[Emphasis added]\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, Democrats are looking to go even further in terms of benefitting corporate outsourcers of U.S. jobs. Automakers with production in China are lobbying to gut provisions that prevent the tax credits from being used on electric vehicles made with Chinese batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2022\/08\/04\/ev-china\/\">wants<\/a> the legislation to subsidize corporations that source their electric vehicle batteries from China, Russia, and other foreign countries with strained U.S. relations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately after [the tax credits are] implemented \u2026 at this point, it looks like companies won\u2019t be able to use them,\u201d Stabenow said.<\/p>\n<p><em>John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News.
