With the national debt racing toward a record $35 trillion, President Joe Biden released his budget proposal Monday, including an eye-popping $8 billion for a "Climate Corps" program.
Enthusiastically supported by Green New Deal architects,Biden’s Climate Corps would hire 50,000 government workers annually by 2031 with the explicit yet vague mission of "tackling climate change." Any guesses which political party these workers will be supporting?
The Climate Corps has been likened to President Franklin Roosevelt’s Depression Era jobs program, but there has never been legislation nor appropriation of such an expansive government program without congressional approval.
For context, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a workforce of less than 20,000, as does the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Both of those agencies have a clear mission and are funded through and accountable to Congress.
Much like the Biden administration’s "special presidential envoy for climate," the Climate Corps skirts constitutional congressional oversight. There are no details on leadership, staff, selection criteria, or even budget.
We should not spend tax dollars so Gen Zers can knock on the doors of those deemed in need of climate change education, nor should it be gathering signatures of those who support their agenda.
A program the size of the Climate Corps, without congressional approval, must be stopped as blatantly unconstitutional. Failure to do so undermines the rule of law and threatens an industry so vital to our economy and national security.

I’ll fertilize the White House lawn after consuming 20 White Castle sliders.
Only $8 Billion slated for the Socialist Democrat ‘Climate’ DNC Slush Fund?
Brandon’s slippin’! *SPIT*
P.S. Get OFF my lawn and OUT of my pockets, ya slimy varmints!
FJB. F him, bigtime.
There was an idea in the House to cut 50%. Why not 100%.
But hey, the Climate Corps will at least look spiffy:
“...skirts constitutional congressional oversight.”

How? Doesn’t Congress control the purse strings?
Don’t fund these modern day brown shirts.
Or should I say Nazi “green shirts.”
Wasn’t NASA’s priority under Obama to “make muslims feel good about themselves?”
It really is Nazi Germany 2.0
I actually knew a woman in the early 1970s who grew up in Hitler’s Germany. She said the Hitler Youth were very good for promoting physical fitness.
She said Americans today (early 1970s) have too much freedom and without someone above them to oversee them and tell them what to do it leads to neurosis from confusion and anxiety.
Another woman was born in Germany in 1944 and said her birth certificate had Hitler’s signature. “I’m sure it was a stamp but it was his signature.”
DOA Jan 20, 2025!
She was generally correct like Loki's little speech in "The Avengers" was true for the majority. We here on Free Republic are the minority who actually think for ourselves and naturally distrust a government who's turned against America's values of heritage, patriotism and religion.
Since they want to ruin my thought of retirement and reduce our nation to a living hellscape I guess it's off-grid war if it comes down to that. They depend on technologies that we old people developed and put into place. LOL
