IHouse Republicans approved legislation Friday that would slash nearly 40 percent of the budget for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The funding bill, passed by a 213-203 vote, cuts 39 percent of the EPA’s budget and would be the smallest budget the agency has had in three decades. Republican Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.) and Marc Molinaro (N.Y.) voted against the bill, while Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) was recorded as voting for it.

    Fuck you got mine. The cunts will all be dead long before they feel the serious impact. Big baby jesus knows they don’t give a flying fuck about anyone else, not even their fucking progeny.

      That’s what we used to think but it’s already here and thanks to those corrupt swine, it’s only going to get worse faster as their owner donors ESCALATE rather than cut back, pretending that hypothetical carbon offsets erase real and immediate harm.
