Keeping in line with his promise to rein in the excesses of the federal government, President Trump is setting his sights on one of the biggest offenders in Washington.
To progressives, there is no cause so trivial that it can go without federal funding. Whether it’s paying for women’s birth control or saving the owls, liberals will endeavor to save the world so long as other people are paying for it. It is this mindset that has led to the massive bloating of the government, and it is why the American taxpayer has seen their financial burden increase so much over the past few decades.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the case of the Environmental Protection Agency. Tasked with looking after the country’s natural resources and well-being, the agency has since become an intrusive force that imposes its will on unsuspecting citizens and tramples their liberty.

Per David Huang–
Since Donald Trump’s gag order prevents the EPA and its employees from speaking on its own behalf about the current state of affairs, I feel compelled to say a few words about the importance of the work of the EPA’s Office of Grants and Debarment and the absurdity of the halting of grants and contracts that support programs around environmental testing, cleanups and research.
I’ve worked as a legal clerk in the EPA’s Office of Grants and Debarment and can attest to the important work that goes on in that office. The U.S. government is the single largest employer of Americans, and thousands upon thousands of jobs are created each year through government contracts. The EPA’s Office of Grants and Debarment is tasked with the critical job of ensuring that the United States government only does business with responsible private citizens who follow all laws of the United States–including those protecting our air, earth and waters.
Trump’s freeze on all contracts and grants through the EPA is mind-boggling because it suspends an instrument that counters the waste of taxpayers’ dollars. If not for this office, the government would be doing business with polluters, tax evaders, and other generally unscrupulous folk who don’t “make America great.”
If Donald’s really about creating more jobs, he shouldn’t stunt a branch of our government that plays a critical HR role.
Also, what’s with the gag order against EPA employees? Is the President of the United States, the highest office of the land, afraid of getting his feelings hurt?

The EPA polluted the Colorado River. Did they fine them selves ? Who got fired ? When, Chris, did you complain ? Tell me about the 330,000 birds killed, including Bald Eagles last year , with clean wind power. Just another idiot.
