[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m glad.  The Democrats really need to do a much better job selling this landmark bill to the public.  Democrats traditionally suck at messaging.

But I’m glad.  It’s far from perfect but I’m old enough not to let perfect be the enemy of good. [/quote]

I hope the Democrats can understand that the Senate was completely divided over this. It’s not like this thing was so obviously good that it could be supported unanimously. If we had a different administration there’d be a lot more trust this would be done right.

There’s so much division in America. It would be so crass for Democrats to take this thing and hammer Republicans who are already furious about how the Presidency was stolen from Donald Trump. Who in Arkansas is purchasing induction stovetops? Who I’m Mississippi is purchasing an electric car? Who in Tennessee is purchasing solar panels? See? All these climate things are directed to BLUE states. Because they can afford to front the money to get these things. So it’s not right to trumpet an “accomplishment” that only benefits their voters. Do better.[/quote]

Psst, just here from the south with a fact check.

1.  We do have electric cars (I own one).

2. In general, people dont own solar panels, they lease them through a company like solar city.

3.  We dont generally have induction stoves. When I went househunting, the homes were almost entirely gas Dacor or Wolf.

Im a republican and dont have an issue with the kind of items promoted. I have an issue with its name (the purpose is clearly green energy, not inflstion reduction).  While I worry that we are not investing in oil and gas while we still need it, it would be good to have more incentives for people to choose electric cars.   I dont think you'll ever sell the south on induction stoves. That isnt a money thing, it is a preference thing. [/quote]

Psst...what investments in oil and gas does the government need to make? There are THOUSANDS of untapped wells in the US on public lands. [/quote]

Mostly in the back end-- refineries and distribution.[/quote]

So you believe the government should be investing in private sector refineries and means of distribution? Like, that is literally socialism![/quote]

Wait until you hear about the farm bill![/quote]
