Its not a significant amount of money at all, especially compared to the cost of bombs dropped on Syria - BUT, if it makes EPA employees unhappy and miserable, then its worth it.

"it was the previous administration that granted those gym memberships,"

Trump's people never hesitate to inform the American people of the Democrats' malfeasance.

Bushes never do.

Wyoming Pond Nightmare

Here in the Wyoming boondocks I wanted a swimming pond for the kids in the summer, maybe skate a little in the winter. The EPA fined me $5,000 PER DAY for that..! One day they even told me I owed them SIX MILLION DOLLARS..! I'm a WELDER.

Eliminate the whole EPA, keep a maximum of 5 advisors with zero power.

Pruitt is moving in the right direction. That’s the take away.

Fought with these nutsy EPA over wetlands.

They declared the whole of a man's property was a wetland. The owner brought out 50 years old pictures showing that it was covered with farm roads and a peach orchard. Wetland my a**

It was for only 37 people. I would like to know names and positions. Cost per person was high.

Oddly, we never heard a whisper about this from David Fahrenthold of the Washington Bezos Post-Blog.

Obama’s Cloward-Piven strategy may yet still ruin us.

Must be nice to be a worthless FED-GUV employee and do squat on a daily basis for over $100k/yr.

If people actually use it and we dont have to pay for heart attack costs, get them a membership to the YMCA.

or whatever’s cheapest.
