Biden’s Assault On Freedom

Our focus is on issues impacting faith, family and freedom, and this item falls clearly in the freedom category. 

The authoritarian Biden Administration just imposed sweeping new environmental regulations on the auto industry. But this is much bigger than the debate over global warming or clean air standards. 

There is absolutely no doubt that these new EPA demands are impossible to meet without car companies making gasoline-powered vehicles too expensive for most Americans to buy. And that’s the whole point. 

Once again, the left is using the brute force of Big Government to control you and how you live by limiting your freedom. 

They are trying to force Americans into electric cars, which cost nearly three times more and have about half the range of the typical gas-powered car. But the only way they can do that is to make combustion engines even more expensive, thus, the new regulations.

Yet, even with all the radical green policies and tax subsidies, just 7% of vehicles on U.S. roads today are electric. Biden wants that figure to be 67% in the next nine years. So, his default position is to take away your freedom to buy the vehicle you want. 

But I think there’s a more sinister reason behind all of this than just “saving the planet,” which they really aren’t.

The neo-Marxist left wants to restrict your freedom of movement. And it is willing to take the American auto fleet that relies on the American energy industry and turn it into an electric fleet that relies on communist China. 

Because without communist China, which controls the necessary minerals for electric batteries, there’s no electric vehicle industry. Just another example of Biden putting America last.

There are serious questions about whether our electric grid can handle such a massive increase in demand. The American people do not have faith in these vehicles, partly because it can cost between $10,000 and $25,000 just to replace the electric batteries.

This won’t impact urban populations where folks don’t drive very far, and have access to public transit. But it will be a serious burden on rural and Middle America, for farmers, for truckers and people who have significant commutes to work every day. 

I don’t see how such sweeping and far-reaching regulations can be constitutional. In the past, courts generally deferred to the administrative state. But this new Supreme Court majority is scaling back the bureaucracy’s undelegated authority. 

Joe Biden and his neo-Marxist allies want to “fundamentally transform” the Supreme Court, too. If Biden is reelected, the odds are overwhelming that he will succeed.

First, the left came for your gas stoves and incandescent lightbulbs. Now it’s coming for your gasoline-powered cars and trucks.
