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.

Democrats would rather pass a bad budget than go into shutdown.

Uncontrolled capitalism is going to kill us all. But at least the share holders will be pleased along the way.
I think about that same sentiment from this comic too often.
This isn’t capitalism, it’s anti-government and anti-governance.
With capitalism as the primary mover.
It’s cheaper for manufacturing if they don’t want to worry about toxic waste products. The desire for more profit is behind this.
I think it is more too much centralization and a lack of governance which is even bad for capitalism as runaway capitalism sucks all the oxygen out of the air to everyone’s ultimate detriment even the billionaires.
I approve of cutting 40% of each gop house member off and using the waste fat (there will be a lot) to heat my house through the winter.
Cut Republicans by 40%
The free market is going to kill us all.
This is a way to pass the buck to Biden for the government shutdown. He’s likely to veto that, if it even gets there.
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.
Also fuck this guy:
while Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) was recorded as voting for it.
If anything, that there’s still someone other than Manchin calling themselves a Democrat while being deep enough in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry to vote for this bullshit is the newsworthy story here, not the GOP passing another turd that has no chance of clearing the Senate.
