During an interview with NPR’s “Here and Now,” White House National Climate Adviser Ali Zaidi responded to a question on where the White House is getting money for the American Climate Corps given that money for the idea was taken out of the Inflation Reduction Act by stating that the plan “was a good idea then and it’s a good idea now.” And that they’ve used executive action “to bring together the authorities and resources of six different federal agencies,” and also boasted that President Joe Biden has “made sure that we’re using all of the tools of the presidency, whether it’s executive actions to stand up the Climate Corps or his wartime powers with the Defense Production Act” on climate.

Co-host Scott Tong asked, [relevant exchange begins around 2:15] “There were billions of dollars proposed for this idea when it was part of the bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act. It eventually passed, but this provision got taken out. So, where’s the money to pay for this?”

If they (Congress) really believed humans are killing other humans by whatever it is we’re doing (burning fossil fuels?), they would have no choice but to end the proxy war in Ukraine immediately.

The survival of the human race trumps the liberation of Ukraine.

“Legislation is supposed to originate in the House...”

Just a nit-pick here. Legislation can originate in either house, except for bills that raise revenue which must originate in the House of Representatives. However our betters have figured out a way around this, the Senate takes a bill passed by the House, strips it of its content, substitutes a spending bill and sends the ‘amended’ bill back to the House for reconciliation.

Not a nitpick-you are correct. But no matter where they originate, they have to go back to be passed, as you said.

Thank you for the clarification-I was speaking in simplified terms...:)

Biden and his goons and thugs keep digging the hole deeper... Biden’s numbers will go done more soon. What idiots.

These arrogant, condescending, anti-American LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrats need to be arrested for violating their Oath of Office by ignoring the Constitution they swore to “. . . preserve, protect and defend!”

I am damn sick and tired of these Bozos getting away with, on the face of it, TREASON!
