Republicans Dismantle EPA Then Get Pissed When They Can’t Do Anything

[GoLeft TV]

House Republicans spent last week grilling the EPA over their role in the Flint water poisoning. But not once did any of the Republicans on that panel have the common sense to admit that they were the ones who destroyed the EPA, effectively preventing them from even being able to carry out their responsibilities. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. "[c]ommon sense" is not

required of these sociopaths.

They're far too genteel and sophisticated to make such an admission in public.

They sure did enjoy criticizing the EPA, instead of the real culprit(s).

And, as ever, they got away with it.

If only the Democrats were half as devious.

2. Republicans kill government and then complain government doesn't work.

These budget numbers are not scare tactics to get members of Congress up in arms that EPA is not doing its duty. Unlike border enforcement, these cutbacks in enforcing the law will be applauded by many members of the Congress and clearly many of their big donors. EPA plans not only far fewer inspections, but far fewer yearly enforcement actions than have been seen in over more than a decade.

3. "Republicans kill government and then complain government doesn't work."

Exactly.

Reagan reinforced that, and how it has stuck.

What a gullible bunch these Republican voters be.
