The Environmental Pollution Agency

I think they should change the name of the the Environmental Protection Agency to the Environmental Pollution Agency - at least until we get an administration in there that wants to protect the environment instead of destroy it.

They want to allow the dumping of barely treated sewage into "rivers, bays and waterways". Rivers, Bays and Waterways... hey, that rhymes...

There was fresh water back in the days
In our Rivers, Bays and Waterways

Now the Bush Administration
is messing up the country's hydration

And The EPA is starting to stray
Amidst all of our frustration.

This would have a really bad effect on Florida and stuff, because our beaches would be stinky and the tourists will stop coming if the beaches are stinky. And then we'd have to have a state income tax if the tourists stop coming. This could contaminate drinking water and mess up the fishing industry too. I'm kind of surprised that George would want to do this to his baby brother, Jeb!. My house is right by Hillsborough Bay, and I don't want it to be stinky either.

This new and exciting proposal would also take away the rights of citizens to challenge polluting sewer operations.

Not only that, but Mr. Bush and his friends want to cut a loan program by $500 million that helps communities upgrade their sewer systems.

Why do George Bush and his friends in the EPA hate the environment?
