The Great EV Grift: $7.5 Billion for 384 Charging Ports That Nobody Uses - American Thinker
2025-08-01
[AMERICANTHINKER] Once upon a time in America, taxpayers were scandalized to learn the Pentagon paid $400 for a toilet seat. It was front-page news. Congressional hearings were convened. Outrage flowed like prune juice at the Biden White House breakfast buffet.

Fast forward to 2025, and no one bats an eye over spending more than that for just a toilet.

In fact, the federal government under the Biden administration set aside a whopping $7.5 billion in cold, hard, debased American currency—and to date, we've got a grand total of 384 E.V. chargers to show for it.

And here's the twist: hardly anyone is shocked.

No wall-to-wall hearings.

No breathless expos s strung out on tenterhooks.

No Geraldo Rivera cracking open an empty safe at Fort Knox.

These are strange times. We used to get mad when they flushed money down the toilet for toilets.

And you thought a national debt north of $37 trillion was a fiscal problem. Silly you. It's not a money issue—it's a perspective disorder.
