The memo sheds light on a strategy to leverage infrastructure investments as a means to advance social and cultural initiatives, a move that has sparked heated debate within political circles.

According to the confidential memo, the administration aims to allocate federal highway funds based on a set of criteria that includes considerations related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The document suggests that projects demonstrating a commitment to social justice initiatives, environmental sustainability, and community engagement will be given preferential treatment in the distribution of funds.Biden Can’t Argue Against This Proof of the Global Warming Hoax… Read HERE

Some argue that taxpayer dollars should be directed toward projects solely based on their merit, engineering feasibility, and the urgency of repairs, rather than becoming entangled with contentious political ideologies.

This is not the first time he has tied liberal projects to real priorities.   Hopefully, there will be a bipartisan opposition to this kind of politics.
