Report shows scale of Biden’s DEI spending
President Donald Trump has promised to reduce government waste and employed wealthy businessmen Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the charge.
So far, spending on federal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies are prime targets for Musk and Ramaswamy, and a recent report shows just how widespread federal DEI spending has become.
The report from Do No Harm shows 500 ways the Biden-Harris administration “infused DEI into the federal government.”
Those examples include federal agencies starting dozens of equity training programs, doling out federal contracts and jobs based on race and gender, and teaching Americans more about their country’s racism, both past and present.
The DEI explosion took off after Biden issued executive orders on his first day in office as well as another in June of 2021.
The second order established “that it is the policy of my Administration to cultivate a workforce that draws from the full diversity of the Nation.”
Biden issued other executive orders, including around gender and sexuality, to the same effect his first year in office. Those orders gave federal bureaucrats not only permission but actually direct orders to embrace DEI policies.
More directly, the federal government began implementing training programs for many federal employees that fully embrace racial ideology labeled “woke” by its opponents.
Other actions seem to favor some groups over others. Changing the “percentage” of benefits received necessarily requires giving contracts, grants, or other federal resources to certain groups, almost always at the expense of white Americans, even more often white men.
The Center Square has reported on other examples of DEI policies and grants becoming the norm in recent years as well.
