WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement after voting against Senate Democrats’ $3.5 trillion tax and spending spree:
“Democrats forced a reckless tax and spend plan through the U.S. Senate. This so-called ‘budget’ is really just a liberal laundry list full of higher taxes and an even higher national debt. This is the last thing hard working Americans need right now with the rising rate of inflation.”
During consideration of the budget on the Senate floor, Senator Fischer offered an amendment that would prevent Americans who make over $100,000 a year or who are buying an electric vehicle that costs more than $40,000 from claiming the electric vehicle tax credit.
While enough Democrats at least agreed to prevent those with six-figure incomes from getting tax credits for luxury vehicles, many Republicans question whether the federal government should be subsidizing this industry in the first place.
