While Bidenomics is devouring a bigger share of Americans’ income, “Bidenbucks” is chewing up more of their federal tax dollars. But at least the rising cost of everything from gas to groceries is clear — all too clear — to the U.S. consumer. The price tag for the federally funded get-out-the-vote campaign to elect Democrats remains unknown to the electorate.
And it appears President Joe Biden’s administration plans to keep it that way, congressional subpoenas be damned.
On June 13, U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, chairman of the Committee on House Administration, issued subpoenas to 15 administration cabinet members seeking documents related to Biden’s executive order sold as “Promoting Access to Voting.” He gave the agency chiefs until Wednesday, June 26 to comply. They haven’t.
“Not a single agency has responded with their strategic plan or with any details about the implementation of the EO,” the Wisconsin Republican said in a statement to The Federalist. “Additionally, we know that as many as 40 outside groups assisted and advised the agencies on implementation – we have received nothing on the role these groups played in the design of the strategic plans.”
In an interview late last month on NewsRadio 1040 WHO in Des Moines, Steil told me that “there is absolutely no excuse” for the agencies not to turn over the documents. He said the American people have a right to know how their tax dollars are being spent.
‘No One Knows’
But the Biden administration has never been much for transparency
