EPA has their own police force, their own SWAT style units? Soft tyranny. .

". . .with some kind of severance package . . ."

Orange suit, twenty years of free room and board for illegal acts committed under the color of law.

Good enough ?

And we’re told that an Article V convention is dangerous.

We’re supposed to just keep voting as if it matters.

The upcoming sabotaged election may be the tipping point. What will it take for real rebellion?

Negative interest rates on all bank/S&L deposits might do it.

So Congress should ban the practice immediately and take the funds for the VA.
