whether it's clean air, solid waste, disposadisposal, all the programs deserve a complete review. and i hope we will work together to have a transparent look at where the dollars are flowing at the epa. it will help the public to know that we are trimming spending where appropriate and eliminating duplicate programs. there's left over money we are not spending. i'm referring to the billions of dollars that the epa has that will carry over from the prior year appropriations. some of it not obligated why can we find just a billion dollars in savings when we have billions of dollars that were not spent this year. rather than sitting on the funds, epa should bring down spending requests in its budget or work to spend down these funds. the actions incur public and private cost. this agency needs to know what this agency is costing taxpayers. more important, especially during the economic times is what those actions could mean in terms of the economy. we need to get on course with certainty. this will spark american job creators and help develop the conditions important for job creation
