How much you may save with tax credits, discounts

WASHINGTON -- The Inflation Reduction Act, a $739 billion measure signed into law by President Joe Biden on Tuesday, levies a 15% minimum tax on large corporations and marks the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history. Meanwhile, the law will reduce the federal deficit by $305 billion over roughly the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. (Snip) Americans can determine the financial benefits available to them under the law with help from a savings calculator created by Rewiring America, a nonprofit that aims to achieve energy efficiency through the electrification of "everything in our communities."

Comments:

They MSM sleazeballs don't even try to hide their bias anymore. Nary a word here about what this monstrosity will cost the average American.

Somebody needs to do some elementary math. Our national debt--not the deficit--is about $30,000,000,000,000.00. THIRTY TRILLION DOLLARS. A projected reduction OVER TEN YEARS of $305,000,000.00 is about a .01% reduction. Get that? It is about as close to ZER0 PERCENT as you can get and thus is mathematically insignificant. Meanwhile, does anyone think that the government will not ADD to the deficit each and every year? Puhleeze!

It will take us nearly 3 years to 'save' the value of the weapons joey gave to the Taliban. It will be hilarious when the sand-fleas stiff him for his 30%. Yeah, his rates went up when he usurped the Presidency.

The "calculator" is a product of a green energy ngo which makes it biased and unreliable.

Do these people know that under Trump prescription drug prices were low? Insulin was virtually free? Biden came in an undid all of that. Now he redoes what Trump had done and claims it as his own. This "Rewiring America" is another joke. Have any of these people ever driven across the country? Our cabin in northern Wisconsin didn't have electricity of any kind until 1945. We got our first landline phone in 1977. We've never had cable, everything is still satellite, being three miles from the nearest neighbor and nine from the nearest town doesn't bode well for getting any "rewiring" any time soon. There are similar places all over the country. These people are delusional. What is wrong with our Representatives that they would pass something like this? Is it really all about the money and cocktail party invitations? It is of course. There seems to be a good crop among the primary winners. We MUST get as many elected as possible this November and shut this garbage down.

First thing we learned in high school economics: Businesses and don't pay taxes, customers do. It is so simple it screams to be taught, yet our schools teach Communism.

"Rewire America" economics...you've got to spend a lot to save a little. And how any of this relates to reducing inflation...I don't see it. #1 has it exactly right.

I ran the calculator. Nada for me. Well, unless I spend tens of thousands of dollars on new, poorly tested new technology, I might get back $13,000 in ten years . But I could be taking a dirt nap at room (or underground) temperature.

So stupid. Go spend $100,000 to get new windows, doors, and insulation in your house and we'll give you a $1200 tax credit; hope you itemize and keep all the receipts since they're about to assign every family their own auditor.

It would be interesting to find out how they estimated inflation, the present value of future benefits, and lost opportunity costs. I guarantee that the typical buyer would make a greater return remodeling the kitchen and baths than putting similar money into solar panels.

The article at the All Biden Channel (used to be the All Barack Channel) conveniently failed to mention the Extra Cost you will be Paying for Electricity, Food, Gasoline and other items to which this 'Bill' adds taxes. The 'Inflation Reduction' is only in the title. The 'Rats used that so that they could claim it is a 'financial reconciliation' bill, enabling them to abuse the legislative process and Jam it through the Senate on a 50+1 vote 'Simple Majority' and bypass the Senate Filibuster rules.

While preparing recently for my radio show on Newstalk 820 WBAP, I happened upon a seemingly innocuous news item. “J.P. Elder Middle School’s winning ways raise football expectations at North Side,” the Star-Telegram headline read. I love football. I’ll admit an initial wave of pride washing over me at the team’s accomplishment. It turns out that J.P. Elder had a perfect season, no losses. As a self-described “liberty-loving Latino,” I couldn’t help but smile in recognition of the fact that Hispanics dominate the school. That smile quickly faded when I learned about the shameful conduct being undertaken at that same Fort Worth ISD school

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said in an interview with The Hill TV that the “majority” of Republican voters are “stupid” and “evil.” Discussing the brand of the Democratic Party, Carville said, “So much of what has happened to my party is we tend to get defined by some over-educated, totally doofus coastal elites that are out trying to write dictionaries or something unrelated to anybody’s life. And that kind of stuff has a tendency to be very sticky, to stick with people. It is not who the party is. They are a very small part of the Democratic Party.” He continued, “These people have the ability to irritate.

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that he believed pastors in America are failing their congregations because many Christians are equating former President Donald Trump to Jesus. Kinzinger said, “I’ve come to believe over the last year that people, more than even fearing death, we’re such a tribalistic people that they fear being kicked out of their tribe. So, you accept anything because now Republicanism, conservatism, Trumpism becomes your identity, and so, you’re going to stay.” He continued, “I’m going to say this as a Christian myself, the pastors, many pastors in this country are failing their congregations.

It’s abundantly clear that former Vice President Mike Pence is going to run for president in 2024. He’s been putting in the leg work lately, with a scheduled trip to New Hampshire coming up. He’s also positioned himself as a Trump foil in the mid-term GOP primaries, taking a contrary position to the former president in several states, most recently in Arizona. For my part, I think Pence’s pursuit is delusional. There is exactly one person in the GOP who would be palatable to Trump voters if Trump himself weren’t the nominee, and his name is Ron DeSantis.

Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Wednesday delivered a sweeping rebuke of her agency’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying it had failed to respond quickly enough and needed to be overhauled. “To be frank, we are responsible for some pretty dramatic, pretty public mistakes, from testing to data to communications,” she said in a video distributed to the agency’s roughly 11,000 employees. Dr. Walensky said the C.D.C.’s future depended on whether it could absorb the lessons of the last few years,

Elon Musk has warned Republicans to 'stay out of people's bedrooms' and be more supportive of migrants if they want to be electorally successful. The 51-year-old billionaire was speaking on Tuesday night at a gathering of Republican donors, hosted by John Nau - chairman and CEO of Silver Eagle Beverages, one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributors in the nation. Musk was invited by Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader, whose constituency encompasses the Bakersfield, California location of SpaceX.

Since the outset of the global monkeypox outbreak in May, public health and infectious disease experts have told the public that the virus is largely transmitting through skin-to-skin contact, in particular during sex between men. Now, however, an expanding cadre of experts has come to believe that sex between men itself — both anal as well as oral intercourse — is likely the main driver of global monkeypox transmission. The skin contact that comes with sex, these experts say, is probably much less of a risk factor.
