Again. Undermining US Industries. This time with an excise tax.

> “It would impose a steep penalty on all new wind and solar farms […] unless they follow […] requirements to disentangle their supply chains from China.”

Even the president couldn’t market his presidential campaign without the help of Chinese made products/tchotchkes.

I think this will push research investment into decentralized power.

It's frustrating to see big government Republicans continuously being fiscally irresponsible and meddling in the free market.

First time?

This has been the Republican playbook for my entire adult life (the 21st century). With Trump they no longer have to pretend.

This really is the dumbest bill of all time. Increases the national debt while decreasing government services to reliable Republican voters, to benefit the least popular people in America. It is shockingly unpopular, and the more voters learn about it, the more they dislike it. The lack of opposition by the GOP is going to sink them in the midterms.

The more the lawmakers who passed it learn about it, the more they dislike it! SMH
