DOGE, EPA cut $67M in grants for lefty groups pushing Biden’s ‘environmental justice’ mandate
2025-02-23
[NYPOST] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency teamed up with the Department of Government Efficiency to put the kibosh on more than $67 million in grant money once earmarked to push ex-President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
's ''environmental justice'' mandate, The Post has learned.

The EPA and the Elon Musk-led DOGE this week flagged 21 grants totaling $77.1 million previously awarded to 20 lefty nonprofits and universities, and the Trump administration will withhold $67.4 million in payments yet to be made, officials said.

The biggest loser is Vermont-based Institute of Sustainable Communities, which has yet to receive $12.4 million of the $16 million it was promised under two separate Biden-era grants to serve as a ''National Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center.''

a drop in the bucket when you consider....
"The average American will pay $524,625 in taxes throughout their lifetime — that’s a third (34.7%) of all estimated lifetime earnings ($1,494,986) spent on taxes.

I want DOGE to find things that a Fire Hose can't handle.

#5   Trump says Elon Musk should be 'more aggressive' on DOGE cuts

This could suggest a schism between Trump and Musk, according to media sources. Or not. "Faster, faster, moar!; Sir, yes, sir!" is not what most people would call a disagreement.

#2  ^^^^^
And padding the pockets of the chosen people.

The more that comes out from DOGE leaves me believing that almost the *entirety* of government spending includes a significant diversion of funds to the pockets of those who thought up the scheme to begin with.
