    Oh, the humanity! No, wait . . . This is clearly a criminal operation, with both Habitat for Humanity AND United Way, two of the biggest criminal organizations in the U.S., involved up to their eyeballs.

    We shouldn't overlook an important point:

    Once Trump has the government fully stocked with his lickspittles, we'll see more headlines such as the above, quoting real agencies.

    The agencies will be lying, of course, but the quote (and headlines) of their lies will be real.

    so reducing the intensity of hurricanes and storm fronts isn't good for the public welfare or is ever increasing CO2 no problem to you

    I will good with it as soon as some shows me that the ROI is positive. If the BCR for that $2B can be demonstrated, great, but I have huge doubts that the benefits (in dollars) outweigh the cost.

    ROI isn’t a consideration for public welfare.

    If ROI really mattered to Donald and DOGE they would be increasing rather than cutting the funding for the IRS. The CBO estimated that for each additional dollar spent on the IRS the government received a return of six dollars. Other estimates have been less but there has always been a positive return on investment.
