IHouse Republicans approved legislation Friday that would slash nearly 40 percent of the budget for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The funding bill, passed by a 213-203 vote, cuts 39 percent of the EPA’s budget and would be the smallest budget the agency has had in three decades. Republican Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.) and Marc Molinaro (N.Y.) voted against the bill, while Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) was recorded as voting for it.

    Trucks are heavily advertised over cars because selling a truck produces more profit.

    Over time, those advertisements convince Americans that they need a F-150 4x4 EXTREME DUTY ULTRA RUGGED truck.

      And what if they actually need that truck for work ? Some people do more than sit in a cubical all day.

      I need a siv for work. There isn’t a car large enough to fit my equipment in it. I could gonwoth a van I guess but I perfer the suv. The siv also gets better gas mileage and I can use it for my family when I need too.
