Any bipartisan plan that does not include user fees and electric vehicle infrastructure should be immediately rejected.
...hell no. Do not raise the gas tax to pay for infrastructure. Why screw over the poor even more?
You are the worst type of "democrat". Virtue signal with terms like "birthing people" and "we need a conversation" but then screw over the poor
Gas tax hikes are among the most effective way to dissuade people from buying more gas vehicles and funding electric infrastructure means we can get mass conversion to electric. This is one of our best chances to fight climate change, since I don't see a carbon tax or cap-and-trade happening anytime soon, sadly.
Working class people often don’t have the option to buy an electrical vehicle. I don’t think you realize this because you’re a rich kid from the suburbs.
I'd hope that electric vehicle infrastructure includes subsidies for low income people to buy electric vehicles, we can do this all day honestly, I'm not convinced you're interested in fighting climate change.
Think about what you're saying here. First off, you have to figure out who is "low-income" and how you would distribute this subsidy. Secondly, you have to make sure the subsidy is being used to buy electric vehicles. Thirdly, low-income people would still have to use some of their own money to buy this electric vehicle when they could just be using their gas-powered car. Making sure people meet both of these conditions is impractical and creates a lot of extra bureaucracy which in turn will hamper economic growth (which, according to Biden's budget plan, is already projected to be fairly anemic in 2023 and 2024 at lower than 2% growth).
I'm not interested in fighting climate change if this is the solution you come up with. Figure out something better
