Biden Creates New ‘Woke’ Federal Agency with Executive Order
The recent executive order signed by President Joe Biden to establish an Office of Environmental Justice is concerning. This new agency will use taxpayer funds to advance the Democrats’ radical green agenda. The executive order directs federal agencies to consider the “disproportionate and adverse” impacts of climate change on certain communities, as opposed to “disproportionately high and adverse” impacts. This approach is a blatant attempt by the Democrats to impose their ideology on the country.
Furthermore, the Justice40 Initiative, which directs 40% of all funds from certain federal projects to communities that are “marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution,” is another example of the Democrats’ radical agenda. This initiative will not only increase the size of the government, but it will also stifle economic growth and innovation. The government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers, especially when it comes to private enterprise.
The Office of Management and Budget’s Environmental Justice Scorecard is also concerning. This scorecard will track federal agencies’ efforts on environmental justice initiatives, which is another way for the Democrats to impose their agenda on the country. This scorecard is likely to be used to punish agencies that do not toe the party line, rather than as a tool to improve environmental outcomes.
The recent reintroduction of the Green New Deal is also alarming. This bill is mostly focused on radical socialist policies, rather than actual environmental issues. It is another example of the Democrats’ desire to impose their ideology on the country, rather than addressing the real problems facing Americans. The Green New Deal will do nothing to address climate change, but it will have a significant negative impact on the economy and jobs.
President Biden’s recent pledge of $1 billion in support for the United Nations’ Green Climate Fund is also concerning. This fund will invest U.S. tax dollars in green technology, particularly in developing nations. This is yet another example of the Democrats’ desire to impose their ideology on the country, rather than addressing the real problems facing Americans. The United States should not be sending taxpayer dollars overseas to fund green initiatives in other countries.
President Biden’s rhetoric about Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other Republicans is also concerning. Biden is attempting to paint Republicans as dangerous and extreme, when in fact they are simply trying to protect the country from the Democrats’ radical agenda. The Republican Party is not opposed to environmental protection, but they are opposed to the Democrats’ attempts to use the environment as an excuse to push their socialist policies.
