Nixon sucked. He and his Kissinger gang did nothing but kiss commie ass. Gave us the EPA. His removal got us Reagan. So the CIA failed too.
At the time, the EPA was necessary with corporations polluting lakes, rivers and streams all across the United States and land fills with toxic waste.
Unfortunately, like every govt. agency founded with good intentions, they turn out to be major disasters.......
The EPA has out lived its purpose and I'll be the first to say that the EPA should be disbanded and environmental issues be left up to the individual states and all Acts passed under their umbrella should be re-evaluated. The first being the Migratory Bird Act........
