That’s H. R. 861. Not the title of H. R. 861, it’s the whole bill.
The Environmental Protection Agency shall terminate on December 31, 2018.
The bill, introduced by Florida Republican Matt Gaetz and co-sponsored by Kentucky’s Thomas Massie, Mississippi’s Steven Palazzo, and Georgia’s Barry Loudermilk doesn’t bother with anything like wondering what happens to the data the agency collects, or the enforcement the agency carries out. It doesn’t sweat the details of employees or contracts. There’s nothing about what happens to the Clean Air Act, or the Clean Water Act, or the Endangered Species Act, or … anything at all.
Just ‘terminated.’
The EPA shall terminate on Dec. 31, 2018.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Why the bait and switch title? The times we live in aren't interesting enough for you?
This reads like red meat for the base, not a serious attempt at legislation for the very reasons you cite.
The sky is falling indeed.

That was my point. What does he gain by aggravating the majority on the bored, even those who might agree with him. I haven't been able to be around for quite a while and it can be a little disheartening to see the same old crap when I finally make it back.Estonut wrote:Did you not notice who the poster was?

Bait and switch? That's the exact text of the bill a bunch of Republicans introduced. This is not fake news.Estonut wrote:Did you not notice who the poster was? Count on bullshit...eyégor wrote:Why the bait and switch title? The times we live in aren't interesting enough for you?

Perhaps intro the thread with "A bill was introduced..." as opposed to some inference that the administration had unilaterally decided to shut the EPA down?Bob Juch wrote:Bait and switch?
