Horse feathers. EPA is the result of a creation by Congress and Congress can fix it if they had the will and were not always busy feathering their own nest. Saying it can’t be fixed is just passing the buck.
EPA has interpreted well beyond the law in any way they deem appropriate or necessary to some purpose. It is just like the rest of the government; corrupt and perverted from the original intention and simplicity. The tax code was a simple law when it started and now my tax return is nearly 70 pages! Nothing the government does doesn’t expand because a bunch of pettifogging lawyers get started trying to legislate or codify morality and common sense. Congress provides unlimited funds for unlimited mischief. Cut the funds and you cut the mischief. The more people you have the more crap they dream up to do and they will do something even if it is wrong or just plain stupid to hold on to their little phony baloney jobs.
Congress has written a bunch of junk, compromised, open ended, lobbyist satisfying laws and left it to the bureaucrats to interpret them and given them police powers to enforce.
Regulating mud puddles and ditches is just one of many over steps the EPA has taken. There may be a law to end pollution but it was a stupid law and should be reversed. The only way to END POLLUTION is for everybody to DIE and quit using resources. That is what some have in mind so long a the ruling elite aren’t the ones who are vacated.
You stuck your hand in the meat grinder pal. All politicians are all hat and not cattle.
“EPA is the result of a creation by Congress”
No, EPA was created by Executive Order.
