But digging into the details of those cuts would uncover the fact that they've hurt more Red Congressional districts than Blue ones. Trump's people are lazy, including Russ Vought.

excerpt:

“Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left’s climate agenda is being cancelled,” said White House budget chief Russ Vought on social media leading up to the announcement.

The targeted cut of funds marks a reversal from the Biden administration’s strategy in its landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 legislation, where funding tilted dramatically in Republican voting districts’ favor.

According to E2, which tracks announced investments in the clean energy sector, over 88,000 jobs and $107 billion in private investments have been announced in historically Republican voting districts post-IRA, far more than the $22 billion and 30,000 jobs announced in Democratic voting districts.
