Can't believe I'm agreeing with you as I thought you had zero logical reasoning skills.
That's exactly what we should do. Immediately cut a certain percentage across the board and then set a date in a year that if we haven't cut a certain amount of fat from the budget/deficit another across the board cutting automatically happens

I'm looking forward to the TD posts after every state north of Louisiana dumps their sewage and toxic waste in the Mississippi River.
Does this bill terminate the Louisiana DEQ also?

How about a 5-10% cut to everything? Military, SS benefits.....all gov. depts?
Do it.
However the Uniparty cried like petulant children when the Penny Plan was introduced. (1% cut per year until the budget is balanced.)

Why is it that eliminating is the only solution with you guys?
Because you don't just skim the top off of a tumor, you cut the whole thing out. After that useless mass is gone you can go in and make repairs.

So you're telling me without oversight people will just do whatever they want? I don't believe you.

Dump away! It's good business.

You do strike me as someone that would celebrate this.

Ever hear of the Louisiana DEQ?

Most companies report to their respective state environmental agencies for permits and accidental releases. Eliminating the EPA may not change many of the environmental laws, but I think it is a bad idea from a CERCLA standpoint. It will also create problems for states that share watersheds and have other scenarios where their pollution can impact one another.
I'm fine with reducing the EPA though. In Texas, the TCEQ and Railroad Commission are famous for pushing back against new regulations. Broad sweeping environmental laws may not be the best way to handle every type of pollution, and many regulatory issues should be up to the states.

Do it. I would be all for it.
But why is 5-10% a magic number? What if some departments have 50% bloat? What if a department is completely unnecessary?
Do you recognize the potential that there may be unneeded federal departments?

This matches up nicely with the bill to abolish the Education Dept. GOP paradise in the making.

Cool. Creat a charity and raise money to help those superfund sites get cleaned up.
You have the ability to make it happen. Dream big. Don't wait for mommy gov.

How would your state's DEQ accomplish anything resembling environmental protection in state and upstream working alone? You think big business spends money in your state fighting the EPA now? Those same businesses would crush a small state agency who has enormous budgetary restraints as we speak.

I'd be willing to trade DOEd for the EPA. Deal?

Before the EPA there were rivers in NJ that had so many combustible chemicals in them they spontaneously caught fire.
And dont forget Bhopal and a million other examples of industry killing and maiming people.
