"Trump signs order at the EPA to dismantle environmental protections", The Washington Post, March 28, 2017, retrieved March 31, 2017{{citation}}: Cite uses deprecated parameter |authors= (help) Summary: On March 28, Trump signed a "sweeping executive order" at the EPA instructing "regulators to rewrite key rules curbing U.S. carbon emissions and other environmental regulations." Trump was accompanied by "coal miners and coal executives", Scott Pruitt, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and Vice President Pence."
"EPA hit hardest as Trump budget targets regulations". Reuters. 2017-03-17. Retrieved 2017-03-17. "The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides $250 million for programs which aid countries with high risk of impacts from rising and increasingly warm and acidic sea water levels. These programs will be eliminated under the new set of budget cuts." Summary: "On March 15 the Trump Administration had announced it's plans to cut the EPA by 31%, by far the largest budget cut to any federal agency. The cut would result in a loss of 19% of the workforce or roughly 3,200 employees. The choice to remove the Clean Power Plan, which was put in place to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, effectively eliminates Obama's efforts to curb climate change. This plan also removes the $100 million allocated to fund research combating climate change."
However, Congress is the body required by law to pass appropriations annually and to submit funding bills passed by both houses to the President for signature. Congressional decisions are governed by rules and legislation regarding the federal budget process. Budget committees set spending limits for the House and Senate committees and for Appropriations subcommittees, which then approve individual appropriations bills to allocate funding to various federal programs.
If Congress fails to pass an annual budget, a series of Appropriations bills must be passed as "stop gap" measures. After Congress approves an appropriations bill, it is sent to the President, who may sign it into law, or may veto it (as he would a budget when passed by the Congress). A vetoed bill is sent back to Congress, which can pass it into law with a two-thirds majority in each chamber. Congress may also combine all or some appropriations bills into an omnibus reconciliation bill. In addition, the president may request and the Congress may pass supplemental appropriations bills or emergency supplemental appropriations bills.
During fiscal year 2016, the Federal government received approximately $3.3 trillion in tax and fee revenue and had outlays (spending) of $3.9 trillion; the difference was a $587 billion deficit. Measured as a percentage of gross domestic product (a measure of the size of the economy), revenues were 17.8% GDP, above the historical average (1980-2015) of 17.4% GDP. Outlays of 20.9% GDP were slightly above the average of 20.6% GDP. The deficit of 3.2% GDP was equal to the historical average. After a significant increase primarily due to the Great Recession, the annual deficit returned to its historical average in fiscal year 2014 and is projected to remain around that level until 2019 before slowly rising.[4]
President Donald Trump has proposed policies including significant tax cuts and increased spending on defense. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and Moody's Analytics reported in 2016 that enacting these policies would dramatically increase the annual budget deficits and national debt over the 2017-2026 periods, relative to the current policy baseline, which already includes a sizable debt increase.[5][6]
By reversing the previous administration’s steps to ban one of the most widely used pesticides in the world, we are returning to using sound science in decision-making – rather than predetermined results.
— Statement by Scott Pruitt, EPA, Administrator March 29, 2017
"In 2007 Pesticide Action Network North America and Natural Resources Defense Council’s (collectively, PANNA) submitted an administrative petition requesting a chlorpyrifos ban. On August 10, 2015, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in PANNA v. EPA ordered the EPA to respond to PANNA's petition by "revok[ing] all tolerances for the insecticide chlorpyrifos", den[ying] the Petition or [issuing] a "proposed or final tolerance revocation" no later than October 31, 2015.[1][2] The EPA was "unable to conclude that the risk from aggregate exposure from the use of chlorpyrifos [met] the safety standard of section 408(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)" and therefore proposed "to revoke all tolerances for chlorpyrifos."[2] In a October 30, 2015 statement Dow AgroSciences disagreed with the EPA’s proposed revocation and "remain[ed] confident that authorized uses of chlorpyrifos products, as directed, offer wide margins of protection for human health and safety." In a November 2016 press release, DOW argued that chlorpyrifos was "a critical tool for growers of more than 50 different types of crops in the United States" with limited or no viable alternatives."[3] The Environment News Service quoted the Dow AgroSciences' statement disagreeing with the EPA findings.[4]
Chlorpyrifos is one of the most widely used pest control products in the world. It is authorized for use in about 100 nations, including the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, where it is registered for protection of essentially every crop now under cultivation. No other pesticide has been more thoroughly tested.
— Statement Dow AgroSciences October 30, 2015
"On March 29, 2017, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt overturned the 2015 EPA revocation and denied the PANNA petition to ban chlorpyrifos."[1]

Minimum wage in the United States "A March 2017 White House report argued that higher hourly wage led to less crime.[1] The report by The Council of Economic Advisers claimed that "raising the minimum wage reduces crime by 3 to 5 percent."[1] In a 1987 article, Hashimoto argued that raising the minimum wage increases the levels of property crimes in areas affected by the minimum wage after the increase.[2] By decreasing employment in poor communities, total legal trade and production is curtailed. The report which is now twenty-years old, also claimed that in order to compensate for the decrease in legal avenues for production and consumption, poor communities increasingly then turn to illegal trade and activity.[2] Note Washington
Inmate Calling Service (ICS) Moved content from article from sandbox to Inmate telephone system article, added edits with inline citations, wikilinks, moved Inmate telephone system to change name to Inmate Calling Service February 5, 6, 2017
^Hylton, Antonia; Giraldo, Cassandra (June 27, 2017). "Losing connection: Jails are replacing visits with video chats and families are devastated". Vice News. Retrieved June 27, 2017. In California and across the U.S., detention facilities have been replacing in-person and through-the-glass visits with Skype-like services run by prison technology corporations such as Global Tel Link and Securus. Sheriffs say the move is about safety, but the calls, which can cost families as much as $1 per minute, are part of a $1.3 billion prison communications industry that pays healthy fees back to the jails themselves in exchange for exclusive contracts. The Prison Policy Initiative estimates 600 facilities in 46 states have implemented video visitation and 74 percent of jails that implement the technology eliminate in-person visits.

Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute I created this article from my sandbox article by the same name on 4 January 2015 as part of a cluster of Wikipedia edits related to caribou.
Caribou (North America) I created this article on 20 January 2014 after working extensively in my sandbox to remove content from the already existing article called Reindeer to which a google search for caribou ultimately ends. The word "caribou" redirects to Reindeer by default. At first I attempted to add content on caribou in North America to the reindeer article but it was too unwieldly. There was too much content on NA compared to the other circumpolar nations. I incorporated some of the content from my article Boreal woodland caribou
Boreal woodland caribou I created this article 20 December 2013 using content I had added first to Migratory woodland caribou. Boreal woodland caribou was reviewed by wikipedia administrator December 2013 (no changes made).

Affordability of housing in Canada I created this article 15 December 2011 based on content from the article Affordability of housing which was itself controversial. I created the article by moving content from the Canada section because it was too detailed for the globalized article. It proved to be the most debated of my articles and was almost deleted. It has remained but needs much editing, an onerous, time-consuming task with such an unwieldy topic. One of the best learning but painful experiences as wikipedia editor in terms of things to not do.
Benign colonialism Created the article 20 February 2007 with this initial entry which has since been moved to Impact and evaluation of Western European colonialism and colonization, a very controversial article with lots of issues. My motivation for creating the article was not to condone the concept of benign colonialism but to define it and trace its geneaology with inline citations.
