A fair start but doubling the cut would be better, even at this the Rats and enviro-nazis will go ballistic.

Not much of a cut for such a useless agency. Why did Richard M. Nixon try to appease the left with the EPA? It didn’t work for him.

As I type this, panicky EPA drones are frantically preparing estimates of the number of children who will die because of these cuts.

Cut by 40-50%.

Using his CRA of the WOTUS act, he can shave 1000 employees right there, and they were the ones most likely weaponized.

The 24% cut would likely coincide with those hired after 2008, putting Q EPA back to its ‘normal’ mission.

Should cut 90% of it.

Please note I agree with you.

It may not be possible to get more cuts than this through though.

A 24% reduction in budget may equal a huge difference in the amount of meddling simply because most of those cuts would come from personnel.

Take what is possible.

No doubt about it and the Rats will be saying exactly that in the House and Senate.

Chuckie and San Fran Nan will have Rats believing they’ll be on life support should this pass.

It’s a good cut if he cuts the same amount next year, and the year after that.

Sounds very moderate, measured and prudent.
