00:00One minute to revise and extend my remarks. Without objection the gentleman from Wisconsin
00:04is recognized for one minute. I'd like to talk about the latest front in the Biden administration
00:09war on the middle class. They're all for the welfare class, they're all for the super rich,
00:13but middle class. We're used to hearing about the massive increase in costs of cars and light
00:19trucks as we're forced into electric vehicles. At least as I understand it talking to my dealers,
00:25cost of a car is probably going to go up about 25%. We're used to also hearing about the massive
00:30increase in car insurance that we're going to have as we go to electric vehicles. But we don't hear
00:36about the huge hammer coming down on the backbone of the American middle class, the American truck
00:42driver. I have found out today that the cost of a new semi going from diesel to electric vehicle
00:49will go from $130,000 to over $300,000 a semi. And as far as the amount that you're able to drive
00:57before refueling, from 325 miles to 1,000, from 1,200 miles back down to only 325 miles. Please
01:07Congress, act. Prevent President Biden's latest war on the truck driver, the backbone of the
01:15American middle class. Thank you.
