Obama Announces $1 Billion to 13 States to Build “Climate Resilient Communities” and Gets Told Off on Twitter

At this point, the money printing machine must be close to a meltdown. The national debt has jumped by an astounding $8 trillion dollars since Obama took office, and the tab is now projected to be $20 trillion by the time he leaves.

Twenty trillion. That’ll mean America’s national debt nearly doubled under his presidency.

So you can probably imagine the majority of people’s surprise and dismay when the White House announced a new billion dollars going to “help build more climate resilient communities”.

“We’ll award 13 cities, states and counties $1 billion to help build more climate resilient communities.” —@POTUS #ActOnClimate #CitiesLead

— The White House (@WhiteHouse) January 21, 2016

The announcement came in regard to a HUD program which will award the billion dollars through a National Disaster Resilience Competition. “Winners” of this money include California, Connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Virginia, plus New York City (separately), New Orleans, Minot North Dakota, Shelby County Tennessee (separately), and Springfield Massachusetts. Funny how the “authorities” always start with attempting to reassure the public that “climate change is real” when writing these big checks…

“Climate change is real and we must think more seriously about how to plan for it,” said HUD Secretary Julián Castro… The National Disaster Resilience Competition exemplifies how government can work hand-in-hand with the philanthropic and private sectors to create lasting partnerships that will allow us to together face the challenges of tomorrow.”

Yeah, that whole schtick didn’t work so well for Solyndra, did it? On Twitter, the White House’s announcement went something like this:

@SecretaryCastro @WhiteHouse this is blatant socialism. Tax money is not a damn lotto nor is it a prized to be given out by Obama. Crime?? — Jamie Oxenreider (@O____My____God) January 22, 2016

.@WhiteHouse @POTUS How about an open discussion re decades of #ClimateEngineering & #WeatherModification that helped create #ClimateChange — Guerrera Zorra (@TerminatorBarbi) January 21, 2016

.@WhiteHouse @POTUS Here’s an idea: Spend those $Bs on the agencies/programs designed to help #veterans so they don’t die on a waiting list. — Frank Basher (@FrankBasher) January 21, 2016

@WhiteHouse @POTUS Bullshit, an off grid home doesn’t support big oil. — W. Santiago (@MrWillBill) January 21, 2016

@WhiteHouse @POTUS Dont bother with the charade, just give the money to California and New Orleans or burn it, same outcome.

It just went on and on like that. There was maybe one positive comment, although it’s kinda hard to tell:

@WhiteHouse @POTUS #Yespresidentobama #ActOnClimate @HOT1rose

Not that Obama deals with his own Twitter account personally… he has 20 aides hired specifically to do that.

Maybe those people should pay a little more attention to how much seemingly no one on Twitter can stand the president anymore and Tweet accordingly.
