Environmental Pollution Agency

One of the hallmarks of the Bush administration is consistently appointing people to key positions based on political viewpoints instead of subject matter expertise. The EPA is perhaps the biggest victim of this policy. In an ironic twist of fate, environmentalists now are frequently suing the EPA in order to make the government enforce stricter environmental regulations. Most frightening are the fact that people who care about the environment have to sue to get the Clean Air and Clean Water acts enforced. Wasn't the EPA created to protect these things? Right now it feels like the EPA was created to help polluters.
