The Latest Biden-Harris Madness: Funding DEI Instead of Protecting Undersea Cables

The latest Biden-Harris proposed budget wants an additional $17 million for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and “environmental justice” spending — at the expense of ships to repair and replace the priceless undersea cables that are the backbone of the internet.

Democrats always have money to spare for DEI. In this case, the Biden-Harris proposed spending plan found it by slashing $10 million in funding for the Cable Security Fleet (CSF), an item in the Marine Administration’s budget in the Department of Transportation. This vital program would repair and replace the key undersea cables that connect the American internet to the rest of the world, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
