I'm not saying that you're totally wrong about what unions have done for workers,and maybe I painted with just a little bit too broad of a brush in an attempt to come up with an analogy,but as an outsider who's never belonged to a union,let me just tell you how it looks to an outsider.

The unions seem to have achieved their goals when it came to worker safety,wages,benefits and hours. Those were all good things for the workers and for the economy,in that it put money in the pockets of workers and the time to spend it. It just seems like after they achieved those goals,the leaders had nothing to do,so they became just a political special interest. They got union friendly candidates elected,and those politicians made worker safety,minimum wage,etc,the law,giving the unions even less to do. By being a special interest that only supported one side,they kept putting a bigger and bigger bulls eye on their backs until it made them a "Must destroy" target of the other party. The loss of UAW manufacturing jobs has pretty much ruined the economy and things will never be the same as the "Post war" baby boom years again.

Now fast forward to me trying to make the same point about the EPA. Did they do good things? You bet they did. Unfortunately,they've become nothing but a political special interest too. I'd direct you to what they did in the public comment period for the new WOTUS rules. They were found guilty of what amounted to political lobbying. They support a political cause. They're not a neutral government agency. They've painted the same bulls eye on their backs and have become a target for the opposing political party.

They're like that old math problem where you have two bugs in a jar and the population doubles every 20 minutes. If it takes three hours to fill the jar half full,it doesn't take three more hours to completely fill it,it takes 20 minutes. The EPA regulation jar is half full. I'm not saying we should put a lid on the jar and suffocate them,but it's time to introduce a sterilant to their environment and stop them where they are. In fact,it probably should have been introduced four or five breeding cycles ago. If we have to take some bugs out of the jar,then that's what we have to do.

If they go the way of union manufacturing,I fear that the results won't be good.
