  1. Ain’t happening, fuck you if you think I’ll let Biden get credit for anything 

  2. Boosting the middle class, narrowing the wage gap, bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US, lessening dependence on China, lowering energy costs, cleaning the air and slowing climate change. Oh, and reducing the deficit as well. And drug prices.

    Seriously, what’s not to like? Republicans – “Nah. We’re with the rapist.” What’s wrong with this country?

  3. What’s the cost per job? If the cost per job is higher than the tax revenue collected from the job, then it is effectively charity as the rest of the tax payers are subsidizing it.

  5. It’s been a boon since it was introduced and passed, and to block funds is wrong. The Republicans rooting for this will have to answer to their constituents why their district is losing jobs. Fortunately, the courts are seeing that this is wrong, and lawsuits could mean those funds can come back.

    In the meantime, the only meaningful way to get green energy back on track in this country is elections, and yes, they’ve still been happening since January 20th. Democratic candidates in places like Iowa and Oklahoma have flipped seats, and it’s all thanks to the people of r/VoteDEM for getting the word out. You can help them too, because we’ll be needing it come March 11th, when we will be able to see whether the old seats of Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz can be flipped.

  6. They don’t care if they lose their jobs, as long as they get to pwn the libs by polluting their own air and water.

  8. Fuck the Republicans who voted for this shit. Let them lose their jobs. They deserve it.
