OUT OF CONTROL executive branch ALERT!

DEFUND/DISMANTLE the EPA

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

In an unrelated, but contemporary, event, Congress established the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970, at what may have been the dawn of the Watergate Era. According to the EPA website, the agency’s very first budget in Fiscal Year (FY) 1970 was just over $1 billion. In the ensuing years, the agency’s budget grew steadily until it exceeded $10 billion in FY 2010. That amounts to an average annual increase of about $225 million over 40 years. That growth in the EPA budget includes a very large increase from FY 2009 to FY 2010 of $2.65 billion, a one year increase of more than 10 times the annual average increase over 40 years, and about 35% over the FY 2009 budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY:
The agency gets $8.1 billion, down $60 million from the last fiscal year. The agency’s budget has been slashed by $2.2 billion, or 21 percent, since fiscal 2010, according to GOP aides. The cuts mean that EPA will have to reduce its staffing to the lowest levels since 1989.

More cuts. Reduce staff and budget until eliminated.
