You could get dizzy watching the guy running around in circles so as to avoid answering a direct yes or no question. Congress should FIRE him and do away with the EPA.

I think one of the most interesting chapters in Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny" was the one about the EPA.....what a mess!
The EPA COULD be a very valuable resource. It has turned into a monster. It needs killed.

When it's used as a dumping station for all of the environmental legislation they can't get through congress then it has too much power......just one of the many that need to go.
That is how the left operates. MORE proof that they have NO use for our Constitution and are trying to destroy it. ANYTHING, ANYWAY to get around it. Domestic enemies.

You serious?
a federal government agency being valuable?
I think it was misconceived, a monster before it was implemented and removes rights of the individual from its decision making process. NO other agency has been as bad for the country as the EPA, even the Wilson and his Justice Department could only dream of the power the EPA has.
Greg, the EPA COULD have been a very valuable resource for industry AND the people had it been set up properly. It was not. That is the problem. It was given POWER. It should have been set up as a research agency ONLY. Funded by a 2/3 by 1/3 mix of business and personal taxes. They COULD have just done PURE research on environmental issues and provided the findings, at no additional cost, to whom ever requested them.
I did NOT say I liked the EPA. All I said is that it COULD have been useful.

I guess I don't see this at all.
I mean the government is not there to replace universities or companies who would like to sell the techonolgy or improve their product. TO be exact, outside of Nasa (which is questionable), there is not one government agency that can replace any private organization to research and discover things.
It comes down to this, either you want small and less intrusive government or you want to continue on the path we are on. Supporting the EPA, of which is mandated not to look at the economical impact of its decision is puzzling for me when you keep saying how intrusive the government is.

I did NOT support the EPA at all. I have NO idea where you got that from. All I said is that it COULD have been useful, nothing more.
NASA has held us back. It was sort of needed during the arms race with the Soviets, it's main function was arms delivery, but it is now just an anchor.
There MAY be a need for other federal government functions but NO need for agencies with unfettered regulatory powers. ALL regulation at the Federal level MUST come out of congress. There is FAR too many federal regulations.
