No he is not correct. The Obama admin added tens of thousands plus of government jobs over the last couple of years while the private sector has been hemorrhaging 10 times that in the same period. Where do you guys get your propaganda, errr, information from?
Have you ever done business in China where there is no EPA? I have. Cancer and lung disease are through the roof. Also, just take a look at the history of USA and understand why EPA was created. We used to be a very filthy and polluted country.
Do you really think that if we abolished the EPA that the American people would allow filthy air to exist?
Not likely.
Democrats in this country attach unfair regulations to businesses and stifle our economy.
Yes, certain regulations make sense, but when you consider the funding to the EPA, highly influenced by tree huggers, and how un-beneficial it has been, you must admit that has been a big waste of money.
Jobs are lost because owl lovers won't let people thrive.
I'm telling you its quite possible that getting rid of, or significantly reducing the EPA and leveraging other agencies would be a better solution, yes. See my previous post for one example.
But you still would support regulating the exact same pollutants just as the EPA is doing currently?
LOL dont confuse conservatives with hard facts. They get all the information they need to know from Faux News.
It completely blows their mind. They literally can't accept the fact that under George W. Bush public sector hiring was up and private sector hiring plummeted and now under Obama the public sector is shedding jobs and the private sector is adding jobs. It causes their worldview to collapse.
There is so much bloat in defense that it will boggle your mind. But any cuts to defense will hit red states/ counties hard. So its become all about stealing tax dollars and giving it to your preferred group.
So what you're saying is that the people against defense cuts are opposed because it would cause unemployment in red state America--that's why they want the cuts from other federal departments, even if those departments are much more efficiently run, and with much less waste?
EDIT--meaning federal jobs are great if they benefit my "side", and bad if they don't?

your looking at it the wrong way
its not the EPA, its the regulations
our liberal government loves to OVER regulate...but that doesnt mean get rid of the branch, or the regulation..we need to SMARTLY regulate
republicans tend to UNDER regulate which leads to conmen...liberal tend to OVER regulate which leads to a stiffled economy
dont get rid of the EPA..but SMARTLY regulate
just like the D.o. education..we do need it as far as the grant side..and the STANDARD side...but do we need 7000 DoE employees or would be be better with a committe of 15 SCHOLARS to set the standard for the states to follow and inplement

Yes, let's do less regulating of chemicals and pollutants that cause birth defects and health problems. Good idea.

Absolutely, what do you think lobbying for federal tax dollars is all about? In good times, everyone gets to hog as much as they can. In tough times, as now, lobbyists are busy eating into each other's share regardless of the merits of the project. Why the heck do you think there are ads for TWO different engines for the F-35 JSF all over DC? Do you need two companies to manufacture an engine for one jet? Do you even need the jet? The money has to come from some pot.

As Ron White says, you can't fix stupid.
aparently you cant read..or you are too stuburn to realize how much of a butthead you are
