Okay, so if you were king of the U.S.A. you would remove the credits. Great. But in our current system of government, it sounds like you are choosing C] introduce a bill to remove the credit knowing that it would never get past the Senate or the White House. In effect your action would be to A] keep the tax credit the way it is.

Admittedly, I haven't followed this legislation closely.

But it sounds as if the Donkees put the tax credit in, failing to foresee the result: a really neat, really expensive, luxury electric sports car complete with a gubmint discount.

My position is, we shouldn't allow them to fix their mistake without adopting our doctrinaire (Losertarian) position hook line and sinker!

It's a neat car. Elon Musk is really brilliant for a libtard. But no way should the gubmint be involved!!

“But it sounds as if the Donkees put the tax credit in, failing to foresee the result...”

Actually, George W. Bush signed the tax credit into law, Obama just extended it. Here is a quote from Bush's 2006 State of the Union:

“Keeping America competitive requires affordable energy. And here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. The best way to break this addiction is through technology... We must also change how we power our automobiles. We will increase our research in better batteries for hybrid and electric cars and in pollution-free cars that run on hydrogen.”

Looking back I admit it is a little surprising to hear GWB say those words. Maybe he was feeling a little guilty for letting the allure of cheap oil influence his decision to go into Iraq. I don't know. Either way, the idea of electric cars reducing our oil imports from countries that don't like us is not an idea reserved for democrats.
