Liberals don’t seem to care for the idea of trickle down economics when put forward by the Republicans and which have a track record (Reagan era) of actually working, unlike their idea of ‘fair share’ which basically just taxes everyone into oblivion.

The exception to this is when someone else’s money (some from foreign governments like China or Saudi Arabia) is given in bulk for something like DEI or transgender issues. In those cases, everyone is a winner.

From Open the Books, a little bit of info on liberal trickle downs:

UT Austin DEI spending:

The university also spent over $381,000 last year on organizations with a DEI purpose, according to its vendor spending records. The records don’t specify what the spending is for — whether a grant, payment for a service or goods.

National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity received the largest figure from UT Austin of any DEI-related organization — $125,000.

The university gave $69,000 to the Equal Justice Center, which provides free legal services to undocumented immigrants, and $74,250 to the Austin Justice Coalition, which “serves people who are historically and systematically impacted by gentrification, segregation, over policing, a lack of educational and employment opportunities, and other institutional forms of racism in Austin.”

The San Antonio-based Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, Inc. got $37,500, the Austin chapter of NAACP got $10,000.

DAWA — Diversity Awareness and Wellness in Action — collected $25,000 from the university.

Brooklyn-based Transgender Equity Consulting Inc was paid $15,000, while Ann Arbor-based consulting firm Inclusion Nation received almost $21,000.

The Institute for Democratic Education and Culture, “a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of education, racial and social justice, cultural literacy, leadership development and activism” received $2,500.

Seems like everyone got a piece of that particular pie. But now that the state of Texas has put the kibosh on public spending for DEI, we’ll see what happens.
