Why does the EPA need a a $715 million police force, $170 million PR Machine, a nearly $1 billion employment agency for seniors, and a $1.2 billion in-house law firm?
 
In the Democratic Presidential debate last week, Sen. Bernie Sanders stated that the greatest threat to the United States was "climate change." 
 
The EPA is ready for the fight in ways most taxpayers couldn't have imagined.
 
Recently, our organization published the OpenTheBooks Oversight Report - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. We captured and analyzed $108 billion worth of EPA contracts (FY2000-2014), grants (FY2000-2014), salaries (FY2007-2014) and bonuses (FY2000-2014).
 
 
Since 2006, the EPA Criminal Enforcement Program spent approximately $715 million fighting 'enviro-crime.' With 200 Special Agents, the EPA also spent millions of dollars on military-style weaponry:
 
Guns and ammo up to 30MM (and, also up to 300MM), body armor, camouflage and deceptive equipment, unmanned aircraft, night vision, radar equipment, tactical sets, kits, and outfits, transport vehicles passenger and troop, and much more...
 
 
  • Why does the EPA need 1,020 lawyers and 200 Public Affairs Officers?  
  • Did the EPA spend more on lawyers ($1.2 billion since 2007) than chemists, general health scientists, ecologists, chemists, microbiologists, geologists, hydrologists, toxicologists, biologists, physical scientists, and health physicists combined? 
  • What about the $144 million in performance bonuses were awarded at EPA since 2007 - with the top bonuses at $60,000 a year?
  • Is the EPA funding the 'Environmental Justice' movement across the world? 
  • Does the EPA 'Senior Citizen Pay' program allow earning of only $7.87 per hour?
