The Environment

It's all to play to his base. They've been trained that Regulations = Bad, and the EPA is their poster child for all the bad regulations. Killing the EPA is great short-term because the base is happy, but long-term, obviously, we'll have problems. But Trump doesn't care about that, the 60-70 year olds who voted for him don't care about that, because they'll be dead in ten years before the environment totally goes to merde.

The younger people who voted for him will have to suffer the consequences when they wake up from their Trump binge, but hey - it's just a hangover. Boot & rally, amirite?

 
Did you know while we've been watching Easy D go kookoo for Coco Puffs there has been a bill put forward to dismantle the EPA? If you want to take some action on this (or anything else - check the Resistance Items thread here on HB for suggestions). Calls, post cards and attending meetings does help!

Three R's have put a bill (#HR:861) up in the House to dismantle the EPA. If you want to reach out to sponsors directly: Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Steven Palazzo (R-MS). Phone and offices addresses can be found at www.govtrack.us -

This goes through the committee chairs of four divisions first before the full house - so if you want to reach out to them as well to urge them to vote no on HR861 so that it never makes it out of the House reach out to: Bill Shuster, Lamar Smith, Greg Walden & Michael Conaway. Let's keep this from getting further consideration.

You are better off calling their Washington offices and explaining you're not a constituent, but instead calling with respect to their role on the review of HR861and that you want to express your disgust at the consideration. Please vote NO on dismantling the EPA.

 
Remember when we absolutely could not vote for Hillary because of pay to play?

Good times.

The graph/data isn't that alarming. It's asking whether you support an increase in funding.

It would be much more interesting if it had the 3 choices: increase, decrease, stay the same.

Although the change over time is interesting. I think the outlook on the economy has gotten worse and that causes the gap. Or maybe it's Fox News.
