Buttigieg begs for electric car subsidies as Americans feel pump pain

By Mark Moore and
Samuel Chamberlain   
July 19, 2022

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stunned a Republican member of Congress Tuesday by asking him to help subsidize electric vehicle purchases while millions of Americans struggle to fill up their gas-powered cars.

“The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, ​the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles,” Buttigieg told the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee — just before asking Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) to “reconsider opposing the reduction of EV upfront prices with tax credits.”

“So you’re saying the more pain we have, the more benefit we’re going to get?” a flabbergasted Gimenez asked Buttigieg.

“Of course — no,” Buttigieg chuckled as Gimenez said: “I think that’s what I heard you say.”

“No, no,” the laughing transportation secretary insisted. “That’s what you heard me say?”

This goes beyond "Oh, Hell no!".

Taxpayer money to create superfund sites in the future of discarded batteries and vehicles.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Nope.  I will not comply.  No green energy crappola, climate change crappola or liberal agenda crappola.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I would take the subsidy, buy an EV with it then sell the new EV to someone for a good price. The I could use the funds to put a new supercharger on my Challenger.

The more sado-masochist pain that is inflicted, the better things will be?  Is Butt Gig letting his sexual picadillos creep into his politics in general?
This is just one part of what we now must endure when the hate Trump Crowd got their way.  Thank the biden hos for what they have done and are doing to this Country now.  Satisfied you got your ways and the irreparable damage you have done?
