Ah, Kamala Harris. What would we do without her frequent words of wisdom? Today’s word is “school bus.”
Harris was doing an event where she was asked about the Inflation Reduction Act. She was asked one heck of a softball question with a lot of sucking up thrown in, “What are some of parts of the Inflation Reduction Act — this amazing new law that you are most excited about?”
Now, it’s the Inflation Reduction Act. So she’s going to point to all the things it’s going to do to help reduce inflation and help the American people, right? Not so much.
“I mean so much, so much,” Kamala said as she stalled for time to think. Then she looked down and checked her notes, then declared this wonder of wonders, “I have a particular fondness, I must tell you, for electric school buses. I love electric school buses!”
She’s so excited about it, she has to read from her notes. Come on, man. But what do electric school buses have to do with reducing inflation? Answer: nothing, because the Inflation Reduction Act isn’t about reducing inflation. It’s a fake name for a warmed-over Green New Deal-lite, and the spending on it is likely to increase inflation not reduce it.
It also doesn’t sound like the bus drivers are as in love with it as much as Kamala. Of course, they’re not wedded to a silly political agenda, they care about practicality and what works.
