Kamala loves a school bus. There is no doubt about that. Let's take a moment for a flash back to Kamala riffing on her love of busses, particularly the electric kind.
Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) ~ Democrats have been hiding Kamala, but she just had a press conference and talked about yellow school buses, and my goodness - they really can’t let her talk in public about anything.

Yeah, Cackles reminiscing about her days on her short, yellow school bus ...
Now, we have some results of that program! Those are some very expensive buses!
Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) ~ REPORT: Kamala Harris Touted a $5B Electric School Bus Program. Three Years Later, It's Produced Just 60 Buses.
Back of the napkin math: That’s $83 MILLION per bus.

Kamala-ala-Bimbo don't care about $83 million buses ... it's GOOD to steal money from the commoners and redirect it to the Marxists who really count!
Logan Dobson (@LoganDobson) ~ It's important for folks to know that while her tenure fixing the border crisis is her most famous failure, it's far from her only one!
At this point, it's fair to ask what she is actually good at.
Class?
Bonnie Glick (@Bonnie_Glick) ~ And didn't one of the companies involved go bankrupt?
Yes, yes, they did.
The Doctor (@TennantRob) ~ $83.3M per bus sounds like a steal. I hear regular school buses cost around $100K.
Yeah, you could rightly assume that stealing was involved.
Stu Burguiere (@StuDoesAmerica) ~ For those keeping score at home:
School buses deployed: 60
Districts that have pulled out of program: 55
Close game.
Who wants to be the bus driver whose bus runs out of charge with a busload of kids in the middle of nowhere?
BC (@BurnerCurry) ~ At this point, I’m convinced every program promoted by Democrats is for money laundering purposes.
Bit Wonk (@bitwonk) ~ Because of limited operating hours, used only five days a week, and having summers off, school buses get far less use than city buses - thus, converting them to electric provides considerably less payoff for the expense.
Cyberpunk Sense (@napoleon21st) ~ Yet another massive theft like the electric chargers and the rural Internet. The Democrats simply steal the money every time. Trump needs to investigate and prosecute.
Ruth Peterson (@RuthAPeterson) ~ Government never spends your money efficiently. Electric school buses bring with them a whole host of surrounding needs that schools are not prepared for. Forcing them nationwide is a terrible idea, but it's a goal for the left.
If there is a way to waste money, Democrats will find it.
Steve R. (@steverosen1235) ~ I would like to see the Venn diagram of electric bus producers, Democrat donors, and subsidies paid, please.
Drill Baby Drill Shoebox (@Shoeboxnre) ~ Which is good because they've only been able to produce 3 charging stations for them to use.
dcnh (@dcnh42) ~ I guess it is better than Mayor Pete's EV charges. Why doesn't anyone notice that billions of dollars from Joe's Green New Deal are missing?
The dollars are not "missing," per se ... they just made their way into the pockets of Democrat donors.
Americans can't afford groceries, but we are wasting billions on electric school busses. Sounds about like Democrats are in charge.
