You’re right. I would say that the EPA did a great job cleaning up the country, as nobody—including conservatives— wants to see polluted streams, smell garbage along the streets and roads of the land, or breath dirty air.
So why don’t we declare that the EPA met their mandate, and since the job got done; thanks and go home?
Because now they have changed from a helpful agency of all the people to an imposer of the agenda of radical green environmentalism who only represent a fragment of our society.
So often such is the way of government. Long after they have met the goals of what they were set up to do, they begin making rules and regulations to keep themselves in power and paycheck.
Exactly their tasks, if any, can easily be done by each state we dont need a national epa.
I agree.
If the GOP can win in 2016 the EPA should receive special attention for downsizing.
