Congressman Flood: Biden USDOT Promoting Greater Dependency on the CCP

WASHINGTON, D.C.- U.S. Congressman Flood has joined several of his colleagues on the Oversight and Reform Committee in calling out U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the Biden Administration’s misrepresentations of the impact of electric vehicles (EV) on the American job market.  

“Committee on Oversight and Reform Republicans are examining the false claims made by the Biden Administration about the impact of electric vehicles on American jobs,” wrote the lawmakers. “Ford Motor Co.’s recent announcement says it will cut up to 8,000 mostly American jobs to fund its EV investment is a stark contrast to the economic benefits promised by the Administration. Ford’s decision to reach an agreement with a Chinese company to supply batteries for its EVs indicates it is the Chinese—not Americans—who stand to benefit from the Biden Administration’s policy to shift to EVs.”

Sec. Buttigieg has repeatedly touted the purported benefits of the Biden Administration’s transportation and energy policy, but Ford’s latest move is proving the opposite. EVs are now causing the U.S. to lose even more jobs to China and other nations while the country grapples with increasing inflation and a slumping stock market.

Here is a full copy of the letter. Congressman Flood is a member of the Committee on House Oversight and Reform as well as the Committee on Small Business.
