Endangered Species In EPA Is Accountabilityu And Transparency

The EPA is charged with the task of protecting our environment and species that are in danger of becoming extinct
But not to obstruct and cover up when its actions give a river a golden toxic tinct
Millions of gallons of toxic chemicals that kill released into a river from the Gold King Mine
If done by a private company the executives would be lawyering up to face potential prison time
But EPA head Gina McCarthy who without hesitation will wage a war on coal
Is stonewalling the Congress and sending its request for documents into a bureaucratic black hole
The EPA in a typical bureaucratic circle the wagons mode
Kept the states and the Navajo Nation in the dark while the toxic chemicals flowed
In a déjà vu moment from our nation’s darkest and most despicable past
Like the blankets with small pox, gave the Navajos in oil tainted containers the drinking waters asked
In the EPA the cost benefit analysis for their job killing regs
Is usually a scam and should be tossed like the coffee dregs
Like so many heads from Sibelius to the head of the IRS to the head of the VA
Negligence or incompetence is the rule and mantra of the day
Time to recognize that accountability in the EPA and most agencies of the feds
Is the true endangered species while we taxpayers as a result are being mortally bled
