Dana Pico exposes a sad truth about government “helping” Americans, it never helps. Take the case of the government helping Americans get Electric vehicles!
The so-called Inflation Reduction Act was supposed to, you know, reduce inflation, right? A lot of people thought it was festooned with all sorts of things which had nothing to do with inflation, and one of those things was the Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit:
So, you might wonder how giving tax credits raises coat of acquiring said vehicles……Well
The tax credit is up to $7,500 for purchase of a new, plug-in electric, and since President Biden and his
supervisorssubordinates very much want to have Americans gobbling the things up, that $7,500 credit is supposed to help consumers who just can’t quite afford the things be able to say, “OK, yeah, with this tax credit, we can go ahead and buy a Ford Mustang Mach E!”
Oops!
