Yeah and that’s how we end up with populists like Pol Pot or the Ali Khameni. -

Populism is bad because it’s either revolutionary or reactionary and harms the median voter. -

How is the EPA enforcing the clean air act “eroding American citizens freedoms?” Trump is a symptom of a greater problem with the GOP - populism! -

Don’t you get it? The GOP is, successfully, eroding a system of regulations and balances that protect the modern American citizen in a world with more information asymmetry and negative externalities than you can list. -

No, they’re seeing how the GOP is dismantling the modern American state. -
Agreed, ACB also ruled with the liberals on the earlier EPA ruling. Interesting. Or take power away from people with expertise and give it to idiots in regional circuit courts

People are seeing how Trumps picks on SCOTUS are obliterating our government, and with the potential for two more replacements next term, that is something the Dems need to hammer. -
They’re appointed by Congress, I.e. the citizens. They don’t just magically appear out of the sky. Do you get off every time you call someone a “Marxist” by the way? It makes you look pretty uneducated.

We’re making government less efficient in an era where we need MORE efficiency and faster reactions to situations.

How did these agencies exist? Did they fall from the sky? No, they were created by acts of Congress, chosen by the people. And they have congressional oversight over the agencies so don’t give me this. It’s conservative fearmongering, that’s all it is.

Did you click on any of the links I shared or? -
Congress created agencies to specifically address gaps and vagueness in laws. That’s their purpose. You gonna write a law that addresses every single possible nuance in an act? No , this is just another extension of Reaganites’ pitiful campaign of deregulation, because to them it’s still 1820 and the steam engine hasn’t been invented yet. See my above post.

Do you understand the implications of this ruling and how we effectively have gimped legislation like the Clean Air Act? Or dump toxic pollutants into the water, and now the EPA has lost a gigantic part of its authority to stop that. But hey, small government!!!* *unless you’re transgender

Corporations are not your friends, kiddo. Enjoy another Love Canal incident.
