\u201cEquity\u201d has been a hot subject among the progressive, and they want everything in life to revolve around this leftist hype of fairness. Equity in the workplace, equity among the genders\u2026 equity is needed everywhere, so they cry to all who will listen.<\/p>\n
The problem in today\u2019s culture is leftists are calling for equity it usually means taxpayers are about to be paying for it with their hard-earned dollars. Equity has been weaved into almost every budget in the federal government and no topic is off limits for creating a new idea about fairness.<\/p>\n
Joe Biden\u2019s administration has developed a new plan where the U.S. Forest Service can spend tons of tax dollars in an effort to provide equity for, get this, trees.<\/p>\n
From the Daily Caller:
\nThe Forest Service announced on Sept. 14 that it had allocated over $1 billion toward expanding \u201caccess\u201d to trees, including 17 grant proposals that promote \u201ctree equity\u201d with a total value of $101,096,371.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nYes, you read that correctly. They plan to spend a billion dollars that includes more than $100 million for fairness to trees. This \u201ctree equity\u201d term was first coined by American Forests, a conservation nonprofit. On its website, this group blames the lack of trees in minority neighborhoods on \u201credlining and other discriminatory policies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not to be outdone by a leftist brain trust, Forest Service exclaims on its website that planting trees will reduce crime and improve health outcomes. And guess where the money comes from (other than your back pocket)? These \u201ctree equity\u201d grants are funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, Joe Biden\u2019s defining climate law that will be covered in history books forever.<\/p>\n
This whole situation leaves people shaking their heads about how Biden and his minions are spending tax dollars. The\u00a0Daily Caller<\/em>\u00a0pointed out that Atlanta received $10 million to \u201caddress issues related to tree equity\u201d and develop a \u201csustainable, diverse nature-based workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atlanta is a thriving major city with a big budget and, according to Trees Atlanta, trees cover nearly half of the city. If the city needs more trees, why doesn\u2019t it pay for them? Why is some working soul in Nevada contributing to this big government spending spree?<\/p>\n
The reality of trees across the land is in contrast to a Forest Service press release that stated every dollar of funding allocated through this initiative is set to flow into \u201cdisadvantages [sic] communities.\u201d If these government do-gooders can\u2019t even spell, how are their tree initiatives going to help anyone?<\/p>\n
But they\u2019ll keep spending as they did in Aurora, Colorado. The Department of Parks, Recreation and Open Space received $5,000,000 to plant trees in neighborhoods with \u201chigh immigrant and refugee populations\u201d in order to \u201cprioritize equity, social justice and sustainable urban forest management.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s scary to think just how much more of people\u2019s tax dollars this administration will spend recklessly before voters wake up and change the direction of this country.<\/p>\n
