Speaking before members of the House Budget Committee on May 11, Center for Renewing American Policy Director Paige Agostin described woke-ness as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wasteful-woke-spending-existentially-dangerous-for-america-conservative-group\/\" title=\"Conservative group warns of dangerous, wasteful 'woke' spending in America.\">identity-based form<\/a> of neo-Marxism that aims to &#8220;tear down the republic, eliminate capitalism, marginalize religion, and rupture the nuclear family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>An Existential Threat to the United States<\/h3>\n<p>Agostin contended that the federal funding of woke programs presented not only a financial risk but an existential threat to the United States. &#8220;Wokeness is now essentially a secular religion crafted by secular elites to supplant the nation&#8217;s Judeo-Christian traditions that have stood the test of time,&#8221; Agostin said. &#8220;It is dangerous\u2014existentially dangerous\u2014for Congress to continue funding the priorities of a neo-Marxist ideology that seeks only to destroy that which has come before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Federal Spending on Woke Policies<\/h3>\n<p>Agostin revealed that the Center for Renewing America had done a deep dive into federal spending on such policies, finding that the federal bureaucracy is a &#8220;significant funder&#8221; of woke policies and programs not only domestically but around the world. Other examples she provided included the incorporation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">critical race theory<\/a> and gender ideology in public schools and the use of federal dollars to promote LGBT programs and events in other countries.<\/p>\n<h3>Every Dollar Should Be Examined<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Woke is the umbrella ideology, and it uses all manner of terms and concepts like equity and inclusion. Every dollar should be examined to determine what, in fact, the country is spending money on,&#8221; Agostin said.<\/p>\n<h3>Unsustainable<\/h3>\n<p>Agostin&#8217;s warning came <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-rick-scott-to-meet-with-trump-at-mar-a-lago-amid-growing-tensions-with-gop\/\" title=\"Sen.
