You think the EPA should be abolished. You don't think this stuff is important? "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates pesticide residues in food under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and has an important role in establishing and maintaining appropriate tolerances to assure a safe food supply. Tolerances minimize the uncertainty about food safety and serve as an enforcement tool in checking food commodities as they travel in interstate commerce. EPA establishes tolerances after reviewing exposure and hazard data and concluding that the risks to the public are acceptable. Feedback in the form of monitoring data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the individual states is essential to EPA in reassessing tolerances and keeping the tolerancesetting process consistent with real-world changes in agricultural practices. Because of the growing impact of recycling and pollution prevention programs on minimizing waste generation from crops and other food processing by-products, EPA will be examining its regulations, guidelines and policies to be sure current nonfood use pesticides do not pose food residue problems. Scientific data acceptable by today's standards to assess exposure and hazard of pesticide residues and effective label restrictions are important elements in reevaluating older chemicals through the reregistration process. The 1988 Amendments to FIFRA are expected to speed up the pace of this process.

When a republican says he won't pass tax cuts for the rich and then passes tax cuts for the rich we say, "That's what Putin would do." SCOTUS gave rich people the power to buy Congress and the Presidency just like the oligarchs in Russia. That's what Putin would do. The gop tried to take insurance away from 30 million people after promising to give insurance to everyone. That's what Putin would do. Republicans investigate anyone who runs against them. That's what Putin would do.
