We have now reached the third day of Donald Trump and the 47th Presidency and the effects are immediately noticeable, but hopefully also in the long term. One possibility for every president to have an effect from the start is the decree of implementation regulations, a popular method to avoid congress. I have some thoughts that I will share in a later contribution about the advantages and disadvantages of it.
However, on Monday, Donald Trump deleted the financing of the Green New Deal, which was part of the garbage laws that Joe Biden about the Inflation Reduction Act from 2022 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Federal government and should never have seen the lightweight of day.
Since I live in the state of Michigan, the place of birth and home of the three major classic automobile manufacturers who have been moving the world for more than a century by building vehicles with combustion engines, this topic makes me think about how it is concerned Detroit.
I read a little about it, right HERE.
Dozens of millions of dollars, Detroit, Grand Rapids and the Ministry of Transport, were promised by Michigan for charging programs for electric vehicles, are among the federal grants that have been in danger since President Donald Trump has instructed the authorities, payments from two laws that have been during the term Previous were “exposed to immediately”. .
Trump issued on Monday A implementing regulation Among other things, the “termination of the Green New Deal” was requested by suspending the payment of the funds, which was financed by the inflation reduction act of 2022, which financed climate, tidy energy and other projects, as well as by the infrastructure investment and jobs Act, which placed $ 1.2 trillion in the transport area, were provided and infrastructure expenditure.
The environmental initiatives financed by these laws are diverse. This includes a program for the expansion of solar energy for private households into low -income communities, a program for the preservation of arable land, discounts for the purchase of energy -efficient devices, the expansion of the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and much more.
As I mentioned above, I live in the state of Michigan, which for many is considered the birthplace of the American auto industry. Trump’s arrangement makes me think about the effects of this on Detroit and the United Auto Workers union, the main goal of which (supposedly) is to ensure the safety and good payment of the car workers.
Last year I wrote this article with the title “VP Harris comes to Michigan for a campaign stop with a UAW package for destruction of jobs”, which revealed that “Green New Deals” were bad for the UAW and their members .
This dramatic change will probably bring high costs for jobs in the automotive industry, and the transition to electric vehicles is the focus of the symptoms of the automotive workers. Accordingly an estimatethe transition to electric vehicle production will cost 117,000 jobs in the automotive industry.
You may think I invent that, but I’m not.
“The workplaces of the workers who make engines and gears today will be eliminated when we switch to electric vehicles,” said UAW research director Jennifer Kelly at the beginning of the year. And Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford, said last year that he assumed that the production of electric vehicles would require 40 percent less workload than in conventional automobiles.
Hopefully you have a slightly better idea of why I am interested in this overall topic and why I think the Green New Deal is unproductive and not so great for the state of Michigan. We have a place for renewable energies, but in general the government spends money because some lobbyists have managed to convince some employees in the congress that this is the right way.
Therefore, it is right at the moment that Donald Trump sends this program to a break, but the congress has to deal with it and change the general direction in which attempts are made to influence the economy instead of this and many other problems to the free market to leave.
In addition, the GOP’s Trump advance in the state of Michigan gives a fairly vast hammer that she can employ while continuing her reconstruction and tries to position itself a little more relevant, something that I mentioned yesterday about a great democrat that his candidacy The governor is announced here to replace Whitmer in 2026. The democrat Jocelyn Benson announces her candidacy for Michigan’s governor, and so far she is the favorite for victory
I thought about that in my post …
I have great hopes.
However, the history of Michigans in terms of victory over the Democrats was not exactly amiable and will probably repeat themselves here.
Hopefully the Trump Presidency 2.0 will be the necessary impetus to give the leadership of the Michigan Grand Old Party consistency and, which is even more crucial, relevance.
I mentioned in the article above that Jocelyn Benson is an enormously delicate candidate, but in the blue state of Michigan she has pretty good chances of success. This is not due to her miserable professional record or because she is a great seller that she is not; It is based on the fact that the Great Lake State is a blue state by default, unless there is any reason to do so.
Donald Trump brought arguments here twice when he won the state.
With his abolition of the Green New Deal, he gave an instrument that the Republicans can hopefully employ in Michigan to build the party more in the future.
