The EPA wasn't even created by Congress. How in the world would one get rid of it? Another executive order???

Thank you, Richard Nixon! [/sarcasm]

To be fair, if there was no EPA, this country would by now look at lot like the ex-USSR, with denuded, toxic areas and a 60-year life expectancy. The EPA was born in an era where a RIVER caught on fire, and lakes were dying or dead. That era is long gone, this country is _vastly_ cleaner and more efficient than it was. With its work done, it should be downsized - A LOT - like, 80%.

In addition, like the IRS, it is a weapon in the hands of evil men. Taxes must be paid so that the government can perform its (as originally designed) functions; the IRS and tax collection are not inherently bad ideas.

While Nixon established it by Executive Order, only Congress can fund it. It was ratified in the House and Senate, thus funding it.
