'Lost in the Mail!': Joni Ernst Shreds Biden's $3 Billion USPS EV Boondoggle — Just 93 of 50,000 Vehicles Delivered
|
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] In yet another stunning example of government waste, the Biden administration's $3 billion scheme to convert the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) has delivered nothing but empty promises, skyrocketing costs, and a mere 93 vehicles out of the planned 50,000.
Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Representative Michael Cloud (R-Texas) are leading the charge against reckless taxpayer-funded disaster.
They introduced the Return to Sender Act, a bill aimed at clawing back the unspent billions that were funneled into the failed USPS EV initiative under Biden's so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
''Biden's $3 billion EV fleet for USPS is lost in the mail! Just 93 of 50,000 vehicles have been delivered. I am canceling the order and returning the unspent money to sender: the taxpayers!'' Ernst wrote on X.
The USPS originally placed its 50,000-vehicle order three years ago, but thanks to bureaucratic mismanagement and Biden's radical green agenda, barely 0.2% of those vehicles have made it to the streets. Meanwhile,
...back at the Senate, Odius Sepulcher called for war against the Visigoths...
the cost of production continues to balloon, and taxpayers are footing the bill for a non-existent fleet.
''The Biden administration's so-called Inflation Reduction Act funneled billions into a failed USPS EV project that has delivered nothing but delays, defective trucks, and skyrocketing costs,'' said Cloud.
''Three years later, taxpayers are still waiting while the Postal Service refuses to provide basic transparency on where the money went. The Return to Sender Act takes back the $3 billion in taxpayer money that has been wasted in this project.''
The Return to Sender Act aims to repeal and rescind any remaining, unobligated funds from the Inflation Reduction Act's USPS EV provisions. The bill cancels this colossal waste of taxpayer money before even more cash is flushed down the drain.
The legislation targets sections 70002 and 70003 of the IRA, ensuring that billions in misused climate funds are reallocated to the American people instead of being used to prop up another one of Biden's green boondoggles.
According to the blurb, ''Because of its ballooning cost and delays, the USPS EV project was featured as one of the worst government boondoggles when Ernst introduced her Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act that will require the disclosure of any government project that is $1 billion over budget or five years behind schedule.''
