Government Spending Thread: The House will soon be considering govt spending bills for FY 2023.
These offices and programs are overfunded, redundant in nature, or outside of the scope of the federal govt.
Here is a breakdown of all the spending for the Dep of Agriculture #ampFW
$69.8MM for the Ag Secretary’s office; $8.4M for Ag Secretary’s immediate office; $1.3 million for the Agriculture Homeland Security Office?
Why can’t @DHSgov do it? $11.2M for the Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement? #ampFW
$30M for the Agriculture Chief Economist’s office. #ampFW
$170M+ for the Agriculture Offices of Hearings and Appeals, Budget and Program Analysis, Chief Information Officer, and Civil Rights. #ampFW
More than $300M for the Agriculture Statistics Service and the Economic Research Service. #ampFW
$1.1 billion for Agriculture research and education programs. Can’t imagine how woke these programs might be. #ampFW
$50M for grocery workers under the Farmworker and Food Worker Relief Grant Program of the Agriculture Marketing Service. #ampFW
$5 million pilot program to nonprofits to enhance farming and ranching opportunities for veterans. Not the proper role of the Dept of Ag. #ampFW
A highly suspect provision made it on the bill. #ampFW
$111B food stamps, $28B for child nutrition programs As diabetes, unhealthy living continues, millions of Americans, members of Congress should reconsider subsidizing the industries that are making Americans obese and dependent on the “health care” system. #ampFW
A start would be for removing sweetened beverages, prepared desserts, salty snacks, candy, and sugars from SNAP benefits. Americans must start putting effort into their own health if we want to solve the unhealth tragedy in America. @houseGOP @HouseAgGOP #ampFW
