Buttigieg is Team Biden’s latest Marie Antoinette

NYP: “Let them drive electric cars.” That is essentially the new line from the Biden White House’s latest Marie Antoinette: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The former mayor of South Bend, Ind., on Sunday claimed that more Americans should purchase electric vehicles so they would “never have to worry about gas prices again.” He added that families with electric vehicles will see a $12,500 discount in transport costs if the Build Back Better bill passes.

Is Team Biden really so politically tone-deaf that its solution to high gas prices is for Americans to buy expensive electric cars? Per Kelley Blue Book, the average price of a new electric vehicle is $55,676. Compare that to the average price of a compact car: $25,240 — less than half the cost of an electric car. Even a $12K handout from Uncle Sam would still leave buyers short.

Besides, how many families struggling to pay an extra $50 a month in gas prices are in the market for a $50,000 electric toy? Buttigieg seems to have forgotten that not every American can afford his lavish, upper-middle-class tastes. more

  1. “never have to worry about gas prices again.”

    Only a moron would believe this. Replace “gas prices” with energy prices. Same difference, you moron.

    I’m beginning to resent stupid people in a hard way lately. When they have a major affect on my life, I think I’m righteous to see them as a mortal threat. They’re pushing too much. We need to push back at every turn.

    Keep your loony logic to yourself and leave me alone. But that doesn’t seem to be an option any more.

  2. And the gasoline tax gets replaced with a by-the-mile tax, the government tracks your every move by GPS, and your fancy new car can lock you in and drive you to the nearest detention center by remote command. Wheeeee!

  3. If you want The real lowdown on Electric cars just watch the TAXI drivers.

    5 years ago they were all getting Hybrid Toyota Camry’s. Currently, they seem to be switching back to the basic 4 cylinder Camry. Every one of them I asked said that there were 2 major issues.
    1) Repair costs, esp. brakes & batteries
    2) Loss of enough trunk space that airport runs were sometimes a problem.

    That is what i have been observing in Toronto in the last 3 years.
    You cities may be different.

  4. A senile pedophile a witless whore, and an moronic ass licking queer.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Perversion and infanticide is the glue that keeps Demonrats together in service to Satan.

    Listening to the evil pouring out of Sotomayors pie hole yesterday made me sick. These Luciferians are just black hearted demons.
