The Senate has passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, a $740 billion climate change and healthcare spending bill that has been the result of months-long talks within the Democratic Party.
No Republican lawmakers signed onto the bill, though Democrats were able to pass it via a simple majority through the budget reconciliation process.
Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in the evenly divided chamber as Democrats erupted into applause at the end of their 16-hour session.

Dems are evil, and I think Mr. Manchin will be unemployed soon. He probably gets a huge bribe for this vote, and I assume is taking that as his retirement income.

Never mind that the reason inflation will ease is that the bill will cause a total collapse of our economy, and it's hard to measure inflation when the currency flatlines. Kind of like saying it will take a week after removal of his arm for him to stop bleeding, when the reason it will stop is because by then he'll have bled out completely...

Putting aside the harm this piece of garbage will inflict on the country, Republican voters should take note of how political winners behave.
In 2017 Donald Trump entered the White House with the House of Representatives and the Senate firmly under Republican control. Leave aside the deep state’s coup unleashed against him and how Trump’s refusal to capitulate resulted in major improvements to this country. What did we voters get with a Republican executive and legislature? Not much.
We got a tax cut, which the incompetent Republicans couldn’t sell to the voters. We got the Speaker of the House who flatly refused to craft legislation on the issues voters wanted as displayed by their vote for Donald Trump. We got condemnation of President Trump by lily livered Republican congressmen. We got a parade of Republicans resigning thereby ushering in the takeover of the House by the Democrats.
Contrast those two years of Republican cowardice and backstabbing with the success of the Democrats in the first two years of Biden. Despite a senile President, a small majority in the House and a tied Senate, the radicals, that are the Democrats, have gotten much of what they wanted. They have stuck together, they speak as one, they have rolled the inept Republican Senators many times.
To their credit the Democrats plough ahead knowing that they may lose control. I don’t expect a red wave. While there are a few outstanding Republicans in DC the leadership is, as usual, weak, incoherent and uninspiring. They won’t learn from Trump nor will they ever be as successful as the evil Democrats.

there seems to be some warped idea or impression that the money we have in our wallets, pockets and banks is our money, the passage of this bill is a message to us that we have no meaning, except to pay more and more taxes to supply this demcommie, communist agenda and with the advent of the enlarging of the IRS we had better keep our mouths shut and do what they tell us to do, otherwise, you know what will happen

The job numbers that the Democrats have been crowing about could well be seriously bogus, as they are counting each person being hired as being a new job. But in many cases that is not so because usually the job is one that existed before the pandemic and became vacant either because the worker who held the job no longer feels the need to work in that job, of left the job to seek other employment at a better wage. So in each instance where a worker moves from a job that is then taken by another worker, or a worker voluntarily moving from job to job does not mean that a new job was created, and actually in political terms resembles the deck chairs being moved around on the Titanic, an unstable labor circumstance that the DC politicians are making hay about.

I haven't voted for a dim since the mid 80s and he switched party.
Typical dim logic - tax businesses which will pasd most of the cost to the consumer resulting in higher prices all while inflation is already driving up costs.
When will the stupids learn the dims are screwing them?

That’s $2,000 per citizen or $8,000 for a family of four. For NO benefit to the country, only Dem donor green energy scam artists like Solyndra. Those 2021 Georgia Senate seat losses are tragically costly.

Thus do great civilizations fall. Those in the ruling class who control an economy they inherited from great leaders of the past, themselves have no idea how that economy actually works.

There has to come a time when economically we reach the point of no return and that day is bearing down on this country like a freight train. I am no economist but I can understand that you cannot spend your way out of a recession. Look for the democrats with the assistance of some Republican war mongers to get us into a serious shooting war. Listen to their rhetoric, they seem to be setting it up now. It is hard to believe that the political class is that sinister, but they are. Is their plan to try and recreate the economic boom we experienced after WWII. Surely, they could not be that foolish. Whatever is driving them has nothing to do with the good of this country and its people. It is evil, plain and simple as has every single policy decision made by this administration.

Joe Biden reminds me of one of Jesus' parables. It is the Parable of the Unforgiving Debtor. Joe Biden comes across as this angry, petulant, miserly person. No matter if he won the election fair and square or through cheating, he is President of the USA. He acts like one of the unhappiest people ever. I just saw on another website the US Bishops are censuring Joe Biden. Come on, he should be ex-communicated. The Catholic faith doesn't hesitate to do that to the lowly people. He and his family network gained a lot of money through his vice presidency. Yet, he treats the American people like lowly peasants.

Senate passes Biden's $740 Billion "Inflation Reduction Act" hahaha Inflation Reduction, my Aunt Suzie! These Senators who are up for election this year, should have ads run against them just for voting on this. These Senators should be voted out of office just for this...raising taxes in a recession!
And by the way, what is angering many of us, is sending billions of dollars to Ukraine to secure their borders, while we won't secure our borders for a dime! These Commies in D.C. are spending us into bankruptcy and they know it!!! And they want it! A Reset Plan of the World Economic Forum and the Liberal New World Order so says the WH spokesman.

#12 - Connect your dots...what might you see?
#29 - You can spend your way out of a recession. Our government does it continually to maintain that 2-3 percent inflation rate with a growing economy. The primary issue is inflation, not recession. You cannot spend or borrow your way out of inflation. That feeds the situation. And there is the conundrum. Politicians only know to spend, not cut or curtail. This "Inflation Reduction Act" is one of those Big Lies the boobs buy. It will undoubtedly prove itself a light thought to be the end of the tunnel...attached to a train coming down the tracks.

Help answering a question. Can the next administration reverse this decision? Could an all Republican administration cancel this approved financing of new IRS agents? I really don't know. If they can, I'd feel a whole lot better if they can. If not, I feel only terror.

It will be up to the next Congress to turn off the spigot and cancel most of this BeeEss. Quid Pro Joe the Fraud and his traitorous cabinet and rino/rat commie supporters are going to get a good dousing of cold hard reality come January of 2023. I just hope the voter fraud accounts are public knowledge soon so's we can rub that reality into the faces of Rats and Rino deep state deniers...

#33, The dots I connect from the failure of the last period of Republican government control (2017-2019) are Republican office holders, who have made promises they have no intention of honoring,
working to undermine a Republican president who is attempting to fulfill the promises made to the voters.
The voters wanted secure borders and less immigration. The voters wanted the industrial war machine curbed. These two issues, and there were others, were thwarted by Democrats, of course, but also by Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, leaders of the congressional Republicans.
Of course Donald Trump was the connection among the various dots of failure. He had to be since he is the only Republican president since Reagan who worked tirelessly to do what the people wanted.

A great legislative achievement if you’re living inside the Beltway bubble and consider adding taxpayer scalps to your belt as an important accomplishment. Every penny of these tax hikes will fall onto our shoulders. Corporations aren’t going to take a 15% reduction in profits. You are.
