This gives Warmists a big sad, even though they rarely practice what they preach
“President Trump is committed to eliminating funding for the globalist climate agenda while unleashing American energy production,” the White House said of the plan.
Some Democrats and environmental groups have already vowed to oppose it.
“It’s just an out-of-touch plea for more money for guns and bombs, and less for the things people need, like housing, healthcare, education, roads, scientific research, and environmental protection,” read a statement from Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, the top Democrat on the budget committee.
Among the big ticket, climate-related items in the proposed budget are the proposed cancellation of more than $15 billion in Department of Energy funds for programs geared toward “unreliable renewable energy, removing carbon dioxide from the air, and other costly technologies that burden ratepayers and consumers,” the proposal says.
“The U.S. Government will no longer subsidize intermittent energy forms that destabilize the grid or Green New Scam projects that increase consumer costs and promote radical leftist policies,” it says.
Obviously, this is what Trump is proposing, not necessarily what will be pushed in the GOP run Congress. How many Republicans will cave to Democrats on this?
The budget would redirect about $4.7 billion from President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act toward the deployment of firm baseload power, or power that runs 24/7 and typically does not include wind or solar. It would also cut about $1.1 billion from the Energy Department’s Office of Science, which runs national laboratories and funds research into energy technology.
There’s lots and lots, and those billions add up to tens and maybe hundreds of billions.
The thing is, if there wasn’t so much graft, waste, abuse, and fraud in federal spending the Warmists could probably get what they wanted. If they had any brains they’d spend the money properly and show Trump the audits saying “look, we spent it like it was our personal money. Like we were building a deck in our back yard and wanted everything correct, like we didn’t want to get taken to the cleaners.” Really, that should be with everything.

Trump Just Raised the $39 Trillion National Debt with the Largest Budget Hike Since World War II — and Nobody Can Fgure Out How to Pay For It!
Wartime “president” Donald is putting the United States economy on a wartime footing.
President OMB Vought doubles spending for the Ministry of War!! Up to $1.5 TRILLION! PER YEAR!! Taxpayers shell out about $1 TRILLION EVERY YEAR on federal interest on our debt mostly related to “warfighting” (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran) and Republican recessions. And cuts everything else – healthcare, Social Security, disability, housing, R&D, food, agriculture, minorities, education – what Project 2025 calls “woke”.
Sleepy Donnie is Mortimer Snerd to Vought’s Edgar Bergen…
Donnie’s lips claimed the ONLY federal function is DEFENSE!!
Rimjob gets another hard-on for “Big Dicks”.
NASA has gotten pretty expensive lately:
Artemis is an absurdly expensive boondoggle & it will cost the same as ~14 hours of Medicare/Social Security spending.
