With inflation raging and the shadow of recession looming, it’s difficult to envision a worse time to pass a tax-and-spend bill like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Yet, that’s just what Senate Democrats did Sunday. It’s even harder to imagine that “moderate” Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), both of whom voted for the bill, believe it will live up to its Orwellian name. If so, they are at odds with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), hundreds of economists, millions of Americans, and even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Bernie Sanders voted for the bill, so why 2 paragraphs on him?

....and yet, the people still vote for these congressional parasites to deliver more entitlements and to keep them poor.

The Democrats and Lame Duck Joe own the growth of inflation and shrinkflation resulting from the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. No Joke. Everyone will be affected. Raising taxes while in an economic downturn is Hooveresque to say the least, and the time that Hoover did the exact same thing as the IRA the Great Depression of the 1930s occurred. Stock up on canned goods and any products that can be stored as we are in for a real donneybrook of economic disorder.

Just as Soros prosecutors are responsible for the murders committed by those they have refused to bring to justice, so too is Sanders for the harms of this bill. At the end of the day it matters what he voted for not objected to.

Bernie may not have liked it, but he sure as hell voted for it. I'm sure it wasn't the spending he didn't like; probably more like the energy stuff or something that might have had some positive affect, albeit fleeting. THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE WORST POSSIBLE HUMAN BEINGS. They'll start killing off the 'weak' before too long, you watch.

The democrat party is like the mafia, all are in it for personal gain. They don’t care about collateral damage, the American people. And yet, low information people vote for them. Our culture is degrading, badly.

A whole series of inequities are set for 51/50 passage between now and Election Day. Come November 4 there will be a lot of cleaning up to do.

Just cleaning out the coffers before being thrown out. Emptying the bank on the last raid before the posse is formed. Hiring more IRS to milk taxes from every nook and cranny from us old senior citizens sweeping up the dollars crushing us to the end. What's with the statement 'looming on the brink of recession'? We're in a recession unless you believe Joe Biden reading from his teleprompter.

Manchin and Sinema were never anything but liberals. Manchin loved the attention and the power it gave him over his Party. It’s all about re-election now. The DNC hols the purse strings and he thinks he has a better chance of BS’ng his constituents. Probably true.

Passing this bill was a criminal action against the American people and the entire Congress knows it. They will pay a price.

I would LOVE to see Manchin get the surprise of his Life and Lose that election. The working folks in WV have to be livid that he voted for that Bill. I think it's time for that RED State to primary him!

Manchin and Sinema are not ill informed about what this bill will do.
They know what it will do, but they were bought off.

I wonder if they buried a firearms tax in this bill? If you pay the tax you admit to gun ownership and if you fail to pay and they find out, they come and confiscate your guns. Maybe this is why they added 87,000 new agents and purchased millions of rounds of ammo?

Imbeciles in the highest offices of American government for filthy lucre, divers lust.
How much does it take to buy an imbecile politician and government employee, probably billions in total.

Honestly, is anyone shocked at this plain display of politics? Schumer met their prices, and it's done. Now we see how the spoils are divvied. Don't be surprised to find the energy (formerly oil and coal) companies played a big part. It's not whether inflation is tamed, spending is the order of the day...almost $800 billion. And that ain't hay.
