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
