Why would you think that people that don't even believe in these departments, that don't have any particular knowledge about these departments would do constructive house cleaning? I spent 20 years working with these departments. I spent two years at the University of Washington getting a masters degree in public administration where we studied these departments. By and large they function very well. And by large they do not have a lot of waste, because Republicans have been underfunding them for years. They are primarily skin and bones as it is. All anyone is going to do from the trumpet ministration is destroy them further. And when you ask how I know whether Trump has knowledge about these departments, it is because I do have knowledge about them. In fact I could teach a college course on what they do and how they operate. I have listened to trump, and I know he has no idea what he's talking about. I am a professional in this area. <, Ok but there is an argument that congress or some less politically biased entity could accomplish the same thing these agencies are supposed to, and possibly more effectively. In any event what is wrong with the idea I proposed "long overdue house cleaning."

It has been doing its job. Where do you think it has failed? And how do you know it has not been doing its job? <<EPA: Established 45 years ago. Why has it not done it's job?

EPA: Established 45 years ago. Why has it not done it's job? You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. It has done its job. And pretty effectively. When was the last time we had a river catch on fire? Or problems with acid rain? Or, well a whole long list of things that used to be common. When I was a kid, there was a refinery close by a local college. When the humidity was high, the sulfuric acid in the air would eat the pantyhose off of women there. It ate holes in the concrete of the football stadium. We used to have problems like the Chinese do now. Look at Beijing. The air kills people there.
