PINO Biden: 'we can beat Putin if we get rid of gas driven cars and go for $56,000 electric cars

"The thing, the thing . . . dammit"

With inflation skyrocketing at the gas pump, and our PINO Joe Biden refusing to return to energy independence as it was in the Trump administration, Biden is hoping it will wear us all out and we will give up and buy electric cars at an average cost of around $56,000. He doesn't realize the average American has no deals going on with predator government. We don't have a bag man like Hunter gathering up millions and lining our pockets. That is how out of touch this alleged President is with the American people. 

Biden on Tuesday banned Russian oil import to the US claiming he is "targeting the main artery of Russia's economy," even though we only use a small percentage of the oil they export. It's like us busting our butts to go green [which we have already accomplished compared to the rest of the planet] while China and India refuse to play that game as China grows its economy and power while we proudly fly the rainbow flag and worry about a diverse military rather than a deadly one.

“Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at US ports and the American people will deal another powerful blow to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s war machine,” the house plant said. 

The President Prepares for Bed

Biden has set a historical record in just over a year of his so-called presidency: gasoline prices have hit the highest price in U.S. history and soon it may cost as much as designer spring water. The national average for gas according to AAA on March 8 was $4.17 and Biden still has a long way to go in the Oval Office if his batteries don't completely run out.

A tank of gas for a small size car is over $50 and $80 for larger cars. That isn't as bad for the rich as it is for the middle and lower middle class workers, many who depend on their vehicles to get to work. The choices they will have to make will be choosing to fill up the fridge or the gas tank.

Perhaps folks can find jobs closer to home or one that's downhill from their home and downhill from the office too.

If somehow Democrats win in the midterm elections, then we deserve this asinine government and what they do to us good and hard.

Speaking of gas, Biden is gas lighting us by saying his overt attempt at destroying our energy industry isn't destroying America's energy industry. Like his VP Kamala Harris who describes the Ukraine-Russia war in kindergarten terms, Biden thinks the American public is stupid, proving he is stupid.

“It’s simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production, that’s simply not true,” Biden mumbled and whispered and make the Joker face.

I could go on and quote that moron, but I'd be wasting good digital space.

Finally, don't believe the crap that electric vehicles are cleaner energy machines than gas driven cars. Not only are the batteries for them that may need replacement as costly as $10,00 to $20,000, but the disposal of these batteries are toxic time bombs and the "clean" electricity used to charge these batteries come most often from coal-driven generators.

Illinois electric car owners may be charged $1000 a year under new law

Electric automobile owners in Illinois could take a large hit to their bank accounts after Democratic lawmakers in the state proposed an extreme hike in registration fees for electronic vehicles in the state.

The new proposal would increase the annual registration fee to $1,000, slightly higher than the current $17.50. 

Unfair you say?

State officials believe the legislation will raise $2.4 billion for future projects, the major one being roadway improvement, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The bill was introduced last week by Chicago state Sen. Martin Sandoval, obviously a Democrat, who says the registration fee hike is necessary to help fund needed infrastructure improvements.

“Capital bills in Springfield are like the second coming of the cicadas — every 10 years — and that’s not the way to go in regards to funding our infrastructure,” Sandoval told NPR Illinois. “This is a transformational model. And hopefully, when we get done with passing this sustainable capital bill, we won’t have to have another press conference like this 10 years from now.”

The bill would also make things more expensive for residents who drive gas-driven cars. The state's gas tax would go up 19 cents to 44 cents a gallon, fees for driver’s licenses would double and the registration fee for non-electric vehicles would go up nearly 50% from $98 to $148.

Unfair, you say?

“It’s outrageous,” Tesla owner Nicoletta Skarlatos, 56, told the Chicago Tribune. “I thought Illinois was progressive and would want to encourage EV (electric vehicle) ownership.”

Now you understand the definition of 'progressive.' It's how leftists feel good about themselves.

The rationale for the extreme hikes are that electric vehicles don't provide the state any gas tax revenue. One reason beyond the pollution question is that some folks just don't want to pay gasoline prices. But thanks to the progressives in Illinois, they get to pay a higher tax for that very reason.

Electric vehicle companies Tesla and Rivian say they're against the legislation.

“Imposing fees on EVs that are over 400 percent more than their gasoline-powered counterparts is not only unfair, it discourages promising new technology that will reduce our dependence on petroleum, reduce emissions, and promote the Illinois economy,” Rivian spokesman Michael McHale told the Chicago Tribune.

Sandoval says people who drive hybrids and plug-in electric hybrids won't have to pay the higher registration fee.

Unfair, you say?

This isn't the first time Illinois used a new program to raise additional revenue from local residents.

From 2010-2015, 1.2 million motorists in Chicago received 1.5 million tickets as part of the city's red-light and speed camera programs. Residents filed a class action lawsuit, alleging the programs violated the rights of over a million people after the city took more than $285 million, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The city agreed to settle, with the average resident getting about $36.62. 

Those who had paid their tickets before the lawsuit were screwed.

Officials hope the new gas and electric hikes raise eight times the amount of the red-light and speed camera programs. If not, they will find other ways to tax local residents. 

Maybe they could start taxing water and air.
