Biden Caused These Green Job Losses With His Climate Tax Act

President Biden sold the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as a giant climate jobs program, but then how does he explain what happened Friday at the Stellantis Jeep Cherokee plant in Belvidere, Illinois?

Some 1,350 workers are losing their jobs so the automaker can finance its government-mandated and subsidized electric-vehicle expansion. [emphasis, links added]


Stellantis broke the news to workers on Friday that it will idle the Cherokee plant in February, citing “the increasing cost related to the electrification of the automotive market.” Merry Christmas!

The Jeep Cherokee has been a popular model, though the plant has cut shifts since 2019.

Some things never change.  John Deere started in Illinois but was driven across the river to Iowa by Illinois' fiscal policies. :thud:

Doesn't Caterpillar have a big presence in Illinois, as well?
How long until they see the light and move out...?
