What Pruitt says:

As Americans, we desire that future generations inherit a clean, healthy environment that supports a thriving economy and we have made great progress improving air quality, cleaning up contaminated lands, and ensuring our bodies of water are safe for recreation and commerce.



What he should have said:

As Americans, we desire that future generations inherit a clean, healthy environment without the encroachment of industry polluters or subjected to the greed of avaricious businesses. We have made great progress improving air quality, cleaning up contaminated lands, and ensuring that all water sources are safeguarded and protected against over recreation and commercial profiteers.

("Did you see what I did there? 'on
this Earth.' hehehehe I kill me! Small wonder I'm a Cabinet Secretary!&quot
