EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said on the Breitbart Fight Club Founders’ Roundtable Tuesday that the agency is leading what amounts to the “largest deregulatory action” ever, slashing “trillions of dollars in deregulation.

Environmental Protection Agency chief Zeldin spoke during the Breitbart Fight Club Roundtable with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow and Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle about the agency’s efforts to slash government waste, fraud, and abuse.

The EPA administrator, a former congressman, has moved to cancel over $22 billion in contracts as part of President Donald Trump’s initiative to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) policies, environmental justice grants, and other superfluous government spending.

He emphasized the degree to which the administration has been able to make significant savings by cutting waste, fraud, and abuse at the agency. Zeldin said that the agency’s annual operating budget is $10 billion, while they have been able to cut $22 billion in grants.

The leader of the agency said on the Breitbart Fight Club Roundtable, “One month ago, we announced what amounts to the largest deregulatory action in the history of the country. One agency will do more deregulation in 2025 than entire federal government wide deregulatory effort ever of any administration. We’re going to have trillions of dollars of deregulation, just in the EPA, just in 2025, and we’re going to bring down costs. We’re going to make it doing create jobs, including the auto sector. We’re going to make it easier to buy a home. Make it easier to be able to heat your home. This is the mandate. This the term mandate. This is what people voted for last November. We’re going to follow through to get it done.”

Wouldn’t it be something if they got the deficit down to manageable levels? Course the libs would run it right back up again thinking that all the money saved was “found money for their enjoyment”

Any deficit is not manageable period. You need to operate in the black, pay off the debt and then any funds in the black goes back to the people it was taxed from
