Can someone explain to me which part of any of this is supposed to reduce inflation?
Technically the large tax hikes might reduce inflation by crashing the economy. Can't have "too much" money when nobody has money.
Also $80 billion to double the number of tax audits because apparently the libs didn't learn how the American people hated the IRS with a burning passion. Lighting $80 billion on fire as a way to try to crack down on and harass the rich.
Imagine how fucking stupid the libs have to be, when this is the last bill they might be able to pass on a party line vote for potentially 10+ years, and what do they waste it on? Hundreds of billions of dollars in additional wind and solar subsidies AFTER wind and solar already dominate new power plant construction to the point where it is causing serious failure points in the grid thanks to a lack of base load plants (such as in Texas).
Fuck Joe Manchin for letting this shit through. Elections matter. Trump caused this bill to pass because he cost Republicans the Georgia special senate elections. Had the Republicans won just 1 of those seats, which they would have but for all the "stolen election" bs causing Rs to stay home, it would have saved our country from something like 7-8 TRILLION in additional wasteful spending these past 2 years.
At least this should be the last of it.
there are people that without a hint of irony think this and imagine themselves savvy political opinion havers. Worse, you get to vote
The problem was Trump complaining SPECIFICALLY about Georgia and including attacks on the Republican secretary of state, right in the middle of a critical special election that the Rs ended up NARROWLY losing because Trump's shit talk caused reduced voter turnout among the base.
People like you are exactly why the Democrats won. You say it was stolen, so that makes Rs not want to bother voting.
The real problem is that Trump just whined about the fraud instead of doing anything about it, such as heads on pikes.
The Dems were always going to narrowly win those two seats. You don't steal the white house and then not steal the senate.
WTF are you talking about. Trump had the highest voter turnout for any president in history. The Democrats just frauded harder.
