My Proposed New Law:

The EPA is restricted to one building in the District, and no more than ten buildings elsewhere in the world. None of their buildings maybe be larger, in terms of square feet, than the largest Elementary School Building (not built after the passage of this law!) in the District of Columbia.

Declare all EPA offices hazardous waste areas and “temporarily” close them for repairs.

Next.

keep Lib heads from exploding

That's impossible. Needs an internal pressure to happen, but there is nothing in there, and thusly, nothing to expand.

But, there is always a need for duct tape to keep the lieberal heads from imploding.

“Trump also proposed cutting EPA’s $700 million program that subsidizes replacing old diesel engines in buses and trucks. The EPA inspector general’s office found the program was “used to replace vehicles that would have been replaced anyway due to normal attrition.””

So we have “welfare recipients” in the trucking industry. This is just another “cash for clunker” debacle. A billion here, a billion there, soon you’re talking about “real money!”

“Turn control of the climate over to God.”

I’m sure government would screw it up, but I could almost support true climate control.
Rain on a regular schedule and aim hurricanes at your enemies: sounds like an Asimov novel.

Yes, and if the states get the money currently wasted on the EPA, the commies will simply melt into the state equivalents of the EPA, and continue their war against the human citizens of the USA.

Better to try, convict, and execute them for their crimes against humanity, now.

“A good deal of the Federal government/agencies have become an “employment for Libs/Dems/Progs” scheme. Trump needs to cut them back to the ‘quick’. Pronto.”

Oh, yes. Let them languish in “there ain’t no jobs” hell for a while.

“Just more than half of the EPA building”

That would be perfect for a conservative graduate school. Everything would be in the same building.

If congress wants to keep EPA employees they should be willing to cut their staffs instead. They choose

When you have employees who squat and take dumps in hallways and elevators, you have an excess of employees.

After the primal defecators are laid off, next to go need to be those who have squashed farmers for having ponds and puddles on their properties.

I see it as a declaration of war against government malfeasance. So many government agencies do not manage the funds they are given wisely and in a way which puts America first. Drain the swamp.

Hah.

I’ll support Trump where he’s right, and criticize him where he’s wrong.

Here he’s absolutely right, and could go even farther as far as I’m concerned.

The whole agency could be zeroed out and America would be better for it.

Go for it, Donald!

The EPA budget needs to be cut to zero. Then all those people with nothing to do need to be fired. Then the useless agency needs to be dismantled and office content and any real estate sold at auction.
