President Trump praised his newly sworn-in head of the Environmental Protection Agency at his rally in Melbourne, Fla., saying he'll represent a "big difference" in reversing the actions of the Obama administration that were "clogging up the veins of our country."

"He'll do so good," Trump told the crowd.

Trump's former head of the EPA transition, Myron Ebell, told media outlets that the administration is looking to cut the agency's staff by two-thirds, dropping from 15,000 to 5,000 employees.

Pffft, politics. In Syria we fix these issues with Hellfires and 1000lb smart bombs.

“dropping from 15,000 to 5,000 employees.” I would prefer 15,000 down to one—the head of the agency.

As we have seen just this year, we need 5,000 to clean up the EPA spills!

Firing 2/3 of the agency.

Love to be a bug on the wall listening to conversations in those offices. Reckon they’re using naughty words.

Hallelujah!! Praise the Lord and President Trump! A 2/3 cut in worthless trash that most definitely clogging our veins. I never thought I’d see the day when this could,even be proposed or discussed. I pray they have the strength and fortitude to overcome and CRUSH the opposition into oblivion. Grind them into dust!

The one remaining parasite could bore 10,000 contractors and it would be business as usual.

The phony climate budget is redundant with so called research done by other fed agencies. Also, I’m not sure which agency funded the studies of shrimps on a treadmill (a hilarious video clip of that was shown yesterday on Fox Business Network), but that will also be history.

Okay; NOW they can start crying. I read they were crying during Trump's first week in office. Maybe they got wind of his plans back then but I kinda doubt it. They probably just knew their gravy train was heading into the last station for them.

This is great news for the country. Hopefully the people who were actually doing some good at the EPA and not there as political dead weight for the left will find work at the state level around the country.

Good news indeed. President Trump is doing a phenomenal job. I hope he can drain the swamp at the VA soon and get everything but the clinics and pharmacies shut down so those who qualify for care can use the private market for hospital care and special tests. I can see a need to keep a few large VA hospitals open like one on the west coast, one in the middle of the country, and one on the east coast for injured troops to go for specialized care by people who understand and know how to deal with combat casualties.

Yepper; Keep MAGA President Trump!!

It’ll have to be a bilking of them in a kind of backwards fashion.

Great news! The EPA answers to the Marxist agenda of making it increasingly impossible for U.S. industry to operate or survive. Marxist activists know it’s not really about concern for the environment at all.

Yup. Gotta eliminate the agency, otherwise it will grow back bigger, badder and meaner than ever before.

Excellent news; our President is doing marvelous things; things that should have been done long ago. And nobody can stop him doing this...which is the BEST news. :-)

Not if the firings are judiciously planned/thought out and the worst of the lot gets pink slipped.
