The strings on the EV credit ate being adjusted such that the batteries must be sourced in America.

Because it's a Biden plan the conservative media is scathing about it despite that restriction not going into effect until 2024 (enough time to adjust how battery materials are sourced).

But if this was a Trump proposal they would be fellating him for putting American jobs first.

Of course a Trump "electric vehicle" credit would either be nom existent or somehow still favor oil companies...

So crazy that I'm seeing it come up so much as a big deal when it should clearly align with their normal US Jobs talking points.

Definitely true, though I think that this type of protectionism is objectively pretty bad and I wish it wasnt in the bill. Still a good bill overall, though.
