He's not wrong about the EV credits in the current situation, being that it doesn't make sense to subsidize an EV car when the demand is already through the roof. It won't always be this way though, once they are able to ramp up supply. I don't have a problem with the EV credits, but I think they should be a little smaller and not phase out for certain cars once they sell a certain #.
The 'demand' issue's a fair point. Back in the 90's fledgling green industries were given preferential allowances, e.g. the federal government in their procurement practices required purchased paper to contain a certain minimum percentage of recycled content. Locally this came in the form of 'premium price' allowances above the current market price for items that contained a certain percentage content of either post-industrial and/or post-consumer content. In short help the green baby to crawl up until it can walk on its own.
As to providing student loan relief, all well and good but in the haste to demand
"total & absolute relief now!" some underlying causes keep getting ignored: the tuition hikes that outpaced inflation on the institutional end and the usury rates that loanees are unfairly subjected to. Reduce the tuition hikes ('now!') that institutions used guaranteed loans to take advantage of. As for the loans themselves, restructure them so that loanees are not buried under them ad infinitum. Fix the SYSTEM. Or...fvck it....make college tuition-free...the institutional sector will love that since they'll continue getting their bloated tuition dollars - why should they care where it comes from? Gov't for
all the people?
'look for the union label..'"Eh Bluey, who ARRRE these people?...do we know them?"
"Pay them no mind dear.....they're merely ignorant."
