(Washington, DC) – On his first day back in office, President Trump issued an executive order to eliminate “radical and wasteful” Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) “programs and preferences” from the federal government. The Biden administration embraced this “woke” agenda and embedded it across the executive branch. Ensuring these programs do not make a comeback will take a sustained effort.
To help the administration in this task, and to help educate the public on the scope of the problem, the Functional Government Initiative (FGI) and the Center for Renewing America (CRA) have published DEI Spending in the Biden Administration. This report traces the Biden administration’s web of DEI programs and influence throughout the government, provides numbers on how much money these programs and initiatives wasted, and offers options for Congress to consider that could root out DEI ideology permanently.
A crucial guide to uncovering the myriad DEI expenditures, both small and large, were the “Equity Action Plans” (EAPs) that President Biden demanded across the government. The Biden administration claimed that these plans were designed to identify and remove barriers keeping federal resources from “marginalized” or “underserved” communities, particularly in areas like procurement, contracting, and grant opportunities. In reality, the systemic focus on DEI poisoned federal governance, contributing to the substantial increase in related spending and diverting resources toward controversial policies, away from agency missions. The Biden administration forcibly inserted the language of DEI into every corner of the executive branch.
The study identified 460 programs across 24 government agencies that diverted resources to DEI initiatives. At least $1 trillion was infused with DEI principles.

That’s why they ignored people with Trump signs in NC!
It was FEMA DEI policy!

➤ The Department of Labor “must embed equity in a sustainable manner that recognizes the multiple and overlapping identities held by workers.”
You have to wonder how people in those agencies bought into it so quickly and implemented so many programs so quickly. Sounds like “I was just following orders.”
Did any of the recipients of the “training” object. Or did the “students” just go along and laughed at it behind their backs. I wonder if anybody took it seriously.
This sideshow is going nowhere.
“A Trillion dollars allocated to hire stupid people.”
Not quite.
Just a few dollars less than a trillion?
“Just a few dollars less than a trillion?”
Almost a trillion less.
“Almost a trillion less.”
Obviously, you haven’t been paying attention.
“Obviously, you haven’t been paying attention.”
I read the OP.
So, you are in favor of unelected bureaucrats and NGO’s stealing us blind?
“So, you are in favor of unelected bureaucrats and NGO’s stealing us blind?”
Grow up.
You didn’t answer my question.
“You didn’t answer my question.”
There was no question to answer.
You have been posting stupid crap the entire time you have been here on FR. I believe that Democrat Underground is a better fit for you. Take your EV mandates and go be with the people who agree with you.
Grow up.
You still refuse to answer my questions. Do you still want to have the corruption in our government to continue? It’s a yes or no question.
“You still refuse to answer my questions. Do you still want to have the corruption in our government to continue? It’s a yes or no question.”
It is a “are you still beating your wife” question.
Grow up.
Thanks for validating my opinion of you.
“Thanks for validating my opinion of you.”
Thanks for validating my opinion of you.
The hive mind worked its evil. It allocated 1 trillion dollars to 24 agencies funding 460 programs. But it required those agencies to hire stupid people. Or in other words, discriminate against qualified white males. That’s what a trillion dollars buys in Government. Some people can’t understand that. When DOGE is through, a lot of those programs will be cancelled and no agency will be required to use DEI in hiring. There are some agencies which will be generally spared, some will be cut back, others will disappear entirely. A lot less that a trillion dollars will be spent with what’s left.
