This is indeed a budget -- a budget -- are just days are really needs.

We are starting to learn exactly what's in the president's what he 600 page budget why you ask.

Because we're reading it.

Filed under federal receipts page 197.

In the analytical perspectives sections is this little -- -- did you not.

The president raising the tax credit on the purchase of electric vehicles.

To ten grand from 7500.

Dollars.

But -- vehicles like -- barely Sally is this the best use of your tax dollars a lot more stuff like that in there.

Pennsylvania Republican congressman Mike Kelly not at all happy about it but you know it's just it was like sort of like a buried headline and there are many like that congressman.

I don't know what 101000 dollars is gonna do that 7500 did not.

Well you know what it.

-- that's why introduced HR 3768.

To unplug the subsidies on electric vehicles it's time for the American people they should be outraged and thanks for carrying the story.

We need as a people to come together -- stop wasting our money this is all taxpayer money.

This is a president who doesn't know how to control his spending and in in Italy it reveals mattered and because it's not his money that he's wasting it jurors in mind the rest of taxpayers.

101000 dollars is 7500.

Would sell it let's -- ten grand -- my question is he wants a million of them on the road.

That's -- ten billion dollar cost to the American taxpayer that's absolutely ludicrous and again you know what fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on meet.

This guys -- done and done things are -- -- praise of the venture capitalist in chief has gone crazy he's.

Getting your money in my you know yeah I actually what people love these electric cars by the way you're quite right that the jury has more than out on -- -- -- on a home on the planet.

But but but then let the market decide.

I'm by the way of the people who are buying these were told -- pretty well Leo there 150000 and over and encompass.

So I I dare say a great many of them might not need that credit but having said that.

Let it let it survive based on them.

In place yet and you and I both know a good product doesn't need subsidized.

A bad product doesn't matter how much money you throw at it it won't sell -- this is science we enter the market.

This is again a big waste of taxpayer money we need to blow the whistle -- I love your your your.

-- went -- in the background it is a taxpayer alert.

This is a danger.

-- there are many more like that you know I wish we -- all hours and tried to do like -- Charlie Rose thing hinges on not.

But I'm Italian there is so much ado here we're we're just seamless and they -- not to this budget does occur because the senate won't -- take it up.

That's -- our reads please and he knows.

I guess what a Turkey it is -- so -- -- we go what does this mean.

Well I think that in a country like -- we have about a year to really come forward and make a statement if you're fed up with that.

The way I know you are in the way I'm fed up with the in the American taxpayers they should be outraged you can do it just -- the polls like enough is enough.

This is a president should be going on TV and say hey my bad my bad.

Bad idea didn't work -- waste your money you know what I'm gonna go back into the classroom again this has been the most expensive sabbatical this nation has ever seen.

It's just -- ludicrous what we're doing well watching congress and thank you very very marked by telling them constantly thinks he'll take our.
