#Drumpf admin rewarding #energy contractors with massive #taxpayer payouts to drop #windmill projects.
#Drumpf admin vowed on Wednesday to pay $765 million to a power project developer #Invenergy to abandon planned #windmill projects off the coastal states of New York, #California and #Maine and convert resources to developing natural gas power plants in five landlocked Midwest states.
Seven U.S. states sued the admin this month over a similar $800 million payment to #TotalEnergies TTEF.PA to cancel an east coast offshore wind project. The state AG's suing the #ExecBranch allege payments are not proper #USA govt process and illegally misuse fund$ reserved for legal settlements when there was no actual #litigation.

#USA spends more #money on #defense #military than ever but get's less for it? (#corruption of #industrialmilitarycomplex)
#ChatGPT: Short answer: broadly yes — #defensespending is at record levels, but long‑standing procurement inefficiencies, cost overruns, supply‑chain fragility, concentrated contractors, and political incentives mean #taxpayer often get less capability per dollar than expected
#DoD in 2025 totals $850 billion https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61017 https://www.stimson.org/2024/current-defense-plans-require-unsustainable-future-spending/

He's going to pay his #maga #insurrectionists out of his new #AntiWeaponizationFund using #taxpayer #money.
But he's not paying them for the #Jan6 storming of the #US #Capitol back in 2021.
This is the down payment for storming the Capitol immediately after the November #Midterm #Elections *this* year.
He's paying people to come back and finish the job they started five years ago.

Proposed Compensation Fund: Trump has discussed creating a formal compensation fund for rioters, suggesting they should be paid for "suffering," lost jobs, and lost income resulting from their prosecutions. Reports indicate this fund could involve up to $1.7 billion in taxpayer money to settle claims from those "harmed by weaponization" of the legal system.
The demented mob boss wants to reward the pieces of shit who stormed the Capitol ....

The cost of our all hands on deck heroic rescue of the US service man trapped in #Iran looks to be well over $250 million dollars, and if you include the first lost #aircraft, as well as those lost in the rescue, it could be far more.
A random value estimate of the US #AirForce’s MC-130Js left destroyed In Iran Is around $100 Million each....Rather than risk capture by Iranian forces, the #Pentagon made the decision to destroy multiple US aircraft in place.
The cost of smaller aircraft left smoldering on the makeshift desert airfield in Iraq estimate to be about $2 million each...
#CBS reported a congressional briefing where one official called it a “fair guess” that the daily #USA #taxpayer cost of #DJT military "intervention" in Iraq is costing well over $1.5 billion.

@riggbeck @MichaelEMann @ZLabe @RARohde @rahmstorf @davidho @GeraldKutney #TotalEnergies is basically a #fossilfuel company, & I'm quite sure they wouldn't mind making money out of the #American #taxpayer in the least, nor will they be in any way averse to exploiting Donald Trump's extraordinary allergy to any form of #renewableenergy. Their agreeing to the contract is an exercise in cynicism.

@RabBrucesSpider1 @HarriettMB Unfortunately, it's not just the #Tories or #ReformUK - would that it were! We #disabled people could cope with that - we're used to it by now. No, it's #Labour as well, with both the vile #rhetoric & the #policies to go with it. They think we're a "burden" on #society & the #taxpayer, & they despise us!

county wants to build a 60m rec facility, they need to focus on infrastructure and a metered approach, i think some of it is covid money, the growth and tax hikes are hurting long time residents. lots of fields and a pool is going to invest in the people and the community but overall it will likely lose money and be a net rev drag not a big boost; there are safer and more useful investments, they need oversight and a metered rollout, make it a journey not an event #taxpayer money #community visions vs community needs #constituents
