I’m sure everyone would be thrilled to give up more of their money, see the economy get ravaged more just as it is slowly coming back, and have government slap tons of restrictions on their lives, right?
Will climate action this year matter in the midterms?
Congressional Democrats think they’ve found a way to head off the trouncing they’re expected to receive in the midterm elections: Pass their aggressive climate change agenda.
As congressional leaders and President Biden pick up the pieces and plot the future for at least some provisions of the $1.7 trillion “Build Back Better Act,” many Democrats are pushing for the $555 billion in climate spending, and tying it to the elections.
Supporters argue that voters will reward Democrats in November if they pass the massive package that includes new electric vehicle subsidies, clean energy tax incentives, funding for electric grid infrastructure and other policies.
They are offering warnings that voters who gave Democrats control of the White House, Senate and House in the 2020 election cycle might not return to the polls if they don’t deliver on the high expectations they set on climate.
“Voters want us to get stuff done. I think most voters realize that climate change is real, it’s getting worse, not better, and we need to do something,” Senate Environment and Public Works Chair Tom Carper (D-Del.) told reporters. “And to the extent we can do something to create some jobs, I think they’re all for that.”
Go for it. I’m sure the Elites in the Dem party who are pushing this will love it. You know, the ones who won’t see their freedom curtailed, don’t worry about their own use of fossil fuels, and can easily afford an EV for those times when they want to climavirtue signal. But, take limos and private jets when needed.
If the GOP is smart in their messaging, and that’s always suspect and iffy, they’d make sure people know what the Dems “climate” push will lead to, because, again, it might be popular in theory, but, not in practice.
Our esteemed host quoted:
Which is all the more reason for the GOP to block it.
Then again, if it does pass, what we’ll actually see will be welfare for the well-to-do. New electric vehicle subsidies? Since you have to be fairly well off to buy a new car in the first place, most taxpayers are going to realize that those subsidies aren’t for them, but for their bosses. Clean energy tax incentives? Those will benefit the people who already have enough money to change out their HVAC systems.
Even if the cockamamie legislation were to pass, it wouldn’t create any new jobs before the election.
