The US Environmental Protection Agency is out
of control. It could be abolished tomorrow and the environment would still
be adequately protected, because each of the fifty states has its own environmental agency. Some have
more than one: California has six environmental protection offices. One could argue
that the environment would be better protected without the US EPA, because a single solution
to any given problem doesn't always work when applied nationwide.
The Case for
Ending the EPA. States — and often localities — already have their own
environmental agencies. The NYCDEP is just one example. So why do we have different levels of
government all doing the same thing? Why the expensive duplication in a time of budget crunches? ... Politicians
often wring their hands and wonder how we can balance our federal budget with spending cuts alone. Well, a
good start would be to dispose of an economically toxic type of waste, one that has an $8.4 billion annual
budget. It's called the EPA.
