More bad sequestration cuts


THIS IS WHERE THE REPUBLICANS WANT THE COUNTRY TO GO - to environmental HELL.





(Actual title of the article is "House Republicans propose cuts to EPA, Arts")
"The $24 billion spending measure would gut the budget of the Environmental Protection Agency with a one-third cut...

Republicans control the House and are insisting on living within a tight $967 billion "cap" on agency operating budgets and are shifting more than $47 billion from domestic programs to the Pentagon – which runs counter to a 2011 budget agreement.

The measure also contains a roster of policy "riders" aimed at reining in the EPA such as language that would prohibit the agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions from electric utilities."
Of course. As if we could be surprised by these asswipes.  But this case they're wiping their ass on US.
