Democrats’ all-electric USPS fleet sees each truck come with a $6.8 million price tag, yes, $6.8 Million EACH. **D.C. NIFO**

Excerpt:
"A Biden administration plan to create a ‘green’ fleet of postal vehicles has churned out a mere 250 electric mail trucks in just over two years — after shelling out taxpayer funds meant to build thousands…
The nearly $10 billion project — which called for more than 35,000 battery-powered US Postal Service (USPS) vehicles to be completed by September 2028 — was funded in part by $3 billion in funding from former President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
(I suspect the Post item has a typo, because as you see above, the number from the USPS is 45,000, not 35,000.)
So far, the disbursed IRA funds are around $1.7 billion, which means that if Congress is able to claw back the $1.3 billion still allocated for the project, each of these 250 trucks have cost U.S. taxpayers a minimum of $6.8 million a piece—
...
The biggest issue with the program? The lucky contractor doesn’t even know what they’re doing:
‘This is the bottom line: We don’t know how to make a damn truck,’ one person involved with the manufacturing process told the Washington Post."
=================================
Your tax dollars at work ... making your enemies in D.C. wealthier while you eat dog food.
