Funny he never mentions himself when identifying people receiving money from the government.

Bruce, you are a self-proclaimed conservative.

WASHINGTON, October 23, 2024 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced a historic $1.5 billion for 92 partner-driven conservation projects through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), a partner-driven approach to conservation that funds solutions to natural resource challenges on agricultural land. Partners will provide $968 million in contributions to amplify the impact of the federal investment. Selected RCPP projects will help farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners adopt and expand voluntary, locally led conservation strategies to enhance natural resources while tackling the climate crisis.

Today’s investment is made with funding available through the Farm Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act. The Inflation Reduction Act is part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America Agenda and the largest investment in climate action and conservation in world history, which has enabled USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to boost funding for RCPP. In total, the Inflation Reduction Act provides $19.5 billion to support USDA’s oversubscribed conservation programs, including $4.95 billion for RCPP.

“The Regional Conservation Partnership Program is an example of public-private partnership at its best,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “Thanks to the boost in funding from the Biden-Harris Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act we’re able to invest even more in this popular and important program and increase our conservation impact across the country, supporting our nation’s farmers, ranchers and forest landowners while at the same time protecting our natural resources for the future.”

“America’s working lands and forests are crucial in our fight against the climate crisis—from sequestering carbon pollution to absorbing the impact of storms and floods,” said John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the President for International Climate Policy. “Today’s awards make sure that the people who know those landscapes best—farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners—have the resources they need to lead this important work.”

PrairieGhost, answer me this, do you believe conservation programs from Biden, Tom Vilsack, and John Podesta are going to be great?

I don't think anything from that bunch can be trusted.
When I grew up on the farm we had some land that they called Soil Bank. It put about nine to ten inches of the neighbors topsoil on our gravel topped hills. Land out of production drove grain prices up for everyone else. At a young age I decided it was better for everyone including wildlife and hunters to pay for conservation rather than the socialist support program.

Self provlaimed???? What do I have to do, march in lockstep with Farm Bureau to meet your standards.

Same old story Fritz if your in danger of the gov tit getting bumped out of your mouth you start implying people are liberal. Good luck with that.

The Inflation Reduction Act is a misnomer, printing money and giving it away causes inflation. I received an email from a federal surrogate conservation org who were promoting this.

It takes a lot of cheerleaders to push the green new deal. It's socialism under the guise of conservation.

 

[PrairieGhost]

Well that I can agree with Fritz. Although it's a bit hypocritical of anyone receiving free federal money. Also your idea that somehow a conservation organization is a gov surrogate is simply demonizing to push your agenda. It's like two cats fighting over a bowl of milk. Your fear is what they get you dont get.

I do agree that the green new deal is a hoax. I don't think these people care about conservation. This is a program to destroy our economy. Step by step they have followed the advice of Saul Alinsky's book Rules For Radicals. In it he stated that the only way to change the United States to a socialist nation was to drive the economy into the dirt and offer socialism as the only way out. Most democrats and some Republicans are working towards this goal. Hillary was in line to finish off America, but Trump got in the way. Trump in kindness was foolish in his first term leaving some Obama people in place. He learned a hard lesson and will be even better this time.

However you calling me a self proclaimed conservative coming from someone who has a socialist streak when it comes to agriculture is hypocritical. People want to cut gov spending just not their gov money. It would appear that in your case your bothered by how they dole out money because you feel entitled to it. Im not bothered by your premis as much as your motivation.

We are going to loose if we keep thinking liberal leadership is stupid. The fact is their true leadership is very intelligent. The problem is they are not stupid, they are evil. They prey on the stupid and the gullible, and if we keep thinking their stupid we are the gullible.

We blew past $35 Trillion.

PG, the Social Security Trust Fund brings in more than it shells out. The excess is invested in purchasing debt. Intra-government holdings own about $7 Trillion in debt.

You better hope they do not default.

 

[PrairieGhost]

Fritz your right about many things and I dislike disagreeing with you.
1. I thought after the liberals robbed the Social Security it was broke and now paid out by the general fund. Do they actually have money in a trust?
2. I wouldnt say they blew through 35 trillion, but of that 35 trillion perhaps half was a waste. Reality is bad enough.

3. I think the liberal plan all along was to default and bring about socialism.

Maybe these points are more agreeing than disagreeing with you.
