The EPA is out of control but despite that they are a necessary evil in our country or else we will end up like China/India/etc.
They need to be reigned in but I don't think that we could get rid of 70% of what they do and remain where we are at today. Anything that has been enacted by them that isn't part of the law can go away though. |

The EPA is directly responsible for hampering the building of new nuclear power plants and for that reason alone I want them dismantled. I want more thorium nuclear power to be developed.
Also, thank the EPA for increasingly bullshit mileage claims by car manufacturers these days. Pretty soon any new vehicle sold will have to get at least 40mpg. How do they claim stuff like that? Soon you'll have 10-speed automatic transmission and 0W-5 motor oil. |

Speaking of sewage on Capitol Hill... We live maybe 10 minutes out, but we rarely get into DC for what are likely obvious reasons. Last time we were there, I took the kids to the Botanical Gardens to see the corpse flower. Yes, it smells like a bloated animal corpse. Anyhow... We're walking back to the car, and my 3 year old little girl is enamored with the ducks in the Capitol reflecting pool. I said, don't get too close. You don't want to fall in. Why? Because it's full of poop. Why? Do you see the ducks? Yes. Where do the ducks poop? I don't know. Guess. In little duck toilets? You're adorable, but no, they poop in the water. Why? And right about here, a duck standing at the edge takes a massive rocket-squirt into the pool. She goes, "DAD, HE POOPED!" I was like, toldya. 
So for weeks, she was telling everyone that would listen, "Dad took me to see the government, and there was just poop everywhere!"

Yep. Most people only think of the major clean air and water rules which were completed decades ago. Now EPA has nothing of real value left to accomplish so most of their regulations are simple left wing harrassment. Occaisionally a few of the more egregious get reported on. For example-- about a month ago it was reported that Whole Foods Stores was fined several million dollars by EPA because a few of their stores did not fill out EPA paperwork on how they disposed of expired vitamins. Supposedly expired vitamins are a hazardous waste.
Then if you may remember a few years ago EPA banned thrift stores, Goodwill, etc. from selling used old childrens books because they supposedly had lead in the ink. Also were going to prohibit chidren from riding ATVs because of the lead-acid batteries. I think those may have been overturned but not sure. There are thousands of rules like that in existence, which as has been previously mentioned is one of the primary reasons manufacturing businesses leave the US for other countries. |

This is typical Lib misstatement.
http://fortune.com/2016/10/07/donald-trump-business-regulations/ Trump said 70% of Federal Regulation, he did not say EPA. .S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said as many as 70% of federal agency regulations could be eliminated if he is elected in November, just hours after an adviser said the candidate would seek to cut 10%.
Trump, who blamed regulations for stifling business, told a crowd at a town hall event in New Hampshire on Thursday night that regulations for the environment and safety would remain. “We are cutting the regulation at a tremendous clip. I would say 70% of regulations can go,” Trump said. “It’s just stopping businesses from growing.” Yes. Its another braggart statement, that his campaign walked back to 10%. But still to characterize it as the EPA, specifically made for independent voters to go holy shit, thats just crazy. Just like the 2nd post. DO NOT GET SHILLED. |

Part in bold? That old lie again? They were hollering about that in the 70's - blamed colored dye in toilet paper and paper towels for raising the mercury level in fish. At the time the book I reference, "The Disaster Lobby", was printed, al the mercury ever processed and used by mankind would have fit into 21 box cars. For all of history. Ever seen the ocean? Imagine all the oceans of the world. Now imaging how much 21 box cars of ANYTHING is going to raise the levels in the fish. The icing on the cake was an archeological discovery, including remains of fish - anchovies, I think it was. 10,000 year old settlement. Fish remains had EXACTLY THE SAME MERCURY LEVEL as modern fish. EPA has to have a crisis to get power. Mercury in fish was a fake crisis, just like DDT, ozone hole, climate change, tris, alar. EPA is making us buy toilets that don't flush enough water to actually flush, and to put expensive squiggle bulbs in our houses, that release (TA-DA!) mercury when they break. Bad for fish, OK for us I guess. Get rid of it. |

The EPA has little to do with environmental protection and everything to do with people/company/financial control. 80% would be a good start. This Treehugger |

As with most Government programs and regulations, I'd say that 70-80% is BS waste anyways so I think he's on to something. Quote HistoryQuoted:

is that a good idea? 70-80% seems kinda extreme. I'm not a TreeHugger, but I also don't want to go duck hunting in sewage. I support Trump 100% but I agree with you. Inb4 you get called a treehugger. As with most Government programs and regulations, I'd say that 70-80% is BS waste anyways so I think he's on to something. I agree, but he shouldn't bring it up right now. It's not a vote-winning position. Anyone who realizes the negatives of the EPA and would support something like hat are already voting for him. Dumbass, he just scared 5% of undeciders because clean water and baby ducks are good. |

Considering how bloated and out of control the EPA is, I think you could reasonably cut 70 % of their regulations. and we'd be just fine.
Does the EPA need to concern itself with seasonal creeks in the back of farmer johns pasture? Should they be involved in every aspect of how you manage your dairy farm or other 20 acre parcel of land? |

The EPA has been an overall good thing for our country. Without them we'd have cities that look like places in China or India with pollution and garbage everywhere. With that said, they're a bit out of control lately. Things like trying to regulate CO2, fleet fuel economy standards, oppressive diesel vehicle regulations and of course the infamous EPA gas cans. The EPA needs to be significantly reigned in.

Ya..like your state is going to let that happen.....EVERY state has their own DNR or EPA type of office. Their is NO Power given by the states or the people for a FEDERAL EPA office to even exist. |
