In another episode of bureaucratic chaos meets political blunders, our favorite sleepy president seems to have stumbled into the murky waters of controversial loan forgiveness policies. And here folks, we have the gut punch—it’s not just any loan policy, but one that smacks of racial favoritism. The Biden administration, entangled in a hint of secrecy and shrouded with whispers of bias, managed to steer taxpayer dollars in a genuinely peculiar way. The tale unfolds as a whistleblower from the Department of Agriculture reveals the administration’s parting gift: farm loans forgiven based on race. Who got the pass, you ask? Anyone but white farmers.
It unfolds just like a reverse script from a distant era; only this time the tables have turned. This isn’t fiction folks—white farmers, the backbone of rural America, were left out of the loop. Loans could be forgiven up to 120% of the outstanding amount—but not if you checked that “white” box under ethnicity. The criteria were hitting the nail right on the head of racial prejudice, yet somehow going unnoticed by the big-button-pushing DEI warriors championing equity. You might think this playbook sounds familiar, only it’s sitting on the other side of the moral high ground.
Under the nose of our feisty media and outspoken social justice advocates, the Biden administration included this advantageous bit into the American Rescue Plan Act. The list of beneficiaries? Well, pretty much anyone who wasn’t a white male, advantaging groups that Democrats love to hold in the limelight of their crusade. It’s a funny twist of fate when practices long condemned are now exercised in reverse, only this time to a more resounding silence.
Now, let’s observe this through Trump’s eyes. Farmers played a pivotal role in Trump’s ascension to power, yet Biden’s lapse in color-neutral governance seems to strike a nerve back to the agri-rich belt states. A federal judge halted the policy after lawsuits challenged its racial criteria. The Biden administration attempted to address these issues by rolling out a new program under the Inflation Reduction Act, which aimed to offer broader criteria and address similar issues, though these distinctions were conflated at times.
And our columnist here has one word: Accountability! The irony of DEI initiatives costly burdening every speaking taxpayer serves as a baffling narrative of American governance. Room for doubt narrows as the USDA’s lack of transparency only galvanizes the conservative thrust for change. Those yearning for justice may now be hollering for handcuffs! As these stories loom over the American landscape, raising the flags of righteousness and echoing whispers in the corridors of power—one thing stands vibrant: race should never be the rubber stamp for financial forgiveness.
