Great choice! Would love him to head up the EPA...if we have an EPA at all. The EPA was a bad idea from Richard Nixon.

It the EPA stayed to its original mission from Nixon, it would not be such a bad idea.

The original intention was regulating deadly chemical disposal and cleaning up hazardous waste sites.

Actually they did some good work early on, cleaning up the Great Lakes, oil spill control and countermeasure, etc but they had limited power back then and that’s the way they should have remained.

There is a legitimate role for environmental regulations to the extent that they prohibit dumping toxic chemicals like SO2 into rivers, lakes and the atmosphere.

But regulations aimed at preventing "climate change" need to be completely abolished.

Well, I wouldn’t necessarily call it Nixon’s bad idea. Those 1970s alphabet agencies were mainly created to placate the rioting hippies so the country could get back to some semblance of normalcy.

The plan should be to install this guy as the head director.

Close down all the negative rules and laws instigated by leftists and then disband the unconstitutional EPA.

Do the same with the Dept of Edu, put someone in who can undo all the wrong decisions and then give the authority for schooling back to the states WHERE IT BELONGS!

BATF and the other alphabet depts too.

All of these are not sanctioned by the Constitution.

The EPA was a bad idea from Richard Nixon.

At the time, it was probably a good idea as the EPA headed up the clean-up of "superfund" sites. However, put the EPA in the hands of liberals, and watch out. It has served its useful life (now that there are basically no more superfund sites to clean up). Its now time to put the EPA out to pasture.

There are only FIVE criteria pollutants recognized by the US Government.

All others (PM2.5, Pb, CO2e) are born from the imagination of the EPA bureaucracy and are, according to the congress, “illegitimate but acceptable”.

...you know like false but accurate...
