Oh, those racist racist areas that don’t have enough trees - b/c of rampant racism!

I remember when the mayor of LA, the hapless Villaraigosa proposed planting a million trees - there was a small grove planted along a roadway near my workplace - the trees were planted, all right, but never watered or taken care of. They were burned-up sticks within six months. Sad to see... I heard this happened all over LA to those trees.

One billion dollars to plant trees?

The Bidenistas are criminally insane.

It’s called Arbor Day?

Joe can drive his Vette around and sniff the trees. Only the young ones I suppose.

Only a demented, sicko pedophile would think you can “fight” climate change by distributing America’s wealth to foreign freeloaders and malingerers who live in sh*tholes due to their own actions and inactions.

The first thing a black family does in Memphis when a tree drops leaves on their car and yard is to cut down that tree.

I believe this is just more tax money that will disappear into the black hole of graft and corruption. Really they’re running out of names for the money that’s being taken from the treasury to pay off their cronies. Ukraine aid has been done to death. And the environment. And economic recovery. Etc., etc.

So I’ve planted 300 trees on my lot, do I get a lower tax rate?

I’ll applaud this if those trees serve as headstones.

I’m all for trees, but we already have the Tree City USA program to bring tree cover to the cities.

My neighborhood, and much of the inner city of Cleveland has tree coverage on most residential streets. Regardless of income levels.

Unfortunately on the more ‘diverse’ areas of town there is a habit of littering that is hard to believe. You can see people throw garbage on the ground within a few feet of a trash can.

Hard to beautify an area that the residents are Hell bent on making ugly.

Not a lot of “tree cover” in Tribeca. Will DeNiro be getting Federal funds?

We will need a lot of trees when we eventually start hanging these people.

“One billion dollars to plant trees?”

No $10,000,000 to plant trees, $990,000,000 to manage it.

Only a sold out dolt would do something like this when families have to pass on some groceries.

Only an anti people idiot would do this.

Another year..another steal..we dont survive this.
