    Back to the conspiracies for the right wing bozos. Can never debate with actual facts or policies. What's "cute" is you thinking you're "smart" or "knowledgeable."

    I am specifically stating the credit should be given to his administration. He has a strong administration.

    Trump on the other hand completely ignored his administration.

    This Tears It: Biden Supporters Are Forever Ethically Estopped From Complaining About Trump’s “Lies”
    MARCH 15, 2023 / JACK MARSHALL

    The point at which Trump-Deranged, pro-Biden warriors could credibly claim that the current President is any less prone to uttering counter-factual fantasy than the previous one passed long before Joe Biden was elected, but it officially reached the absurdity level during Biden’s soft-ball interview with actor Kal Penn, who was guest hosting “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central.

    When Penn asked Biden about his “evolution” on same-sex marriage, the perpetually addled POTUS exploded informed and objective heads all over America with this self-evident fiction, saying that in 1960, when he was in high school, Biden was momentarily shocked to see two men kissing. He saidthat his dad turned to him and said, “Joey, it’s simple, they love each other,” and that Joe adopted that approach ever since. “Doesn’t matter whether it’s same-sex or a heterosexual couple, they should be able to be married,” Biden told Penn. “What is the problem? So, listen to your auntie and uncle, get married. Do it now.”

    That was an utter and complete fabrication, though Penn didn’t challenge it, either because he doesn’t know enough about Biden to conduct a competent interview, or because he doesn’t have the guts to call out an obvious lie.

    To begin with, in 1960 gays were completely closeted: I don’t believe Biden saw two men kissing, and I don’t believe that, if he did, his father would have said, “Hey, it’s no big deal! This is 1960!” Furthermore, the idea of same sex marriage was barely a twinkle in the eye of the most creative gay activist alive then. Homosexual relations were illegal in most states. The term “gay” wasn’t even in common use.

    More specific to Joe, however, is that if he believed in gay love’s legitimacy since he was in high school, why did he have such a long and unequivocal record of opposing gay rights and the legal recognition of same-sex couples? In 1973, long after he graduated high school, Senator Biden told his Delaware constituents that his “gut reaction” to a question about gays working for the federal government was that they would be “security risks.” In 1996, Senator Biden voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, which declared that states were not required to recognize same-sex marriages performed in another state and defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. Two years earlier, Biden was supported a measure proposed by Republican Senators. Robert Smith of New Hampshire and Jesse Helms of North Carolina that cut federal funds to schools that taught acceptance of homosexuality. During an appearance on “Meet the Press” in 2006, Biden said in part, “Look, marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that.”

    Conclusion: Biden made up his story about his pro-love father and his “Love is Love” epiphany.

    Pointing out that Donald Trump can’t be accused of a false assertion any more obviously made up isn’t “whataboutism.” It’s “haveyounosenseofdecencyism.” Biden supporters reveal themselves as absolute hypocrites on an Olympian scale by harping on Trump’s undeniable (but still exaggerated) problems with facts while holding on to the always ridiculous claim that Biden would restore honor to the Presidency.

    This calls for the application of ethics estoppel. You can’t complain about Trump and let Biden get away with claiming to be a high school gay marriage advocate in 1960. Yes, he’s senile, but dementia victims forget things; they don’t usually remember, as Biden told Penn “exactly where my epiphany was” when there was no such epiphany.

    So shut up. Your guy is at least a compulsive a liar as Trump. Find some other rationalization for pretending he isn’t a disaster.

    Biden really needs to just get rid of that straw all over his head.

    There's nothing wrong with this:

    The Real Cost of the Inflation Reduction Act Subsidies: $1.2 Trillion
    Goldman Sachs says the uncapped tax credits will cost three times what Democrats claimed.
    By The Editorial Board
    March 24, 2023 at 6:50 pm ET

    The Inflation Reduction Act may go down as one of the greatest confidence tricks on taxpayers in history. Democrats used accounting gimmicks to claim the partisan law would reduce the budget deficit. But now a Goldman Sachs report projects its myriad green subsidies will cost $1.2 trillion—more than three times what the law’s supporters claimed.

    The Congressional Budget Office forecast that the IRA’s energy and climate provisions would cost $391 billion between 2022 and 2031, but this appears to be a huge under-estimate. One reason is companies are rushing to cash in on tax credits that aren’t capped. The Biden Administration is also loosely interpreting conditions for the credits.

    By Goldman’s estimate, the IRA tax credits will cost tens to hundreds of billions more than CBO estimated over 10 years. The forecast misses include electric vehicles (difference: $379 billion), green energy manufacturing ($156 billion), renewable electricity production ($82 billion), energy efficiency ($42 billion), hydrogen ($36 billion), biofuels ($34 billion) and carbon capture ($31 billion).

    Goldman says the difference in the EV credit estimates owes to its projection that more vehicles will meet the law’s “self-sufficiency” mineral and battery material conditions for the partial $3,750 consumer credit and full $7,500 credit. But even Goldman’s estimate for the EV credit could be low if Treasury loosely interprets the credit conditions, which is what auto makers are lobbying for.

    Auto makers are also racing to take advantage of a tax credit for locally manufactured battery cells and modules by setting up plants in the U.S. Similar to Goldman’s estimate, an analysis last month by Mercatus Center fellow Christine McDaniel projected that the tax credit for battery production could cost up to $196.5 billion.

    Ford’s Michigan plant with Chinese battery maker CATL alone could cost $1.5 billion annually in credits. Goldman estimates the tax credit could shave the cost of battery production by 35% to 42%, though EVs would still cost 17% more than vehicles with internal combustion engines. While tax credits will improve auto maker EV margins, it’s not clear whether they will make EVs profitable.

    Goldman predicts the IRA will “drive” $3 trillion in climate investments—that is, reallocate $3 trillion in capital across the economy. Oil and gas companies will spend less on increasing production and more on developing carbon capture technologies, hydrogen and biofuels that are profitable only with the IRA’s rich tax credits. Expect energy prices to rise.

    Goldman says green subsidies will benefit companies across the economy—from aluminum manufacturers to agriculture producers. This will make it politically more difficult for Republicans to roll back the subsidies if they gain control of the White House and Congress. Subsidies will also be “deployed meaningfully” in states like Texas with large GOP Congressional caucuses, Goldman notes.

    Eliminating the tax credits, Goldman adds, would constitute an “effective tax increase,” which Republicans may be loath to vote for. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis last year vetoed a bill that would have scaled back rooftop solar subsidies after the solar lobby denounced it as a “tax.” Will Republicans have the courage to claw back the green handouts going to their business friends?

    Democrats have created an enormous new corporate entitlement whose costs will increase on autopilot and blow up the deficit while raising energy prices for average Americans. Congratulations, Sen. Manchin.
