Senate Commerce Committee Republicans are concerned about the Biden administration’s use of taxpayer funds for “woke initiatives” in infrastructure projects.

They argue that the Department of Transportation is prioritizing “equity” and “climate change” over traditional infrastructure needs.
 
This is tied to grant programs worth billions of dollars. (Trending: Biden’s Mental Decline Getting Even Worse)

“Billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars meant for infrastructure projects are tied to woke initiatives that are more focused on dismantling America’s infrastructure in the name of ‘equity’ and ‘climate change’ than building roads, bridges, and highways to connect the country,” the memo reportedly stated.

“Congress must not allow the Department of Transportation to push the absurd concept of ‘racist roads’ to prevent Americans from getting much-needed improvements to their highways,” it demanded.

“The funding notices issued by DOT should focus on the law as written, not woke priorities,” insisted the Republicans.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

What’s a racist road?

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

There are actually examples:  superhighways built using land that used to house black families, seize by eminent domain, and positioned to separate the remaining black neighborhood from the rest of the city.
