The Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, chaired by U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), on Thursday marked up a GOP appropriations bill for fiscal year 2024. A Republican fact sheet celebrates proposed “cuts to wasteful spending” and “claw-backs of prior appropriations,” highlighting that it “reins in” the Environmental Protection Agency, “limits abuse of the Endangered Species Act,” and provides protections for the fossil fuel industry.
The GOP proposal would slash appropriations for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The former provides low-interest loans for infrastructure projects like wastewater facilities while the latter provides assistance for initiatives like improving drinking water treatment and fixing old pipes.
Clean water is communism. You can just buy water, it is not free.
Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?
It’s a clear liquid alright!!
There is no such thing as “radical” right-wing ideology - right-wing ideology is reactionary. It is about as anti-radical as ideology gets.
The idea that people deserve proper drinking water is a radical one - the idea that people should be denied drinking water is about as reactionary as it gets.
I can’t help but notice you are very aggressive with your words, I recommend a lighter tone. I’m not referring to this post in specific, I checked your profile.
You’ll probably get banned after some time, lemmy moderators here are nice and open people but you need to be a little bit more civil. It’s something I’m always watching out for.
I also noticed you joined on July 8th, be prepared you’ll get some stalkers soon, block them.
Whoa sibling. I didn’t understand your response until I looked through that comment history. Thanks for helping me to look deeper.
All according to plan
“SEE, GOVERNMENT DOESN’T WORK*”
*except when we give police armored personnel carriers and attack drones or want to invade a foreign country
Why is the GOP so fucking stupid? Living here makes my heart hurt.
Do they want a Cholera pandemic to mix in with the sars2 pandemic?
that would be both stupid and evil, so to answer your question: probably yes
“POTABLE WATER IS FOR SOCIALISTS!!1”
Why don’t we just cut funding for clean water in the states with the Senators and Congressional representatives that are voting for these bills?
Because that’s not how rivers work.
Was this Nestle sponsored?
Air next?
Straight into Space Balls territory
At this point, we might as well vote in a supermajority for Republicans and let them cut Medicare/Medicaid/social Security by 100% and revel in the corporate profits. Isn’t that the primary goal?
The GOP’s motto should be “profit before protection”
How low can the right go? Well we’ve blown past nazis and clean water. Let’s see if the constituents continue to be little bitches like always. My money’s on yep.
Why discipline your own when there’s big scary woke people out there?
I’m taking a fat shit gassing my family and I even think this wrong
Lol of course they do
