Cutting the green scam stuff seems like it would be easy enough for other republicans to go along with.

"Cutting the green scam stuff seems like it would be easy enough for other republicans to go along with." One would think, here's the problem: PORK!

According to an analysis by the Center for American Progress, nearly 40% of the 435 U.S. congressional districts, or approximately 174 districts, have hosted at least one announced clean energy or manufacturing project funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as of December 2023. This includes both Republican- and Democratic-represented districts, with a significant portion—around 57% of the 211,000 jobs announced—located in Republican-held districts.

Pork barrel spending is killing the USA and this is a prime example. No matter how awful the "Green New Scam" is, congressmen are bringing home the pork to get re-elected.

We need term limits. Maybe "One and done" is called for.

The D.C. power center with its glad-handing cocktail parties, the Congressman who quickly adopt an attitude of "Me above all else," and armies of lobbyists is the root of all our ills.
