Why? Well, you see
DOGE lawmakers look to defund Biden’s anemic-paced $3B EV postal truck ‘boondoggle’
Two top DOGE lawmakers are introducing a bill to claw back $3 billion authorized under former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which was designated to create an electric vehicle (EV) fleet for the United States Postal Service (USPS).
A South Carolina defense contractor responsible for the 60,000-vehicle order was already “far behind schedule” as of November. A Washington Post exposé revealed that by then, fewer than 100 of these vehicles had been delivered to USPS.
Citing that, Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, DOGE Caucus chair, and Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, will be forwarding the “Return to Sender Act,” seeking to recoup what is about 30% of the overall appropriation in Biden’s law that was intended to be geared toward reducing inflation.
The Postal Service was to receive an initial order of 50,000 EV delivery trucks from defense contractor Oshkosh within the next three years, but only 93 had been produced by November, according to the Post.
“The order needs to be canceled with the unspent money returned to sender, the taxpayers. I am defunding this billion-dollar boondoggle to stamp out waste in Washington. Tax dollars should always be treated with first-class priority.”
93. They do not know what they are doing. In fairness, a lot of delivery folks for the USPS like the limited number they have received. But, there’s no way they can get serious numbers any reasonable time frame
“Three years later, taxpayers are still waiting while the Postal Service refuses to provide basic transparency on where the money went. The Return to Sender Act takes back the $3 billion in taxpayer money that has been wasted in this project,” Cloud said.
If they won’t be transparent, then the head honchos need to be dragged in front of Congress and cited with contempt if they won’t answer. Further, the bill is meant to end all unobligated money from the BS Inflation Reduction Act.
If they won’t be transparent, then the head honchos need to be dragged in front of Congress and cited with contempt if they won’t answer.
Elon and the DOGE boyz first!
Rimjob be stupid.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
Elon Rules!!!
MAGA Motherfuckers!
Makes sense. The US Government should cancel non-performing contracts or even contracts where they just changed their minds and decide to not print money to pay for unnecessary purchases.
Geez Rimjob, now we’ll never know why you’re such a sorry fat bitch.

Connies are such stupid liars!
MAGAts seem unable to translate those mysterious markings on pages!! Their stupidity hurts Louisisana.
Jeff,
I hate to tell you, but you are the stupid. Women have known for some time about mensuration. We also have abundant cotton, check your history.
But Southern? I am not sure of their current status, but their diploma is worthless. Their research is a joke, much like yours. Likely this was a voter pay off.
Let it go, david.
Rimjob’s on a roll like that Jasmine chick. They be smart.
Bwaha! Lolgf Loser!
porter,
Southern U is one of the historically black colleges and university (HBCU) which likely explains your foul attitude. You’ve made you’re opinion on those “lazy and stupid negroes” well-known. Anyway, we’re certain you didn’t read any part of the grant application but it talked about patenting their findings of alternative fibers for FHPs.
You begrudge Southern U a small federal grant, but we bet you celebrate the near half a billion in tax dollars to LSU, a few miles south. But can you believe LSU’s student population is nearly 20% blacks??? trump and your anti-diversity warriors will change that!!
What research of yours are you most proud of?
Jeff,
Southern is a black university as the black population or leadership persist with requiring a segregated educational system. We have two higher education school boards as the blacks stop all efforts to unify. So, you are supporting segregation. With my black friends, I have consistently told them not to go to the traditionally black colleges. The degrees are worthless and often not accepted in higher education. I have steered blacks to LSU and many now work in much better circumstance such as NASA. Jeff, it is apparent that you are a racist and you hate everything. Nothing but a big fat slob swilling whiskey daily and criticizing those trying to make the world a better place. But keep it up, you are actually funny in your ignorance.
Rimjob is the only one around here who uses the term “lazy and stupid negroes”.
Such a putz.
Pups,
He asked me why people are poor. I quoted from the same question asked of a Roman at the time of the empire. And still approximate for today. In Jeff’s confused mind he took this to mean all blacks as in his mind they are the only poor.

No, the manufacturer really doesn’t. Oshkosh, the contracted manufacturer builds large trucks, and is the premier supplier of diesel-powered front discharge concrete mixers. They had exactly zero experience with vehicles of the size and type of USPS residential delivery vehicles, and, if I remember correctly, zero experience with plug-in electrics either. Yes, they submitted the low bid, but it was an irresponsible bid, because Oshkosh just didn’t know how to do the job.

Let’s see now, Rivian is already building EV delivery vans for Amazon and is currently releasing a customer version. $3B should buy quite a few.
