Sales of electric vehicles have plummeted since the end of September, when federal tax credits worth up to $7,500 ended. The Trump administration has cut subsidies and loans for clean energy projects, while seeking to eliminate regulations that encouraged automakers to sell low-emission vehicles.

Johnson asserted an assumption, that people will volunteer and expand people engaged in their communities. It reflects his lack of understanding of #MicroEconomics.

The bill was written so that people had the option to earn the equivalent of the Federal Minimum Wage ($7.25/hr) x 80 hours a month, or $580 a month. IOW, you don't need to volunteer or work 80 hrs a month.

Would you rather volunteer for 80 hours for $0 or work parttime for just enough to earn $580 to keep your #Medicaid?
