Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes Biden Administration's Broadband Program in Oversight Hearing

Summary

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly criticized the Biden administration’s Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program during a House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing. She highlighted the program’s $42 billion investment, which has yet to connect any households to broadband in Georgia, calling it a significant policy failure.

Greene’s remarks come in the context of the program, which aims to ensure universal access to high-speed internet by 2030, with Georgia receiving $1.3 billion from the initiative. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Brendan Carr echoed Greene’s concerns, noting that after 1,039 days since the program’s inception, not a single household has been connected. He suggested that the funds might be mismanaged, focusing on climate change and diversity initiatives rather than directly addressing internet connectivity. This criticism was further amplified by billionaire Elon Musk, who described the program as a “staggeringly bad waste of money.”
