Green Energy: The Biggest Corporate Welfare Scam Of All Time

Epoch Times ^
| 04/10/2024 | Stephen Moore
President Joe Biden keeps lecturing corporate America to “pay your fair share” of taxes. It
turns out he’s right that some companies really are getting away scot-free from paying taxes.But it isn’t Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley or the Wall Street financial company “fat cats” or big banks or Walmart. They pay billions in taxes.The culprits here are the very companies that President Biden is in bed with: green energy firms.It turns out that despite all the promises over the past decade about how renewable energy is the future of power production in America, by far the biggest tax...

Biden Is Against Corporate Welfare Except When He's for It

Government officials seek to shape the economy to the liking of politicians.Not that many Americans expect politicians to be truthful, but for the sake of naïfs walking among us at this late date, let's point out that, when President Joe Biden rails against giveaways to big business, it means a lot of
money is on its way to favored corporations. To the extent the president is serious about the anti-business animus in his speeches, it's directed only at private enterprises that go their own way; entities that follow government direction are recipients of all sorts of privileges and largesse.

Officials cited a “long and troubling history of violations” at the aquarium. The
Miami Seaquarium, an old-Florida style tourist attraction that was home to Lolita, the beloved Orca that died last year, is being evicted from the waterfront property it leases from Miami-Dade County. County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava cited a “long and troubling history of violations” in a lease termination notice sent on Thursday to the chief executive officer of The Dolphin Company, which owns the Seaquarium. The company was told to vacate the property by 21 April, according to the letter from the mayor's office. “They have been...

Over 60% of San Francisco residents support Propositions E and F, signaling a shift towards enhanced law enforcement and welfare screening.
|

Citizen Watch Report ^
Hey civic-minded folks! Big news from the Golden Gate City – over 60% of San Francisco residents have just given a nod to Propositions E and F. Let’s unpack the changes and what they might mean for the city’s future. First
up, Proposition E is handing more tools to the police to tackle crime head-on. Think of it as a power-up for law enforcement, allowing them to fight crime more effectively, pursue suspects with added vigor, and even bring drones into the mix for catching criminals. It’s like a strategic upgrade for the city’s crime-fighting team.

San Francisco passes law-and-order measures by large margins, including drug screening for welfare recipients
|

| 03/06/2024
San Francisco voters passed a pair of law-and-order ballot measures on Tuesday night, including one that would require welfare recipients suspected of using drugs to undergo screenings to receive benefits. It
marks yet another rebuke of progressive policies in the famously liberal city, following the recall of far-left District Attorney Chesa Boudin in 2022. The welfare requirement, called Proposition F, had 63 percent support as of Wednesday morning, according to the most recent election results online. Proposition E, which expanded some police surveillance powers and reined in some oversight, had support from 60 percent of voters. There are still votes...

Gov. Kathy Hochul Says New Yorkers ‘Need a Break’ from Illegal Immigration While Giving Welfare to Illegal Aliens

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) says New Yorkers “need a break” from illegal immigration as her administration opens welfare to border crossers and illegal aliens arriving in the sanctuary state. During
an interview on MSNBC this week, Hochul said the arrival of nearly 200,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to New York since the spring of 2022 has “overwhelmed” and strained public resources, suggesting more arrivals ought to be shut out to give New Yorkers “a break.” “We have been so affected. I mean, 175,000 migrants who came here,” Hochul said: They came here for a better life, they...

UNRWA, the Greatest Welfare Scam Ever-The “Palestinian refugees” are neither Palestinian nor refugees

| February 9, 2024 | Sha'i Ben Tekoa
The Israeli Army in the Gaza Strip slaying thousands of Muslim Brotherhood brothers (Hamas) came upon evidence of UNRWA employees participating in the satanic events of October 7, which should not surprise because UNRWA has been a major player in the antisemitic fantasy of a “Palestinian people” whose homeland was allegedly stolen
from them by the Jews, the lie that justifies the very existence of UNRWA in support of the “victims of Zionism.”UNRWA’s brief for 75 years has been supporting millions of “Palestinian refugees” when, truth be told, there is nothing Palestinian about these people. And neither are they refugees.The...

San Francisco's Democratic mayor London Breed pushes for adults to be screened for drug addiction before they can get $700-a-month welfare payments amid city's spiraling fentanyl crisis

| February 05 2024 | ISABELLE STANLEY FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and AP
San Francisco's Democrat Mayor is pushing for single adults to be screened for drug addiction before receiving welfare benefits amid the city's spiraling fentanyl crisis. Mayor
London Breed is backing a pair of 'aggressive' public safety proposals that would require roughly 9,000 single adults on welfare to be screened and treated for illegal drug addiction or else lose their cash assistance. She is also pushing to give police more crime-fighting powers, such as the use of drones and surveillance cameras.

| 02/03/2024 | Jon Levine and Rich Calder
New York City provided 720,765 residents cash assistance last year — the most it’s ever awarded in welfare checks in at least a decade. To
handle the surge, a staggering $2.46 billion in federal, state and city funds was budgeted by Mayor Adams this year to provide cash assistance to adults unable to work or pay their bills and for their children. The city previously budgeted $1.99 billion during the fiscal year that ended June 30, and $1.57 billion in fiscal 2022.

Speaker Johnson Sets Vote on Tax Bill Conservatives Call ‘Trojan Horse to Expand Welfare’ for Illegal Aliens

Breitbart ^
| 1/31/2024 | Bradley Jaye
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is rushing through a tax bill unveiled days ago over significant policy objections from both conservative and centrist factions of the Republican Party. Conservatives have spoken out against provisions in the bill they see as handouts to illegal immigrants, particularly an expansion of the Child Tax Credit without
language requiring the parent to have a Social Security number. They argue the expansion would serve as an additional powerful migration pull, even as migrant encounters at the border reach record highs under President Joe Biden. snip Johnson indicated Wednesday morning he would move the bill later in...

In the debt ceiling agreement last spring, House Republicans passed legislation making modest changes to work requirements for certain government programs. Less
than 12 months later, another congressional agreement could effectively undo that progress.Congressional leaders recently announced an agreement on a tax package, the rumors of which had been circulating for several weeks. The House Ways and Means Committee passed the agreement shortly thereafter. In so doing, committee members took another step toward expanding the welfare state, one that will lead to more low-income families on the government rolls than in work.Child Subsidy ChangesAs previously noted, the tax agreement made...

Activists Call for More Refugees to Resettle in Minnesota Even as Many End Up on Welfare

Activists are calling for even more refugees and migrants to be brought to Minnesota to settle there, even as millions of illegal aliens continue to pour across the border filling the welfare rolls. More
than 1,500 refugees were brought to the Gopher State in 2023, triple the number sent to the state by federal officials in 2022. And that is up from the 258 sent in 2021, the Star Tribune reported. The number of refugees was lower during the President Donald Trump era, the paper says, but this year, 443 came from Somalia, while other groups came from the Congo...

Majority of Non-Citizen Households - Illegals, Green Card Holders - On Taxpayer-Funded Welfare: Study
|

| 12/26/2023 | Richard Moorhead
If you're a taxpaying American citizen, the stream of illegal aliens entering the country are living at your expense. A
new study indicates more than half of households headed by a non-citizen are receiving welfare benefits. The Center for Immigration Studies analyzed the 2022 Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation to find the data. "Analysis of this data shows both immigrants and the U.S.-born make extensive use of means-tested anti-poverty programs, with immigrant households significantly more likely to receive benefits," the study, authored by Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler, concluded.

What If Biden’s Open Border Fiasco Is The Final Act Of Left’s Infamous Cloward-Piven Strategy? (59% Of Non-Citizen-Households On Welfare As US Debt Hits $34 TRILLION And Unfunded Liabilites Hit $212.6 TRILLION)

Biden is lucky in that many portray him as a senile, dumb US Senator who happens to be President. Perhaps Biden is actually insidious allowing for open borders in the hopes of crashing the US economy by overloading the welfare system and driving national debt through the roof? To
the extent that this was Biden’s mission, destruction of the US economy, he has been wildly successful. According to the Center For Immigration Studies, 59% of non-citizen-headed households receive welfare. Biden, like Clinton and Obama before him, has been a Cloward-Piven discipile. Who are Cloward and Piven you ask? Two sociologists...

A new analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reveals that almost 60% of all illegal aliens households in the United States are benefiting from at least one form of taxpayer-funded welfare benefits. Breitbart
reports that the study, written by CIS’ Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, found that illegal aliens households, as well as legal immigrants, use “significantly more” welfare than actual American citizens. Of illegal aliens currently occupying land in the U.S., 59% are on welfare that is funded by legal American citizens; 52% of legal immigrants are also using welfare. Meanwhile, less than 40% of American citizens...
