The writer Thomas Friedman launched his article in a newspaper New York Times A violent attack on the draft law submitted by US President Donald Trump to reduce taxes, and was approved by Congress on Thursday by a small majority.
He considered that the bill, which is described as “large and beautiful”, is in the interest of China. He said that the Chinese will not believe their luck, after the American president and his Republican party decided to “dawn artificial intelligence”, to engage in one of the most terrible behavior of the strategic self -harm that can be imagined.
The draft law, which was submitted by the president Donald Trump To reduce taxes, the last obstacle to Congress has exceeded Thursday, after obtaining the approval of the Republican parliament by a slightly difference and referring it to Trump to ratify it to become a law. Two days before it, the Senate approved it with vote voter JD Vans.
The most prominent provisions of the draft law stipulate the extension of the huge tax exemptions that were approved during the first Trump state (2017-2021), providing billions of dollars in the defense sector and fighting immigration, abolishing the tax tax, and reducing the social security network programs.
Besides, Friedmann notes that the draft law quickly eliminates the tax exemptions that were dedicated to solar and wind energy at the level of major facilities. It also eliminates all tax exemptions for electrical cars, which would practically ensure that the future of solar energy, wind energy, cars and electric trucks, as well as self -driving vehicles.
However, the American writer believes that it is fortunate that Trump kept great tax credit from the era of his predecessor جهني For companies that develop other emissions -free technologies such as Nuclear reactors Electrical dams and ground thermal power plants and storing batteries, until 2036.
Friedman described the bill’s leave as intentionally undermining a capacity US On generating electricity from renewable energy sources, represented in solar energy, batteries and wind energy in particular, which Republicans are seen as “liberal” sources, although today, according to his saying – is the fastest and cheapest way to enhance the country’s electrical network to meet the increasing demand from artificial intelligence centers.
The writer, a Jewish liberal, affirmed Democratic Party– What the American administration wants from the large and beautiful law is exactly the opposite of what China is doing, which may celebrate from now on the fourth day of July of each year as its own national holiday.
He said that while countries – like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – doubled the use of solar energy to meet the needs of data centers artificial intelligence That you want to attract from the West, the United States does the exact opposite through the “Great and Beautiful” Trump Law.
He warned that the draft law – which was passed in a hurry without a single hearing in Congress with independent energy experts or even one scientist – will be exposed to billions of dollars in the field of renewable energy, most of them in the states with the majority of the Republic, and may eliminate the jobs of tens of thousands of American workers.
Friedman expressed his sympathy for the American billionaire Elon Musk In contrast to the president. He said that it is really sad for a mask to lose his credibility with many voters because of his caressing of Trump and because of the volatile discounts that his administration of government efficiency.
Mask described as one of the greatest innovators in the field of manufacturing in America, and he is one of the foundations of world leading companies in the electric car industry, renewable missiles and storage batteries. And satellites For communications.
He pointed out that Mask and many others saw that from “madness and ruin” that Trump and his sect are from Republican Party They rejected the energy policy that is based on the largest and fastest possible clean energy, which gradually gets rid of the “dirt” energy in order to switch to the “cleaner” energy, as it did China Often.
Friedman: There is nothing that can make China more great than the Trump bill, “The Great and Beautiful, which delivers the future of electricity in America to Beijing.”
Friedman also criticized the progressive of the Republican Party, who made Trump with their “crazy” delusions “act” with this stupidity “in the energy field.
He said that many of them acted as if it were possible to shift from an economy Fossil fuel To a clean and green economy, without expanding the cleaner fuel to fill this shift, such as natural gas and nuclear energy, without reducing the criteria for allowing more transport lines to convert clean energy from the desert center to the cities you need.
The writer expressed his belief that there are only two political parties in the world today, which will pass on to pass this law; They are the American Republican Party And the Chinese Communist Party.
He concluded his article that there is nothing that can make China more great again than the Trump law “The Great and the Beautiful, which delivers the future of electricity in America to Beijing.”
