John Podesta, Biden’s top climate czar, was in charge of doling out $375 billion in climate change spending, which had been sent to many charities founded only months ago.

The New York Post wrote:

The Biden administration funneled at least $20 billion dollars into environmental groups, most of which had only recently been founded. In one case, former Vice President Kamala Harris handed over a check for nearly $7 billion to Bethesda, Maryland, based group Climate United Fund, which does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings.

in 2024, EPA adviser Brent Efron was caught on video saying the EPA had rushed out its $20 billion in climate funding.

“Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge.”

EPA administrator Lee Zeldin is working with the FBI and DOJ on the eight groups tied to the “gold bars” scheme.

Zeldin said “the director of the greenhouse reduction fund left an NGO to come to the Biden administration, becomes the director of the greenhouse reduction fund, and gave their former employer $5 billion.”

One CEO who applied for a $20 million grant sat on the Biden White House environmental justice council, which had only received $3 million over the prior three years.

The EPA has learned that $2 billion was set aside for a climate change group, Power Forward Communities, which is associated with Democrat Stacey Abrams, even though the organization had only reported $100 in revenue.

“We want to reestablish more oversight controls. We want to have accountability over every penny. I want to have the ability to sit before Congress and you can ask me 20 of your top questions, and I want to have answers for every single one of them on top of my head,” says Zeldin.

Please cite the program's official name, budget, and possibly a link if it is not the one I previously mentioned sponsored by the American Lamb Board.

I think anyone with a moderate level of common sense and zero education in agronomy, botany, and/or marine biology if asked would tell you it is a bad idea to let domesticated livestock have continuous, free range access to unnamed tributaries and larger waterways. I don't think the federal government needs to be handing millions of dollars out to people to tell us what we already know. Moreover, I don't think the federal government should be funding private enterprises' expenses. If this is some type of hardship program as a response to a new regulation to quickly bring everyone in compliance then just pass the regulation and give each affected party no less than 7 years to figure out how to bring themselves into compliance. That way everyone would be operating under the same set of circumstances. The government paying to build all or even a part of your fence, but none of somebody else's fence is the government picking winners and losers and market manipulation at its finest.  However, to me it sounds like some politician, lobbyist, or bureaucrat's "pork project" disguised as "research". Without knowing exactly what program we are talking about its hard to say so I will defer any further discussion on it.

I can't remember if it was this thread or another but I noted that the US agriculture industry is the most regulated and manipulated industry in the land. The USDA has more regulations on the books than any other federal entity. The list is endless. The USDA subsidizes insolvent operations. The USDA subsidizes industrial scale farms owned by millionaires and literal billionaires to not farm their land. Hmmm. IMO The USDA has an image of what the American farm should look like and the small 150 acre or less "family farm" doesn't resemble that image. My guess is most New Deal agriculture programs and legislation had negative, unintended consequences. However, definitely since Earl Butz's leadership tenure the USDA has continuously advanced legislation, programs, and manipulative forces to make small farms uncompetitive. It has created a situation where the entire "private" industry is essentially a government run entity with major control by about 5 or 6 mega corporations. The "prop" handed out to these insolvent operations is treating the symptom. If the USDA truly cared about small operations and a robust agricultural supply chain they would treat the illness.

I wonder why the federal government hasn't set up a US Department of Plumbing. If it did it could start printing and borrowing tons of money to pay plumbers to stay home and not do plumbing work. Additionally, they could create a litany of laws and regulations that allow no more than 10 mega corporations to control the whole industry such that the only way a self employed, sole proprietor can remain solvent is by receiving federal welfare. 

I am of the opinion that if the USDA and the government as a whole removed itself from farmer's private business and private industry along with all the laws and regulations it has created since at least 1971, there would be no need for any of the subsidies it hands out. Moreover, small operators wouldn't need subsidies to be competitive, the large industrialized, factory farms wouldn't have taken hold, or both. 

I, like you, grow much of my own food. I purchased a small farm of about 30 acres so my family and I could be more independent and not have to rely so heavily the conventional food supply chain. Never the less I'm not worried. Last I checked under the current arrangement of farming, American farmers can produce enough food for 140% of the American population.

This might answer some of your questions.  My wife is the person who applied for the grant.  She is the farmer.  I work off the farm.

You know I don't really care what someone does in their private life. But why put it up in front of kids? When I went to school the teachers never shared their sex lives with us. Thank God they didn't, because a lot of them were ugly and weird as shit
