When the left screeches at you and tells you that the Trump Administration and DOGE are cutting grandma and grandpa's government program, remember this moment. The moment when you found out that before he left office, the Biden Administration was "throwing gold bars off the Titanic" and shoveling billions—TENS OF BILLIONS—out the door at the last minute to "newly created" pseudo environmental organizations headed by Democrat donors and top friends of Biden and Obama. This was all under his alleged "green new deal" plan which wasn't as advertised at all.

As Matt Whitlock said, "These cartoon characters just robbed Medicare of $230B to fund electric vehicle tax credits for wealthy liberals and to give grifters like Stacey Abrams $2B.

So this is pretty rich."

"The Department of Justice is investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion program that was part of Joe Biden’s $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act. Created in the spring of 2023, and managed by the Environmental Protection Agency, the fund was supposed to be a first-of-its-kind program to address the climate crisis while revitalizing communities that it considered “historically left behind.”

But it appears little of the $27 billion revitalized anything—except the coffers of a range of environmental nonprofits associated with former Obama and Biden administration officials.

“The Biden administration used so-called ‘climate equity’ to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their far-left friends,” Lee Zeldin, the Trump administration’s new EPA administrator, told The Free Press. “It is my utmost priority to get a handle on every dollar that went out the door in this scheme and once again restore oversight and accountability over these funds. This rush job operation is riddled with conflicts of interest and corruption.”...
...These are some of the biggest grants to individual organizations in American history,” said Judge Glock, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who wrote a book about federal bailouts.

Moreover, the eight groups, the biggest of which are the Climate United fund and Coalition for Green Capital, which received grants of $6.9 billion and $5 billion, respectively, have been empowered by the EPA to choose the hundreds of smaller nonprofit organizations across the country that will do the climate change work. They will get loans, not grants, which they are supposed to repay. There is nothing in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund that calls for oversight of those loans.

“This clearly was intended from its beginning to be a slush fund,” Glock told The Free Press. “The goal was to give them money with minimal strings and allow them to lend it to people they favored. It is an absolutely wild program. I haven’t seen the likes of in previous government-lending history.”
