 Here's How Many People Have Left the EPA Since Scott Pruitt Took Over

The Environmental Protection Agency has shrunk considerably since Scott Pruitt took over as administrator. In fact, the agency is back to President Reagan-era staff levels.

Over 700 EPA personnel have either retired, quit, or taken voluntary buyouts since Pruitt took over, Think Progress found after combing through federal employment statistics. Some are quitting in "disgust."

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

How many?  Not enough

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Keep it going Scott. Your goal should be you turn out the lights when your term ends, or hopefully sooner.

Do you know how difficult it is, to terminate career government employees (not political appointees)?

Part of the discussion about the so called "Deep State," is about how political appointees, have been moved into protected, career positions.

Yes, actually I am very familiar with the process.  Why?

Good.
More than "good".... GREAT!

I hope that an increasing number of them continue to become disgusted enough to quit or transfer out to some other agency where (perhaps) they'll do less damage.

So long.
Thanks for your service, but....
Goodbye!
