re: When was the last time national politics directly effected you?

I've had to deal with the EPA on a couple of buildings I own and a piece of property that had a 51 acre lake on it where we had a partial failure of the dam back during the great SC flood a few years ago.

All I can say is frick the EPA nine ways from Sunday. Biggest bunch of bureaucratically malformed fricktards on the planet.

ETA: To clarify the above, all three were nightmares under the Obama administration and all three have been just about cleared up under Trump.
