Hundreds of EPA Workers Leave the Agency
Mobile.the.scientist.com ^ | 9/6/17 | Aggie Mika

Buyouts offered by the Trump administration to more than 1,200 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees have prompted 400 people to leave their posts since the end of last month, The Wall Street Journal reports. This mass exit has resulted in a 2.5 percent cut in the agency’s staff, the report states, and if workers continue to take the buyouts, the EPA could be facing its smallest operating staff since the late 1980s.

The majority of the deals presented to employees consisted of buyouts or voluntary early retirement for eligible employees, according to an E&E News report from earlier this summer (July 17). The number of EPA employees offered either deal was expected to tally up to 1,227 workers for this summer, with the EPA’s Office of Research and Development hit the hardest by a potential loss of 183 workers. Those who choose to opt into the summer buyouts will have to do so by September 2 of this year, E&E reports.

Trump’s found the right formula to deal with the bureaucracy.

Who knew cleaning out the EPA was better for the environment!

Let me guess, you’re going to post a third article on the same subject in the next five minutes.

The FBI, IRS and the EPA are full of Obama appointees, all of them liberal fascists bent on destroying America from within, in order to bring about the liberal fascist Obama Utopia, based on racial and ethnic nationalism.

All of them act according to Saul Alinsky tactics, expounded in the community organizing advice in “ Rules For Radicals” by Alinsky.

Buy them out? They should be apprehended for their various leaks, breaking the law, refusal to enforce the law, etc.

In short, a purge is necessary, not “buy outs.”

Frog march them to the nearest federal pen, try them and convict them.

When I worked there, we had three lawyers and two admins for every scientist.

Buying them out is probably cheaper and faster than charging them. Besides that, cutting down the number of backstabbers in these agencies means focusing on the ones who remain. Openings can be used to hopefully bring in people who support the Deplorable agenda. With more information from inside, it could conceivably add to more convictions and removals.

I would rather see my tax dollars used to buy whips for the pricks, rather than lining their sordid pockets.

Here is the money quote, paraphrased for today’s environment:

“. . . liberal fascism [is] a cancer that attempts to kill the two birds of American exceptionalism with one stone. It is a deviously appealing Third Way that in the end, if allowed to triumph completely, kills both individual liberty and Judeo/Christian religion with its single stone.”

Every American needs to know and understand this!

400 people leaving resulted in a 2.5% staff reduction?! 16,000 employees?? Sounds like they have a loooong way to go.
