The Trump administration is sparing no expense—well, except for the expense of sticking taxpayers with the bill for hair-brained schemes dreamed up by climate activists. The latest financial revelation from Administrator Lee Zeldin at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has turned the proverbial light on just how deep the swamp currently runs, and it’s more than a bit concerning for anyone inclined to fiscal responsibility.
Zeldin pulled back the curtain on a jaw-dropping $2 billion earmarked for a climate group with connections to none other than Stacey Abrams, the former Democratic gubernatorial candidate from Georgia. The organization in line for this gigantic cash infusion, Power Forward Communities, boasted a revenue figure so paltry it could barely buy a cup of coffee—only $100. Yes, you read that right. While common sense dictates that organizations with low incomes don’t receive extravagant windfalls, this revelation seems to have left the left scratching their heads.

This financial faux pas wasn’t just an accident; it was part of a larger disbursement plan from the Biden administration. The funds were carefully stored away in Citibank, potentially to evade scrutiny and public awareness. It’s as if someone in the administration had an epiphany: “Let’s hide all our financial shenanigans under the mattress, and no one will notice!” Perhaps they were hoping that the strategic placement of these funds wouldn’t raise eyebrows, but it looks like their plan has been foiled.
Zeldin voiced strong skepticism regarding the appropriateness of giving $2 billion to an organization that claimed to bring in mere chump change. The disparity between reported revenue and the funds awarded is enough to make any reasonable person question the judgement of those making such decisions. Zeldin pointed out the staggering figure, noting that the award equals 20 million times the group’s alleged income. If that isn’t a slap in the face to taxpayers, it’s hard to say what is.
This $2 billion revelation arises just as Zeldin announced he’d learned about a vast $20 billion pool of funds that the Biden administration had supposedly whisked away to prevent the Trump administration from reversing the giveaways. Such maneuvers raise the stakes in a game of financial hide-and-seek that will undoubtedly lead to further disclosures of fiscal irresponsibility from the current administration. Time will tell what other treasures remain buried and how many more climate groups sprung up specifically to dip into these endless funds. The American taxpayer holds their breath—and yep, it’s finding it hard to breathe amidst all this political atmosphere.
