its a joke Congress has any concept of how to reduce "anything"; if this passes, S & P & Moody's should immediately downgrade Fed debt to D- ; Ive yet to see any tax imposed on businesses NOT result in a corresponding increase in prices of the goods and services they produce--Dumb & Dumber is alive and well

We are literally turning into "Idoacracy" the movie at least an alien landing here would think so if they met with our "leaders".  But sadly 70% or better of the people are still sane, we just sit back and let the 15% of crazies and the other 15% of their "allies" take over because they are loud-mouthed bullies.  I am fed up with being fed "agendas" as reality, and told to shut up if I don't like it.  

I ain't shuttin' up.

Yes, they "tax" the corporations, but the taxpayers will pay.  And how is it that spending $396K on climate change is going to reduce inflation.

Yes it will raise inflation and worsen the recession.  As if that isn't the worst aspect it includes hiring 87,000 IRS agents.  What most Americans don't understand is that over 50% of all audits are on people who earn $75,000 a year or less.  Also consider that the IRS will have more civilian employees than the Pentagon, the Department of State, the FBI plus the Border Patrol combined.  You get audited, even if you think you did everything 100% correct, you will have to pay for an accountant.  This is what Democrats think is important.

Comrade Bernie Sanders himself from the floor of the Senate claimed that the bill would do little to nothing to reduce inflation.  He is half right....it won't reduce inflation but more govt spending using made up dollars will fuel inflation.....he conveniently left out that part.  Given the other job-killing aspects of this bill I have come to the conclusion that the Democrat strategy for reducing inflation is to deepen the recession.  It's like gas and diesel prices......they drive them up to double what they were when DJ was inaugurated and then boast when they drop a little.  Of course the drop is not due to increased supply.....OPEC said no and they are still killing domestic production.  It is dropping due to reduced demand as a result of inflation and the recession.

Old Washington strategy - create a problem, emphasize how big and difficult the problem is, and then take credit for solving it. Brag about all you've done to fix the problem.
