Everybody missed the biggest giveaway in this bill.

Tax incentives will be given to manufacture fuel efficient vehicles in the US as a concession to the UAW.

The UAW is afraid that if the auto manufacturers are pushed to build more fuel efficient vehicles, they would conduct that manufacture offshore where labor costs are less, hence offsetting the price of the technology required to achieve the higher CAFE standards.

So, the bottom line is this:

Your car will cost thousands more so you can save a few hundred dollars on gas.

The UAW will get job protection in form of taxpayer money that will be used to fund Democrat candidates.

Trucks and SUVs will slowly evaporate while our cars will look more like those driven in Europe.
