And I hope to see about 16,000 EPA workers begging on the streets if they choose to do so.

[Mariner]

then 14,000, then 12,000, then 10,000, then 8,000.

Then pause and ask if there are any others who wish to lose their cushy govt job.

[NormsRevenge]

Why does any gubamint agency have 16K employees.. Does it produce anything besides fines and regs? Certainly not education, its track record is nothing to crow about.

[CivilWarBrewing]

DRAIN THE TOXIC SWAMP (EPA)!!!

[VideoDoctor]

Just fire 'em.

Reagan fired 11-THOUSAND air traffic controllers in 1981.

Reagan fires 11,000 striking air traffic controllers Aug. 5, 1981

16,000 employees. and 100,000 contractors. This is the money spigot for the corruptocrat left.

[bgill]

16,000 job openings coming soon.

[snarkytart]

They don’t vote R anyway, well, most don’t.

The ones that do will keep loving Trump. Look at the guy detained at the airport yesterday. “What do you think of Trump?”
- “I like him”

LOL

[ronnie raygun]

Fire all 16,0000 and start over

[momincombatboots]

Gotta say it from eagle eye.. Get to work, or you will be demoted to a position that actually involves touching shit with your hands.

[TADSLOS]

Block all funding. The libs who steal oxygen at the EPA can dine on their regs.

[novemberslady]

“He’ll have 16,000 employees working against him,”

not once they're all in the unemployment line...

[grumpygresh]

Trump should blitz the EPA. Take the former EPA chief and all involved with that toxic river dump to court.
Open up EPA records for the public to see. Dump documents of all the rigged studies any uncomfortable e-mails.
Make the EPA a tiny agency and transfer functions to interior and/other relate to agencies. Eliminating the EPA would take congressional action and it’s not worth the political capital at least right now.

[mulligan]

Cut off their pay or fire them. We do not need incompetents.

[blueunicorn6]

You don’t have to control every federal employee.

You only have to control their pay computer.

Turnabout is fair play.

Every time a federal employee in this organization is supposed to get a step increase, they get a decrease.

It’s a computer glitch! Here, fill out a form. We’ll get it fixed in 8 or 9 years.

[Rapscallion]

When likely EPA Secretary Scott Pruitt walks into his first day at the office, “He’ll have 16,000 employees working against him,”

Best solution is to fire half of them before they get to work. Then they will run around all day holding their a$$e$ and wondering what to do.

[headsonpikes]

Worry not!

I think President Trump knows how to fire under-performing employees. That is a very underestimated skill.

[wku man]

Hey EPA...Google "PATCO" and "Reagan". Then STFU.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[nonsporting]

The EPA employees should be reassigned to some remote US location — incorporated or unincorporated, doesn’t matter.

Make the move a condition of continued employment. They can do their new functions on site — analyzing polar bear feces, the impact of penguin flatuence on global warming, etc.

We will see how many wish to remain.

[Captain7seas]

16,000 EPA employee’s against him.

VS:

62,979,879 voters standing with Trump

[DennisR]

Sane people call that insubordination. You get fired for that.
