This is supposedly about training for jobs, but, it will end up being cult indoctrination, creating a whole bunch of new “activists” hell bent on telling Other People how to live their lives, and agitating for government to force those Other People to live the cult life
Biden is unveiling the American Climate Corps, a program with echoes of the New Deal
The White House on Wednesday unveiled a new climate jobs training program that it says could put 20,000 people to work in its first year on projects like restoring land, improving communities’ resilience to natural disasters and deploying clean energy.
The American Climate Corps is modeled after a program that put millions to work during the Great Depression. President Biden’s climate policy adviser Ali Zaidi told reporters that the program has broader goals beyond addressing the climate crisis.
Is it really wise to compare anything during this poor Biden economy to the Great Depression?
“We’re opening up pathways to good-paying careers, lifetimes of being involved in the work of making our communities more fair, more sustainable, more resilient,” Zaidi said.
The program will pay participants, and most positions will not require previous experience. The administration is also proposing new regulations aimed at making it easier for participants to enter the federal public service after the program.
Is this authorized by the duly elected Legislative Branch? No, it is not, so, he has no authority to create it, and damned sure no authority to spend money and pay people.
Democratic lawmakers including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., had pushed for more funding for the climate corps program, but that did not transpire, meaning the program is likely to be smaller in scope than early proposals.
And, like Biden, they are huge climahypocrites. They’re also giving away their power to the Executive Branch, and should remember that a Republican president can kill this program with the stroke of a pen.
There is another key difference, too. While the Conservation Corps primarily employed young, white men, the White House says that the American Climate Corps is designed to attract participants from disadvantaged communities disproportionately impacted by the changing climate.
Hmm, this is sounding more like a money giveaway to people for votes.
