Assuming those numbers are correct - citations, woody? -

I mentioned at the beginning of my post I got those numbers from the report referenced in the OP. The article linked in the OP has a link to the site of the group that conducted the report. Then you can find the actual report on the EPA on their website.

I read through most of it. You can clearly tell its slanted and has an agenda going in (for the most part) based on the wording.

I enjoyed finding data though that they presented, but kind of kept in the back because it didn't meet their preconceived conclusion.

My post has two of those examples. There are probably more (One about how the EPA free THIS MUCH under Obama but ONLY X under bush, but if you do the math to find the per year growth, they're both pretty close.

The only thing I can think of is 'redistributing' money between agencies.

Prior to that, in the 27 years from 1981 to 2008, it grew from 3.03Bn to 7.472Bn. That's growth of a little under 147%, around 3.4% per year.

In fact, if you want to look at it with a political slant, the budget more than doubled in the 3 terms of Reagan, Reagan & Bush (LLC?) from 3 to 6.7bn. In the 23 years since, it's increased by less than 1% per year. My American history is obviously not up to the standard of most people here, but Bush and Reagan were republicans, right?

Again, this is all assuming that woody's numbers are correct. Sources?

Obamao bought millions and millions and millions of

dollars of guns, ammo, and swat gear.

You are hopeless - you are woodypeckerhead.

The subject is not how the budget has kept growing, asswipe woodpecker.

Every president since 1981 has grown the EPA during their term in office – but only GW Bush left office with a lower EPA budget than when he started:Reagan $3.03B (1981) - $5.027B (1988); HW Bush $5.155B (1989) - $6.668B (1992); Clinton $6.892B (1993) - $7.562(2000); GW Bush $7.832B (2001), $8.3 billion (2004), $7.472B (2008); Obama $7.642B (2009) - $8.139B (2015)

That may very well be the most ignorant thing I've read on the interweb in quite a while..

Cloward-piven!

Obamao regime buying swat gear, ammo and guns out the wazoo in many, if not all,

depts. Which is really tough to figure out why all the duplication.

And, he wants to disarm Americans with guns.

It's a culture. Sounds like Obamao wants to have a civil/race war, stupid as that sounds.

The only things those two objects have in common is how they are both easily obtained and misused by idiots.

Not to mention how they have little to do with your EPA topic. But this post is, as they say, "your movie"; we're all just watching it.

2) I looked at the actual report just now. There are a few interesting pieces I'll post later.

3) if cal wants to make this thread to drive the Obamao agenda, he should present data to back it up.
