Biden’s Energy Secretary SLAMMED After Ridiculous Suggestion to Poor People
One of the hallmarks of the Biden regime is that they are just so tone deaf and have no real understanding of how average Americans who aren’t millionaires live.
What’s worse is that they don’t even realize that what they’re saying is utterly absurd.
Take for instance Biden’s own energy secretary Jennifer Granholm. She suggested one of the dumbest things to help Americans lower their electric bills.
“If you are low income, you can get your home entirely weatherized through the expansion from the bipartisan infrastructure laws, a significant expansion — you don’t have to pay for anything,” she said, adding, “If you want heat pumps, insulation, new windows, that is covered,” she said. “If you are moderate income, today you can get 30% off the price of solar panels. Those solar panels can be financed, so you don’t have to have the big outlay at the front … If you don’t qualify for the weatherization program, you will be able to, starting next year, get rebates on the appliances and equipment that will help you reduce your monthly energy bill by up to 30%. That is all about reducing costs for people.”
If you’re poor, go spend $10,000 on solar panels! That’s the solution!
They are SO out of touch. Lower income individuals do not have thousands of dollars to spend on solar panels. Most of them are struggling for groceries, but they want them to spend 10 times that amount on some solar panels that will pay off in 5-10 years? C’mon man!
Twitter ripped into Granholm:
They don't know how they sound, because everything they read and everyone they know just echo their ideology back at them – except turned up in volume, higher in pitch, and with applause. https://t.co/kniDhNR4WB

100% out of touch with reality. Do you think the family depending on a 14-year-old Honda to get around can afford solar panels? Arrogant!

An underrated aspect of the Biden admin unpopularity is just how terribly his cabinet has performed at messaging – Becerra, Mayorkas, Granholm, Buttigieg, Garland, Yellen all drags. When your best performer is Tony Blinken you have a problem. https://t.co/i0Du46TXPQ

GOP just needs to run ad after ad of Granholm telling the poors to buy solar panels and electric cars to save money. https://t.co/oAdXKutrBi

Look, I make a decent amount of money, and I don’t even have an extra $10,000 that I could spend on solar panels for my home. These people need to be removed from their high places and the rest of Americans need to wake up and stop voting for these incompetent imbeciles.
