On Thursday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that building eight electric vehicle charging stations so far under the Inflation Reduction Act’s $7.5 billion investment in electric vehicle charging stations is “on track.” Because most construction will occur in the second half of the decade.
Co-host Joe Kernen asked, “[O]ur designs on electrification of the auto industry, have we recalibrated there? And I’ll just give you one item and you can — maybe you can explain why, but under the Inflation Reduction Act, 7.5 billion for building these charging stations. The latest information, eight have been built with the 7.5 billion that had been allocated. You’re supposed to get to 500,000 of these charging stations by 2030. What is really the problem with — do you — have you looked at that and figured out why?”

If he figured it out, would he remain holding the unit like a gas hose as kamelinin did? 😵
Rule Number 1 for Democrats - NEVER ADMIT TO FAILURE (or corruption), regardless of how obvious it is.
Perhaps there’s something to learn here for the losers in the GOP.
The State DOT recently replaced a bridge on our road, the bridge spanned a small brook of perhaps 6 to 8 ft in width. The road has been closed for more than a year with a 2 mile detour around it.They still have not completed it. I informed the workers recently that the Empire State building was built in less time and they were closing in on the time required to build the Hoover Dam. They did not seem to care about the time or money it cost. I know if that job was put out for bids by private contractors it would have been done within a month or two and for millions less, and done correctly. State Workers....What a joke! By the way I built my own house and poured the concrete for the walls ,floors and porch 30 years ago and no cracks so I know a bit about concrete technology and construction.
I ain’t seen one out here on the farm yet Pete. I’m starting to get worried because soybean harvest is about a month away and how am I going to charge my electric combine and tractor?
He was a failing mayor of a small Indiana town with his only other job description was homosexual.
Not one politician in D.C. is asking where that money has gone . . .
Because . . .
They already know where that money has gone.
In 1986, the Pentagon officials had to defend large expenditures in their budget in a congressional hearing.
LA Times 1986 headline:
$37 Screws, a $7622 Coffee Maker, $640 Toilet Seats.
Then, in 2019 Rep.Charles Grassley:
Grassley to Defense Dept.: There is No Way to Justify a $10,000 Toilet Seat Lid. 🚽
Cute.
Also explains why critics said “Buttigieg’s got balls to try to convince us he isn’t wasting $7.5 Billion.”
Gov’t workers:
“Don’t kill the job”.
On what, what, what?
informed, informed, informed.
I
tried, tried, tried.
“Bootyjuice wouldn’t know how to use an electrical charging station since it requires putting a “male” end of an electrical plug into the “female” end of an electrical receptor. He has not proficiently practiced the male/female thing.”
If you consider the conductors, the receptor is male and the plug is female.
