Granholm Defends Inflation Bill By Explaining How Americans Can Spend More Money On Their Homes

The Biden Administration’s energy secretary Jennifer Granholm was schooled by CNN’s “State of the Union” host Brianna Keilar, Sunday, after making a series of comments regarding the Inflation Reduction Act.

The comments came after Keilar noted that there are three studies that show the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act will have no major impact on inflation and many major items in the bill will not take effect until 2023 or later, a clip of which was shared on Twitter. “So what specifically will this bill do to lower costs for Americans right now?” Keiler asked Granholm.

“First of all, immediately, people will be able to lower their fuel costs in their homes,” before describing how families can only lower these costs if they can prove they have installed energy efficient windows and other appliances on their homes.

“That is right away. Then, on top of that of course, if citizens want to install solar panels on their roofs so that they can generate their own power, that’s another 30% tax credit,” Granholm continued, “and of course there are the tax credits that are at the dealership for the automotive sector for electric vehicles and if you install an electric vehicle charging station in your home, you can get a tax credit.”

[LMAO]

The Biden administration has become a jobs program for people who would fail miserably in the private sector

Why would I want to spend money installing solar panels on my roof when I live in a state that has limited sun for 6 months out of the year and the roof is covered with snow?

Why would I want to buy an electric vehicle when I have two perfectly good gas-powered ones that are fully paid for, and have low mileage on them?

Well, comrade, seems you need…shall we say, reeducation. You see, it takes wide scale use of renewable energy to save the planet from weather. Don’t you want to do your part?

Yeah. When hell freezes over. Lord save us from social engineers and masterminds.

At our age we'll never see the supposed 'return' on going solar.  We were quoted $23,000 and that was with a company that couldn't provide backup batteries that would run our air and refrigerator.  We have a generator that will run our air, small appliances and switch off and on to run or refrigerator and freezer.

We also have two vehicles that are paid for with low mileage that run just fine.

So, why oh why, should we waste our $$ on items that we don't need or want?  Just because the 'greenies' say we need them for the sake of some bogus climate change socialist agenda?

Let's Go Brandon!

This is the nonsense you get from people who have never put a nut on a bolt, made or removed a weld, poured concrete, driven a nail, much less operated heavy equipment (and I include farm machinery in that).

They have a pocket full of wild-eyed theories, but no clue how things actually work because they've never dealt with anything but theories. In their rush to eschew all things blue-collar as 'beneath' them, they have lost sight of how to pour water out of a boot, even if the directions are written on the heel.

Right!

I have no Jones's to keep up with.

“First of all, immediately, people will be able to lower their fuel costs in their homes,” before describing how families can only lower these costs if they can prove they have installed energy efficient windows and other appliances on their homes.

So run right out there and buy $5000 worth of windows and replace those crappy vinyl ones you could barely afford  to replace the last few years.

“That is right away. Then, on top of that of course, if citizens want to install solar panels on their roofs so that they can generate their own power, that’s another 30% tax credit,” Granholm

Your average off-grid solar system starts at $15k and is a helluva lot more than solar panels.

continued, “and of course there are the tax credits that are at the dealership for the automotive sector for electric vehicles and if you install an electric vehicle charging station in your home, you can get a tax credit.”

So where does a decent electric car start? $50k? And another few grand (or ten) to an electrician that might be able to show up yet this year...

Anybody got a pencil? This tax credit is getting expensive.

No kidding

I would go bankrupt with all theses savings
