#1 EPA may be an executive agency but its purse strings, and the Clean Air Act itself, are under the control of Congress. There is a rumor that the US Congress is still in existence as a law making body. This is similar to the rumor that the USA has an Attorney General.

#3 Jerry Pournelle: I note that when it comes time to look at budgets there are more in Congress willing to cut the Navy back than to eliminate the armed SWAT teams of the Inspector General of the Department of Education. I wonder if we are better protected by another destroyer, or by an Education Department SWAT team? I could list a lot more things the government does that don't seem to be doing us much good...
