And the hit parade from the China Joe administration keeps coming. Any Biden voter/Never Trumper complaining when their cost of living goes up, well, sit down, shut up, and own it

Biden’s Treasury Department to Focus on Climate Change

During her confirmation hearing, Janet Yellen–Biden’s nominee for Treasury Secretary–promised to employ the authority of the Treasury Department to combat climate change.

This statement reinforces the conclusion that the Biden Administration will seek to make expansive use of its regulatory and administrative authority to pursue climate change policy, which may lead to numerous regulations and enforcement activity beyond the typical environmental context.

Businesses in America should prepare–as many are already doing so–to address and adapt to climate change regulations in the financial sector.

Treasury secretary nominee Janet Yellen on Tuesday pledged to create a team to focus on climate change, in a move that’s likely to put the powerful agency at the forefront of the Biden administration’s efforts to combat what she called an “existential threat.”

In a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Yellen said she planned to start a new Treasury “hub” that would examine financial system risks arising from climate change and on related tax policy incentives. She also intends to appoint a “very senior-level” official to lead climate efforts.

Now, one could say that this doesn’t quite dovetail into their stated mission

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s mission is to maintain a strong economy and create economic and job opportunities by promoting the conditions that enable economic growth and stability at home and abroad, strengthen national security by combating threats and protecting the integrity of the financial system, and manage the U.S. Government’s finances and resources effectively.

But, should Treasury be spending their time forcing compliance with their political beliefs, or simply dealing with their core functions?

The basic functions of the Department of the Treasury include:

• Managing Federal finances;
• Collecting taxes, duties and monies paid to and due to the U.S. and paying all bills of the U.S.;
• Currency and coinage;
• Managing Government accounts and the public debt;
• Supervising national banks and thrift institutions;
• Advising on domestic and international financial, monetary, economic, trade and tax policy;
• Enforcing Federal finance and tax laws;
• Investigating and prosecuting tax evaders, counterfeiters, and forgers.

This is exactly what we mean when we say things like Socialism, Marxism, Stateism, etc. Modern Socialism. For Biden voters and Trump haters, this what you agitated for. Don’t complain when your personal and business lives gets screwed up.
