Washington Post -- Nancy Mace (R-SC) Asks Trump To Unfreeze Mercedes Electric Vehicle Funds For South Carolina. She Loves Joe Biden's Program!

[Dr. Phosphorous]

The program, set up through President Joe Biden’s climate law, would benefit a Mercedes-Benz plant in South Carolina.

Oh look, MAGAs.....an imbecile, full-of-shit Republican like Nancy Mace is now begging Trump to continue Joe Biden's clean energy programs and tax credits.

It looks like Mace is all about socialism for her ruby red state of South Carolina!!


From the Washington Post --

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) privately asked the Trump administration on Tuesday to release funding for a Mercedes-Benz plant to convert to the production of electric vehicles, according to a letter obtained by The Washington Post.

In a two-page letter to Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Mace asked the administration to disburse roughly $285 million for the Mercedes-Benz Vans plant northwest of Charleston, South Carolina, through a grant program approved as part of the Biden administration’s 2022 climate legislation. The grant money is part of a $1.8 billion program for shuttered or at-risk auto plants to manufacture electric vehicles and convert their supply chains.

The Trump administration has moved to withhold funding for former president Joe Biden’s climate programs and is also seeking to repeal hundreds of billions of dollars in federal clean energy incentives as part of the tax bill being debated by the Senate.

But Mace’s letter illustrates the tension some GOP lawmakers face as they seek to support Trump’s agenda while shielding the jobs that some of Biden’s programs brought to their own constituents.

Mace writes that the German company’s efforts to produce a light-duty electric van prototype would add 800 jobs, attract additional capital to the region and “ensure America-made options remain available in the commercial vehicle sector.” Mace’s district includes much of the Charleston area.

“We strongly support President Trump’s initiative to restore fiscal responsibility within the executive branch, particularly in reducing waste, fraud, and redundancies. While we understand and support the necessity of such measures, we believe that federal investments should continue to prioritize projects with sustained economic growth,” the letter states.

More from the Washington Post --

Democrats have maintained that Trump’s opposition to clean energy is leading Republican lawmakers to hurt their own constituents. Roughly 85 percent of the investments unlocked in part by the 2022 law have come in Republican districts, according to an analysis last year by E2, a nonpartisan group.

“These funds were appropriated specifically to help autoworkers stay in their jobs at plants at risk of closing and devastating entire communities,” said Alex Jacquez, who served as a senior official in the Biden administration and is now chief of policy and advocacy at Groundwork Collaborative, a left-leaning think tank. “Nancy Mace and her Republican colleagues talk a big game about reversing EV investments, but when it comes down to it, they know that it means jobs in their districts.”

Some in the GOP have balked at the extent of the cuts. More than a dozen House Republicans this month lobbied the Senate to preserve the clean energy incentives in the tax bill that they had voted through. The Senate version of the legislation would also slow the repeal of some of those provisions, though it, too, would eventually eliminate them.

US taxpayers subsidizing Mercedes, but keeping US jobs. That one is for finer minds than mine to think thru.

 

[Maxdeath]

Well let’s look at this from an impartial sane perspective.
A governor and others would love to have more money flowing into their respective states, they would love to have the possibility of more jobs. Nothing wrong with that.
We have a giant debt. We do not need more but neither side seems to want to cut spending in the hopes of lowering that debt. If we want to spend 1.8 Billion were do we cut that from? Do we cut that 1.8 Billion from SNAP? Welfare or some other program. Maybe but that does nothing to lower our current debt. So if we want to spend that 1.8 we should be required to cut 3.6 Billion from some where.
Or are we just going to keep kicking the can farther down the road in the hopes that it will magically heal itself? We could just keep going until the U.S. dollar is considered useless paper but I doubt even most mentally ill want that.

Just admit that Nancy Mace and all MAGA Repugs are full of shit. She wants Joe Biden's "socialism" in her state.

Have some dignity for once.

Repugs don't give a flying **** about the national debt. If they did, then they wouldn't be trying to pass massive new tax cuts for the rich in Trump's bullshit "Big Beautiful Bill".

What is it with you guys! Do you think this huge government started yesterday? Once the fiat currency was unleashed, the government grew and grew some more. More and more programs added. Then they destroyed manufacturing spewing we are moving onto the service economy. The taxes got so high that tax breaks were given. Check out the Prog cities and permanent tax cuts, tax cuts for a period of years and/or deferments they give out. It is so ad now that a commie is running in New York. Proposing Government stores, supermarkets, free public transit, lower apartment costs, etc. And all subsidized by the taxpayers. People are moving out of these areas.

You really seem to have me cunfused with your cult or the other. You people prove all the time that yes you are mentally ill as you self identified. I am an independent that is in fact very concerned about the debt. I see neither cult willing to do anything but pretend the other is evil and could care less about the country. All they care about is being in power. Whatever it takes. Though I will give your cult one thing over the other. They lie more and are worse as far as mental heath.

Great comeback, lightweight.

And she is trying to increase jobs for South Carolina. What exactly is your MAGA imbecile problem with that?

Trying to pretend that you are objective...what a joke.

If you were objective, then you would admit that the Republican Party always make the national debt far worse with their massive tax cuts for the rich.
