"Even the names of the four Ministries by which we are governed exhibit a sort of impudence in their deliberate reversal of the facts. The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation".

I know its funny and witty to quote 1984, and force it to fit but I think about this one a lot more than the others that we like to throw around at things we simply do not like. By gutting funding and selectively enforcing rules, things like the EPA do effectively begin to actively work counter to their names.
