2026 Federal Budget Still Funding Electric Buses for California – RedState
Haven’t we had enough of these “green” boondogles?
This nitwitter has not yet left, and that’s a problem. “Greens” energy boondogles are like socialism; They fail each time they are tried. In the case of electric buses and so on, it is not only the laws of the economy that annoy, but also the laws of physics. The electric generation by solar panels and the windmills is not compatible with the increase in demand by a large switch to buses and electric trains. But that apparently did not prevent democratic politicians, mainly from California, from asking for great subsidies from this nonsense of the Congress – and they may well obtain them.
Nearly $ 16 million in taxpayers are reserved for zero emission buses and charging stations across the country in one of the annual annual governmental financing bills of the congress.
The house offered Law on transport, housing and housing credits and related agencies For the financial year 2026 is only one of the 12 annual invoices for credits providing money to federal agencies.
With a total price of $ 89.9 billion, the proposed legislation includes More than a dozen total routes totaling at least $ 15.8 billion For electric buses, hydrogen buses and electric bus load stations or battery systems on only four states. The number is probably higher, due to the ambiguity of budget requests linked to the transport of legislators.
For what? Why does the House of Representatives controlled by the Republican allow this horse to continue to be in shoes in the budget? Oh, I understand that politics is the art of the possible, and sometimes it is necessary to make concessions to conclude an agreement. But look who offers these boondogles:
California would receive the share of the money lion, requested for several projects by American democratic representatives Pete Aguilar, Judy Chu, Linda Sanchez, Mark Desaulnier, Jimmy Gomez, Sydney Kamlager-Dove, Ted Place, Maxine Waters, Nanette Barragean and Amy Bera.
And it’s not just California:
Ohio, Massachusetts and Washington would also receive funds. In Ohio, the region of the region of Toledo Regional Transit Authority would receive $ 2.45 million to switch to zero bus emissions, as well as the construction of a new garage.
The steamship authority shuttle in Massachusetts would receive $ 2 million To replace its gas buses with electricWhile community transit in Washington would get $ 2 million To buy electric battery buses.
Enough, it’s already too much. It is a waste of calamitous money. If these states, cities and authorities wish to engage in these heaps of useless corral waste, let them collect funds or go to their governments of state and city with their hands. The federal government should have nothing to do with it. The Constitution does not allow it, and frankly, we, the taxpayers, should be indignant in a fair manner.

Admittedly, $ 16 million is not very important, some may say, when the monstrous amount that our federal government spends. But there is, or there should be a question of principle involved. Waste is waste and waste taxpayer money is something that is not in essence; It is a violation of confidence between elected officials and the people they represent. It doesn’t matter whether it is $ 16 million or 16 cents; There is no way that these expenses can or should be justified.
If I had the ear of President Trump – unfortunately, I do not do it – I urge him to use the unit to agitate against this waste, and if necessary, to oppose his budgetary invoice with green subsidies. Enough it is enough. We doesn’t Vote for that.
