$8,000 in taxpayer subsidies
Run around town charging your car batteries at taxpayer subsidized charging stations:
$254 million dollars to install charging stations - paid by taxpayers via Stimulus I monies
Go home and plug in so you can run your PC and other items off the free (to you) battery power:
Thousands of dollars worth of "Free to you" electric paid by taxpayer subsidies and Stimulus I monies
Use your battery powered PC to post on D.U., dailykos and Huffington about all the penny-pinching, crazy right wingers who want to cut federal spending and balance the budget:
PRICELESS!
I think you are confusing the Prius with the Chevy Volt. In that case, I agree with you.
