Biden Spend $75 Million of Taxpayer Money for Tribal Moving Costs

Really? Our nation is broke. Why are we paying for people’s moving costs?

US President Joe Biden’s administration will help fund the move of three tribal communities facing urgent threats from climate change.

The three tribes will receive $75m (£62m) divided equally between them, Mr Biden announced on Wednesday.

 

All are located along coastal areas and rivers in the states of Alaska and Washington.

 

The money will fund the move of key buildings and residential homes to higher ground, away from rising waters.

 

Mr Biden made the funding announcement at the White House during the Interior Department’s Tribal Nations Summit.

 

In his remarks, he said the tribes receiving funding are “at risk of being washed away”.

The money will help “move, in some cases, their entire communities back to safer ground”.

    And considering we have had a very wet year in the state, just a waste of money
