When President Biden’s administration rolled out the Green New Deal, there were cries it was a political scam. Now a Republican-led House Committee has concluded the same thing, alleging it was a scheme to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to nonprofits run by the former president’s allies.
The report, “The Green New Scam: The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund,” was recently released by the House Oversight Committee. It was 21-pages and concluded there was waste and abuse within the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and the waste included taxpayer money going to massive salaries and luxurious travel benefits for some of the executives.
“It’s clear the Biden Administration turned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) into a vehicle for rewarding political allies, all while risking the stability of our energy infrastructure and burdening American families with higher utility costs,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement.
