This represents why dems lost. Not to mention forcing PC nonsense down our throats.

First of all that is nothing but a bunch of right-wing baloney. You don't seem to understand, that it is the rich and the corporations that want to get rid of the EPA so they don't have to obey the rules. The rich and the corporations want the ability to pollute with no controls. And the right wing has been helping them to do that and will help them a lot more now. Apparently you don't mind living in a country that is greatly polluted. But assume that you are right, what specifically would you do about it? Any abuse that the EPA may have engaged in was the result of our democracy. But we don't know of any better system of government than a democracy. If you are going to complain about something, then you have to have a solution that is better than the one in place. The right wing complains about everything, but they never have a solution. It is like their constant complaining about Obamacare over the last eight years, but we have never seen a viable health system to replace it. Apparently that doesn't bother you. >>>"Do you understand there is no alternative to a Democratic Environmental Protection Agency if you want to live in a clean country."<<< Congress is not capable of determining which laws are necessary for environmental safe guards on its own? They should be able to do that. Can an agency oversee and care for the environment in a protective manner? Can an agency help to establish sound policy backed by regulations that serve the public? It should be able to do that in theory. It is a good enough idea that the public supported the establishment of the EPA. Has the EPA honored the public trust? No? Who or what is to blame? The problem which you don't seem to want to deal with is that we have created government which in turn has been allowed to run amok. The reality of mismanagement, waste, fraud, and rampant corruption enriching politically powerful constituencies seems to escape you and people like you entirely. Has congress held the EPA accountable so that the public could rely on the EPA to be a credible and responsible service?<<
