The EV tax credit needs to go away immediately. It does more harm towards accelerating the adoption of EVs, and is a regressive subsidy that benefits the wealthy at the expense of all taxpayers.

Subsidizing stuff when inflation and deficit spending is through the roof during a time when supply is constrained is layers upon layers of idiocy, recognizable to anyone that has an elementary grasp of economics. It's just free money handouts to large auto manufacturers, most of which are foreign owned. I'd have to think long and hard to come up with something dumber.
