I agree...defund EPA. We need to defund a many programs that use tax dollars to work against us.

Simple solution: Cut the money allocated to EPA salaries by at least a factor of 10.

Upton and Phillips complain that EPA -- despite the regulatory power given to it in 2007 under a Supreme Court interpretation of the Clean Air Act -- should await the outcome of further litigation about the way EPA is going about exercising that regulatory authority.So Upton, a Member of Congress and the chairman of an important committee, thinks that the EPA's authority is subject, not to Congress, but to the courts?
EPA is a creature of Congress. Any authority it possesses is the result, not of LITIGATION, but of LEGISLATION.
Legislation is Upton's G-D JOB!
If Upton does not have the balls to abolish the EPA, the least he can do is zero out its budget.
"Await the outcome of further litigation" indeed!

I think that they'll try to reason with O's EPA people and keep defunding in their back pocket.
With recent Republican caves, O may not think they have the balls to do it - the House does, and they will.

When the EPA auditor comes around, give her a cup of coffee, hand cuff her and lead her to a detention cell. After three weeks on bread and water, carry her off to Saskatchewan or Alberta and release her on a lonely stretch of road.

The new Congress better get going quick to stop not only the EPA power grab, but also the FCC fiat to regulate the Internet. These are both unconstitutional power grabs.

The EPA, as well as the other bloated bureaucracies of government sprawl, have been doing power grabs since the early 1900s. How is this power grab different from all other power grabs?

Upton needs to spend as much energy reversing the mandated demise of the incadescent light bulbs.
Outlawing those is equally unconstitutional.
