THE Biden administration is 'all for the welfare class and the superrich' as it makes war on trucks and trucking, wisconsin Republican Congressman Glenn Grothman recently told the House, reported Legislative News Service.
Mr Grothman urged Congress to act to prevent President Biden's latest war on the truck driver, the 'backbone of the American middle class'. 'We are used to hearing about the massive increase in costs of cars and light trucks as we are forced into electric vehicles,' he said.
'Talking to my dealers, the cost of a car is probably going to go up about 25 per cent. We are used to also hearing about the massive increase in car insurance that we are going to have as we go to electric vehicles.
'We don't hear about the huge hammer coming down on the backbone on the American middle class, the American truck driver. I found out today that the cost of a new semi going from diesel to electric vehicle will go from US$130,000 to over $300,000,' he said.
'As far as the amount that you are able to drive before refueling: from 1,200 miles back down to only 325 miles,' Mr Grothman said.
