The woman’s a complete idiot, a shrill partisan, and living proof that the entire Code of Federal Regulations should be thrown out as Un-Constitutional lawmaking by bureaucrats.
The face of madness, right there.
Please, Donald, get elected and close this rogue department.
Real environmental abuses can be handled as public nuisance torts, not by thousands of annual regulations.
no kidding, almost 200,000 job loss in the coal industry
That’s nice Cupcake, polish up the resume sweetie, come January 2017 you will need it.
And I also suggest retaining council...
End the g-d epa.
“Please, Donald, get elected and close this rogue department”
Congress passed the laws that the EPA is enforcing. If the EPA had not been created by Nixon’s executive order, there would be four or five mini-EPAs at Commerce, Interior, Labor, Agriculture, and Justice trying to enforce Congress’s absurd “environmental “ laws.

All of these laws articulate unachievable fantasy goals, and charge the President with creating their environmental utopia through regulation.
Now, of course, when you elect Marxists to high office, the regulations they choose to pursue will be worse.
BUT
THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE EPA. THE PROBLEM IS THE LAWS.
Please get rid of the EPA.
Well, suits could be brought according to the laws, but the EPA is completely out of control. They are practically an environmental religious police.
Your point is valid, though. My next recommendation would be the sunsetting of most laws, unless reviewed and renewed, or explicitly decreed as of indefinite life on passage... which should take a super-majority.
And, while I’m in the mood, I’d also like to see “truth in legislative packaging,” so that laws contain clauses only germane to the title, and riders are forbidden.
Government gone wild.
Was Nixon the first rino?
Trump is going to have to fumigate this particular agency down to at least the fifth level of power.
lol, NOT good enough!
You can cut a tree down but if you really, really want to kill it you must dig it up by the roots!
Translated: The EPA needs to be RETROACTIVELY killed all the way back to it’s first HOUR of existence. This means a lifetime Special Prosecutor appointed to ferret out criminal activity and prosecute.
You are correct about the laws being awful.... but it is also true that the EPA and other agencies create 1000s of regulations which have not been given adequate oversight by congress... who refuses to do so. At least with laws there is some kind of recourse, but with regulations the options of recourse are limited.
The EPA has morphed into an enemy of the republic. They need to be destroyed, not disbanded. After which, their employees should be banned from all future gov’t or municipal employment.
It stands to reason the head of EPA is a woman.
Women like to write rules.
Men like to actually do things.
A letter to your senators and representatives:
Dear _______________, it has become increasingly obvious that the president intends to use the power of the MANY governmental agencies to bypass the will of the people and Congress. For that reason, it is imperative for Congress to reclaim the power it has abdicated to the executive branch. I propose a simple amendment that be put in EVERY bill voted on by Congress until it passes. The wording is as similar to the following:
“No government agency, organization, or entity created by Congress in the past or future shall have legislative or judicial powers. For the purpose of this amendment, legislative power shall be construed to mean the making of any rule violation of which renders a citizen, legal entity, corporation, or company of any state or the United States to imprisonment, fine, excessive or punitive fee, or other punishment. Judicial power shall be construed to mean, the holding of any evidentiary hearing not presided over by an Article III court or the issuance of findings which result in imprisonment, fine, or punishment of a citizen, legal entity, corporation, or company of any state or the United States.
Under this law, all current rules implemented by any government agency, organization, or entity created by Congress that has legislative or judiciary powers as defined above will become null and void five years from the date of passage unless approved by normal constitutional means.”
Please consider this carefully.
Sincerely, _____________
