Inflation Reduction Act: 8/12/22 - $740B Bill PASSES, Biden signs it into law!

I see you and your homeboy never have smoke for these centrist clowns for that drug cost shyt. Its always shytting on AOC or Bernie.

lie, brehs

I think the majority agrees they are horrible

additionally I think we pretty much acknowledge most of you guys won’t even admit if AOC, Bernie or any progressive has a shoe lace untied so we won’t be making any headway in the “keeping them honest” department any time soon

yet again the irony and hypocrisy of the subforum never fails to amaze

They've been hoping for this to fail since the beginning.

They've even changed the title say centrists are blocking the bill while actively demanding progressives in the house block it.

They're not honest brokers and they've been wrong on almost every major electoral take they've made over the past 5 years.

These mental gymnastics and lies don't even warrant a response

HL centrist have turned to straight republican tactics, which is not really surprising

Five Ways to Improve the FY 2022 Reconciliation Package

According to reports, the House intends to enact $3.5 trillion of spending increases and tax breaks and about $2.9 trillion of tax increases and health care savings to offset the cost, leaving a roughly $600 billion hole. Actual spending and tax breaks may end up being higher, and some offsets might not pass, and arbitrary expirations could further hide the cost. Previously, we estimated the intended spending and tax breaks could cost between $5.0 trillion and $5.5 trillion over a decade if made permanent – well short of the $2.9 trillion of intended offsets.

Policymakers will need to scale back some of their proposals, identify additional offsets, or do some combination of both to ensure the legislation is responsibly paid for.

Five options to achieve this goal are to:

1. Better target spending and tax cuts
2. Scale back new spending on seniors
3. Resize tax breaks
4. Boost health savings
5. Raise more revenue

CNN with framing right now.

Their chyron reads: "Progressive Dems Dig In, Threaten to Tank Biden Agenda."

Progressives are not trying to tank Biden's agenda. The corrupt corporate goons (no, they are not 'centrist,' 'moderate' or even 'conservative') like Sinema, Schrader and Golden are trying to tank Biden's agenda. The progressives are the ones actually trying to make sure Biden's agenda actually passes.

They need to hurry up and put Wolf Blitzer's old ass out to pasture.
