This story is worth reading as a small outcropping of a massive subterranean network:

Are tax dollars being channeled through the Environmental Protection Agency to Democratic activists working in the nonprofit sector?

A comprehensive new report released Wednesday by the Republican staff of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee makes clear that the answer to that question is yes. The report is entitled “The chain of environmental command.”

It would be reasonable to expect that this sort of thing goes on throughout government.   For another example, I’ve noted before how the federal Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has been funneling money to PolicyLink, a group whose previous work involved plotting to shift the United States to an economic system to the Left of European socialism.  That money stream flows not just directly from the feds, but also via grants given to lower-tier governments (including for the RhodeMap RI initiative).

Throw in the actual activism of government agencies (such as the IRS targeting of conservatives) and the taxpayer money that flows through labor unions back into activists’ and Democrats’ coffers. It’s just another indication that government in the United States no longer serves the people as its primary mission in any meaningful sense.
