Kill the EPA

Of all the cheering for Trump's antics, nothing seems to get Freepers as fired up as his anti-environmental plans. This surprises me some - I would have guessed it was the wall or anti-Muslim efforts or anti-Crime BS.
But for whatever reason, racism and nativism have momentarily taken a back seat to fucking the world, but especially the US.

The article is about a trial balloon to cut the EPA 50%. I will spare you the dozens of Freepers echoing beethovenfan:

Cut it 100%.

jiggyboy is pretty excited about a return to the pre-EPA days of carcinogens everywhere and rivers lighting on fire:

Scott Slesinger, legislative director of the Natural Resources Defense Council, is worried that much of what we have come to rely on the EPA to do would be undone.

Yes, exactly...

x1stcav characterizes the EPA as Tumbler busybodies:

What we have come to expect from them is a trampling of private property rights and a general SJW snooping into our private lives.

umgud goes with the party line that the EPA is a secret plan to destroy capitalism:

The EPA’s primary mission is to destroy capitalism and just generally F over their fellow man.

This same agency banned over the counter asthma inhalers due to their contribution to green house gas emissions. Bullshit, they are inhaled. This was done out of meanness, not science.

Most of them need fired, many need jailed for crimes against the country.

gaijin goes with the somewhat more hip party line that people he disagrees with are all zealots and not using facts:

Since environmentalism is a religion EPA employees to the very last man should all perform their work pro bono.

they shall Delight in proving their faith.

txrefugee wants a reform where the EPA no longer prevents pollution, it just cleans up when it reaches disaster-levels.

The EPA was Nixon’s worst idea. States should get block grants for clean ups as they are needed. Put that function under FEMA, and abolish the EPA entirely.

Sacajaweau knows extinctions are natural, and thus good. Except for the part of the environment near where he lives.

Stop introducing wolves and catering to owls, frogs and other critters. The world is constantly changing and adapting. It does a pretty good job.

While it may need help here and there, this Protection bit has gone too far.

My big thing is protecting the waters of the US. I live along Lake Ontario...and know this should be the chief target of the EPA.

thulldud knows that the richest Americans are those greedy environmentalists:

I suspect that they really serve the god Mammon, and that means cash only.

Meh. meadsjn advocates death.

All the EPA NAZIs will melt into similar state level agencies, and just continue their reign of terror against the humans.

I'd vote to air drop them half way to the Canary Islands.
