(3,180 posts)Once heard a high ranking MO DNR employee say he believes in "letting the market decide".
An EPA regional director before the election said that most of his folks were voting for Bush because they were sick of doing community outreach (as directed by Clinton) and wanted to get back to cleaning up and enforcing the law (wonder if he notices that didn't really work out).
Finished 20 years in the U.S. Coast Guard and most of them don't realize that "smaller government and less regulation" means them because they must think they are part of the DOD. At least Zumkumft caught a clue when Trump proposed what would have been a crippling $8 billion cut to the USCG budget.
Others in the USCG work in the pollution response field and listen to Limbaugh. I asked them what he would think of the work they were doing (stunned silence).
Met a lady who worked for ATSDR and later the EPA who had not 1 but 2 pictures of Reagan in her house. Her ex-husband was struggling with alcoholism and she would moan and ask "why aren't there government programs to help people like him".
