You\u2019re saying rent an apartment? Even if you are a homeowner, you\u2019re saying you can barely afford groceries, let alone home upgrades?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Biden doesn\u2019t really care about those concerns. He signed the Inflation Reduction Act and one of the key ways you can save \u2014 according to the Democrats \u2014 is to take advantage of lucrative tax incentives that require you to spend big chunks of money in the name of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After bragging about a few different tax rebates offered, Biden told Americans, \u201cIf you\u2019re living in a home with drafty windows and doors, starting January 1, you\u2019ll be able to save up to $1,100 on the cost of replacing them. And that\u2019s just on the upgrade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president, the son of a <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/news\/joseph-sr-joe-biden-father\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">used car salesman<\/a>, went on to sound exactly like a used car salesman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s not all,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/11\/18\/remarks-by-president-biden-in-a-meeting-with-business-and-labors-leaders-on-the-economy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continued<\/a>. \u201cIf you want to install solar panels on your roof, you can get a tax credit for 30 percent of the cost. It\u2019ll bring down the cost of installation by about $7,500.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How exactly will that help you in the long run?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when you get to keep saving money on your electric bills for the remainder of the year, it\u2019s about $300 a year on average,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire has documented, Biden isn\u2019t the only one in his administration constantly bragging about this great economic relief. His energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is big on this stuff, too.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve done it before, but let\u2019s again <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hey-neat-spend-1000-on-green-energy-and-the-feds-will-give-you-a-300-tax-credit-to-reduce-inflation-thanks-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimate<\/a> the costs of a few of the Biden administration\u2019s suggested home \u201cimprovements\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><em>The average energy-efficient window pane costs anywhere from $325 to $1,110,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/modernize.com\/windows\/energy-efficient\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a>\u00a0to Modernize, a home services website. That price range is per window \u2014 not for the entire home. Using those figures, on the lowest end of the spectrum, if you had four windows in your home, you\u2019d need to spend at least $1,300 before any labor or delivery costs are even calculated into it. If you did that, you would get a $390 tax credit.<\/em><\/p>\n[\u2026]\n<p><em>Looking at Granholm\u2019s home state of Michigan, the average solar-panel system costs roughly $16,020 \u2014 pre-federal incentives \u2014\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumeraffairs.com\/solar-energy\/how-much-do-solar-panels-cost.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a>\u00a0to Consumer Affairs. Again, with a 30% tax credit, you\u2019d receive $4,806.00 back if you spent that kind of moolah.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So, if you\u2019re somebody who lives in a four-window home and wants to purchase a basic solar-panel system and buy some efficient windows \u2013 you\u2019ll need to spend $17,320 to \u201csave\u201d $5,196.00. Of course, four-window homes are hard to come by, and if they do exist, it is doubtful that their occupants can afford to spend that kind of money.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, it is all nonsense. Spend thousands to save hundreds. But, first, you need to buy a home.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-five percent of Americans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubyhome.com\/blog\/renting-stats\/#:~:text=1%2C999%20square%20feet.-,How%20Many%20People%20Rent%3F,the%20U.S.%20population%20in%202021.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rent<\/a>, many are bleeding through their savings and living <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/millions-of-working-americans-are-living-paycheck-to-paycheck-and-running-out-of-cash-as-another-recession-looms-11666838538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paycheck-to-paycheck<\/a>, and inflation is still sky-high.<\/p>\n<p>But hey, Biden says \u201cthere\u2019s a strong sense from all the leaders of the world of the strength of the American economy\u201d \u2014 so we\u2019ve got that going for us, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pBWcRqPesws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which is nice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/you-have-to-be-a-wealthy-partially-deaf-green-energy-fanatic-to-save-money-in-bidens-america?utm_source=facebook&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=dwbrand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You Have To Be A Wealthy, Partially-Deaf, Green Energy Fanatic To Save Money In Biden\u2019s\u00a0America<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden says if you are cold and looking for some economic relief, then you just need to spend thousands on retrofitting your home with energy-efficient windows.
