Downsize to maybe 2000 employees MAX.
1,999 too many.
I want to see several agencies reduced to “scorecard” status. Since they are all duplications of state agencies anyway, they should just collect data and publish reports. And given no regulatory authority whatsoever. EPA and DO Education are perfect candidates. Maybe EPA I can have a science advisory board once it learns to behave.
What are you a liberal? :) jk
I ASSUME they do have SOME important functions.
Industrial companies aren’t angels and 2000 should be plenty to keep on eye on any toxic dumping.
Eliminate the entire structure, completely.
The EPA was built as a bull**** excuse to expand the fed gov’s power and for no other reason.
There’s not a single dang thing the EPA does that states can’t do for themselves for far less cost, far far less idiotic and purposely economically destructive impact.
And when two or more states can’t agree or play nice with each other, then the federal court comes into play.
The EPA is and never was anything but bull****.
i have heard reported th 85% of EPA are contactors..... gone in 60 minutes. don’t know that this is true.
“Downsize to maybe 2000 employees MAX.”
They could just about keep up the “science” on cattle flatulence’ effect on global warming!
I don't see anywhere near that many being justifiable.
200 real scientists who can read real scientific reports and analyze data are all it takes to give out research contracts and see whether something is harmful to the environment or not. Once a genuine report is in, which could take a decade, then they could analyze the results and find suitable unbiased people to propose solutions.
Only after all potential solutions are in is there need for anyone else and that anyone else should be the OMB to decide how realistic solutions are based on a realistic costs/benefit analysis.
JMHo
I’d slash these guys and OSHA. Once again, give this authority to the states.
Give them each a broom and a mop and tell them to clean the earth. Or, maybe just the sites where liberals hold protests.
WTH are you thinking? The entire EPA should be in a leased, rundown Maryland strip mall with three employees to cover a 24 hour shift, a phone, and an Apple Mac IIc computer.
