Department of Transportation has a line item for "Electric or Low-Emitting Ferry Program". This did not exist in the budget until 2022.
$50 MILLION of your tax dollars are being spent on this NEW wasteful program.
Bureau of Indian Affairs has a line item for "Payments for Tribal Leases". 2023 is the first year that I see this appearing in the budget. Makes me very curious because I would have thought we were paying this for many years. A little something extra for somebody's pocket I guess.
$55 MILLION of your tax dollars for this.
Department of the Interior has a line item for "Energy Community Revitalization Program". This is ANOTHER NEW item which first appeared in the budget in 2022. That's a hell of a lot of money. What the fuck was this discretionary item for?
2022 $4.654 BILLION
2023 $65 MILLION
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has a line item for "Research and general education aids". I have nothing against having this museum and having it in our budget but the holocaust did not occur in the United States. The Civil War however DID occur in the United States. Why don't we have a United States Confederate Memorial Museum? They should be shamed for how they are erasing the Confederate history by spending more than $20 MILLION on renaming military bases. Also, various cities, counties and states have spent a lot of money removing Confederate Memorials.
ALL the soldiers who survived the Civil War swore an allegiance to the United States. They, and the dead, should be honored for their bravery and service!!
$65MILLION for the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
$20 MILLION + to remove and erase Confederate history and Memorials.
