Manchin is a LIAR

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) issued a warning to the Biden administration this week, threatening a lawsuit if an anticipated guidance from the Treasury Department seeks to circumvent restrictions that he added to a law on electric vehicle tax credits.
Manchin told reporters this week that if the guidance, expected Friday, “goes off the rails” or otherwise goes around what he intended, “I’ll do whatever I can and that means going to court.”
The Democrats’ climate, tax and healthcare bill eliminated a cap on how many electric vehicles could be eligible for consumer tax credits. However, it also included new stipulations on which vehicles are eligible for the credit.

Manchin really is a dumbs*t for someone who is so corrupt. Usually you have to be a bit clever to keep your stories straight.
“Which vehicles are eligible”
Picking and choosing?
Here are the changes:
1. Now there's no longer a 200K car limit like the prior EV tax credit. (In other words, automakers like Tesla and GM that long passed the 200K limit can now honestly say buying their car gives the consumer a $7,500 tax credit.)
2. Half of the credit ($3,750) requires the car's battery be assembled either in the U.S. or a country we have a free trade agreement with.
3. The other half of the credit requires the battery's minerals be mined and processed in the U.S. (or a country we do free trade with).
Basically the Dims will still try to block mining and processing rare-earths here. They'll push for us to have "free trade" with China (but China not doing free trade with us on their end).
Manchin co authored the most anti 2A legislation under Obama and WV turned around and voted for him the next year and every year after.
Manchin is a DUPLICITOUS TOOL! The worst of the worst IMHO.
Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energy DON’T WORK TOGETHER!
Because, you drive your EV during the day and charge it at night after the sun has set and the winds have calmed.
Fake moderate “look at me - I’m independent - vote for me again and ignore the fact I give Schumer most of what he wants”
Union labor forced to donate moneh to the Dems?
Joe got played and is now on a rehabilitation tour. Jim Justice is breathing down his neck - and he’s more popular than JM.
Even Dementia Joe is laughing at you, Manchun.
Manchin is such a stupid diphsit.
My own Senior senator is not much better.
Dang you are so right. Manchin is a total idiot.
WTH is THIS???
A SECRET DEAL (or LIE) made to Manchin for his vote of course!{{
