JASON: When it comes to the green energy nonsense, understand this: The Democrats are pushing electric vehicles on America. Now, you can\u2019t afford them. If you\u2019re wealthy and you\u2019re a trust fund brat out in San Francisco, you can afford them, but you can\u2019t. Understand this. The Highway Trust Fund — I was on Transportation and Infrastructure as well — is broke. They don\u2019t have enough user-fee revenue, so they gotta steal from general revenues to do something that should be a user-pays system.<\/p>\n
Guess who\u2019s getting a free ride on this? Electric vehicles! They pay no gasoline tax, the primary funder. They get a $7,500 subsidy when folks buy them, and that\u2019s what they want to expand? They want to…? The reason I bring this up is every time oil prices spike because we\u2019re basically banning energy production, they just say, “We\u2019ll just drive an electric vehicle!” You\u2019ll have no roads then, folks. But here\u2019s why oil prices didn\u2019t skyrocket as of a couple of years ago when Rush talked about it.<\/a><\/p>\n
