Give them what they voted for – good and hard

“The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve,

So, apparently, the government only “serves” those who are not on any sort of public assistance?

Well, this is akin to various “Plan Steve” modes that force people into the workforce and/or force them to work more hours, if it really does impact public assistance. That isn’t what the memo says. The memo talks about cutting off foreign aid, NGOs, DEI, “woke gender ideology”, and the “green new deal”.

Matthew Vaeth is the acting head of OMB. He has been at OMB, in one capacity, or another, since 97. From the sort of rhetoric he uses in the memo, seems he is really slurping up to TPTB, to keep his cush job.

The nominee for permanent head of OMB appears to be another “Project 2025” alum.
