More proof that Gingrich and most Republicans would just continue the same-old same-old.

Hard to say how many Repubs and Yellow-Dogs want big, monolithic government....but it is a fact that they cherish their jobs, in many cases, more than American freedoms and our core values. The people deserve the government they get...don’t blame the crooks. Blame those that keep putting them back in office.
I think there is room for the establishment of some reasonable standards that would be administered by an agency - I’m old enough to remember when raw sewage ran in the Hudson, there was no living plant on the banks of the Ohio, and the Cuyahoga caught fire. Reasonable standards are not a bad thing, and somebody has to be responsible for overseeing them.
The problem is that all of these agencies seem to be able to take off on their own and are not accountable to the legislative branch or anyone else. Agencies have to exist and they can do good things; but we have to think up a way of controlling them.
In addition, the method of appointing their heads makes them essentially an arm of the Executive Branch, and when you have a nutcase in the White House, as we do now, this can be a problem.
Or then you have the situation of Bush, who obviously wanted to rationalize things but wasn’t strong enough to buck the lower level of civil servants who occupy these posts, combined with the fact that the press attacked him every time he appointed someone to a leadership office and made him afraid to do anything after the first year or so.
The idea of an environmental agency isn’t bad and in fact is necessary, but there has got to be more control over what it’s doing and who is creating the policy. All agencies seem to be off on their own now, carrying out missions that they were never designed to do and implementing policy that has never been publicly discussed or agreed upon anywhere.
Gingrich is grade B dog meat, not fit for human or dog consumption.
I like ABOLISHING (not replacing) EPA agency. The government can help any worker seriously injured due to toxic substances, unsafe safety practices etc by the employer.
Those instances are few and will not require a large agency like EPA to restrain every single business out there with regulations and paper work. My guess is they would need 1/100th the number of current EPA staff and 1/50th budget.
And I speak as someone whose cousin had his lungs severely damaged by inhaling ammonia from a leaking container.
So Chrissy Matthews....er....Newt Gingrich...wants his own Global Warming Hoax agency?
FR needs to “Giuliani” Gingrich now......
How about eliminate the EPA, and don’t replace it, at all!
I think he and McCain are seeing the same shrink.
So then we can have the APE (Agency for Protection of the Environment) - progress!
When, when he had the ability to try, did he ever "replace" or, preferably, "remove" anything associated with marxist ideology?
