Biden sabotages the USA on his way out of office

Every day there is MORE and MORE.

Earlier today there was YET ANOTHER bailout of deadbeat student loan "forgiveness" by the Biden administration. Totally many BILLIONS of dollars. This despite the fact that the courts have ruled against most of the forgiveness offered by Biden in the past.

Now comes another handout.

The Biden administration’s green loan office is shelling out nearly $23 billion to utility companies for green energy development and other projects in its final days.
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO) announced its conditional commitment to provide a combined $22.9 billion in financing to numerous utility companies across the country to “modernize” their grid systems by adding new green energy generation, building transmission lines needed to harness renewable generation and more. The LPO is continuing its lame duck lending spree through the very end of the Biden administration, even though Republicans and the DOE’s internal watchdog have called for a freeze on LPO activity due to concerns about the office’s safeguards pertaining to conflicts of interest.
LPO is offering Michigan’s DTE Electric and DTE Gas $9 billion to develop more green energy generation and replace gas lines, while Alliant Energy and its subsidiaries have been offered $3 billion to incorporate more wind power and batteries into its grid. Other companies that LPO extended loan packages to include PacifiCorp — which will look to use the money to build 700 miles of new transmission lines — and New Jersey’s Jersey Central Power and Light.
“On January 16, 2025, LPO announced eight conditional commitments through its Title 17 Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR) program, comprising $22.92 billion to utilities serving more than 14.78 million customers across 12 states,” . . . STORY CONTINUES AT LINK ABOVE ^^^
 
Looks like they have not found all the sabotaging that Biden did on his way out of office.

11 minute video that explains how Biden's DOJ snuck in a new policy that appears to be non-reviewable by Congress. Seriously take a few minutes to watch this, it is blatant politics, and blatantly weaponizing the Dept of Justice. Hopefully exposing this will make it easier to undo it.

What the actual F***?


 
Looks like many of the things that Biden did can't be undone by Trump.

On the bright side, the GOP members of the House & Senate are both working undoing the regulatory mess that has been imposed on the nation.

Politico runs an ongoing blog with updates: https://www.politico.com/live-updat...p-to-begin-undoing-biden-regulations-00205560


Republican lawmakers in both chambers are set to begin voting soon on legislation to undo a range of Biden-era rules, teeing up their first major steps toward rolling back the previous administration’s regulatory agenda.
The Senate is gearing up to begin considering Congressional Review Act resolutions in the coming weeks that would undo rules on bank mergers, methane emissions and other matters, according to a Senate GOP aide with knowledge of the matter who was granted anonymity to discuss unannounced plans. The chamber could begin voting on the roll-backs as soon as next week, though the exact timeline remains unclear.
Meanwhile, the House is set to vote next week on two of those resolutions, which would undo Biden-era climate rules.
The Senate’s top targets include a pair of resolutions introduced by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) that would overturn a rule from the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that put new restrictions on bank mergers and a regulation from the Interior Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management requiring oil and gas companies to submit archaeological reports to the agency before beginning offshore drilling, respectively.
The chamber is also expected to take up a resolution from Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) that would undo an EPA rule adding a charge on some methane emissions from oil and natural gas facilities and legislation from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to roll back an Energy Department regulation that requires increased efficiency levels for gas-fired water heaters.
