The Democrats’ massive climate spending package, which President Joe Biden signed into law on Tuesday, will give over $40 billion to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), just as the bill allocates almost $80 billion to expand the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The bill, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act, includes $369 billion in total climate spending, and will give the EPA more than $40 billion in the current fiscal year to combat climate change, enforce environmental standards and secure “environmental justice,” according to a Congressional Research Service report. The EPA’s enacted budget for 2022’s fiscal year was about $9.5 billion, according to the agency figures, meaning the bill will more than quadruple the EPA’s current annual spending.
The IRS will use its $80 billion in new funding to hire 87,000 new agents as well as ramp up auditing and other enforcement mechanisms. Democrats claim that these measures will raise $124 billion in revenues from increased taxpayer compliance, according to their summary of the bill.
The bill will give the EPA $27 billion in accordance with the Clean Air Act to start a ‘Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund’ that will finance competitive grants to fund national and regional “green banks,” which will use the money to fund initiatives and projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions, according to the bill’s text. Renewable energy initiatives funded by the “green banks” are intended to help underprivileged and low-income communities; the agency will also only have 180 days to allocate these funds to “green banks.”

Democrats are allocating a further $8 billion in total to reduce air pollution at ports and fund general pollution reduction grants. The bill also allots $3 billion for EPA “environmental and climate justice block grants” that will help facilitate political “engagement in disadvantaged communities” through advisory groups, rulemakings and workshops.
The agency will also receive $1.55 billion to pay for its methane emissions reduction program to offer financial incentives to oil and gas producers who reduce their methane emissions, according to the bill. Additionally, the EPA will get $906 million in total to finance programs that address air pollution in schools, report corporate emissions and help declare “environmental products” as well as various other initiatives.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan touted the bill’s passage through the Senate in a statement last Friday. The Democrats’ huge spending bill will help accelerate EPA regulatory efforts and other operations in order to further the Biden administration’s aggressive climate agenda.

Billions to waste on hoax, mostly used for destroying the nature by covering it by toxic waste!

If you own a farting cow outside of the farting cow permit zone, Bang Bang...come and get your steaks!

So what are we going to do about that?
politically connected companies ready to hoover it all up
and politicians will be collecting their back end commissions...er i mean political donations
And to underscore our hopelessness, the border invasion is larger than even FReepers realize.
“Climate change” is a hoax and a farce, but is being weaponized to project an aura of power.
No matter the amount of money is shoved at “mitigating” this hoax, the parameters will not change, except the nation and the world LOSE wealth to effectively allow humanity to adapt to whatever conditions are changing.
Despite endless propaganda to the contrary, nobody wants dirty air or impure water, these are the result of shortcuts taken when the funds to alleviate those conditions are reduced or cut off completely. Privately raised capital can and does accomplish these objectives, of cleaning up the environment MUCH better than ANY government-sponsored program or dictate.
The free market works, every time it is tried. But the busybodies of the nanny state are shocked that anybody would expect to make a PROFIT by exercising the duties and responsibilities of keeping the market free.
They totally misunderstand the concept of “free”.
If someone you voted for approved this, are you going to keep voting for them? The lesser of 2 evils is still evil. You rino vote enable and expands their power. You are the problem. /rant.

I’m pretty sure not a single Republican in the Senate voted for this monstrosity.
The bill will give the EPA $27 billion in accordance with the Clean Air Act to start a ‘Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund’ that will finance competitive grants to fund national and regional “green banks,” which will use the money to fund initiatives and projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions, according to the bill’s text.

The constitution means nothing if these thugs just ignore it and break the laws anyway!!
...REWILDING of the West is planned...CapitalPress.com. A paper written by Oregon State professors calls for fewer cattle, more wolves to rewild the west. 29% reduction in grazing in the West is being proposed..the size of Nevada.
