Naming it the Inflation Reduction Act was false advertising
American Thinker ^ | 8 Aug, 2022 | Olivia Murray

How anyone believed hundreds of billions in new spending was going to lower inflation is beyond me—but they’re not called ‘useful idiots’ for nothing.

On Sunday, the United States Senate passed what was imprudently named the Inflation Reduction Act—with Kamala Harris breaking the tie, literally snickering as she condemned America to further economic carnage, and working-class citizens to utter financial strangulation.

SNIP

Interesting to note is that the mockingbird media—nothing more than a propaganda machine at the behest of the Democrat-Marxists driving the country into the ground—referred to the bill as the Inflation Reduction Act, but only until it passed. Now the headlines read:

1. Senate passes $739bn healthcare and climate bill after months of wrangling

2. Senate passes Democrats’ sweeping health care and climate bill

3. U.S. Senate approves bill to fight climate change, cut drug costs in win for Biden

4. Senate Democrats passed an election-year economic bill package focused on climate, taxes and health care with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris.

Now wait just a darned minute here. Is this author implying that Congress would lie to us?

Impossible!

Everyone knows that Congress is a paragon of virtue!

How about calling it the more inflation bill or the don’t say depression bill? It would be accurate and the leftists would hate it

The name works on regular viewers of The View, CNN and MSNBC.

That’s why they don’t care. The sheep 🐑🐑🐑 fall for it every time.

Just like calling the COVID Relief Bill was false advertising.

It was really more about special interests — union pension bailouts, teacher’s union bailouts, green energy scam, woke BS, etc.

It should have been named The Fascist Government Thievery Act. Thieving politicians spending money that doesn’t belong to them.

An uninformed, shallow public is easily misled by a corrupt media which pushes the ideas the corrupt administration wants pushed. The bill is a democrat wish list, full of rotten democrat things democrats wanted in “build back better.”

They named the bill “Inflation Reduction Act” because inflation is on the minds of the folks, and because they think we are stupid and will believe it will reduce inflation.

We need to sweep the dems out of office!

It’s actually a pretty clever way to get more prog dreams into law. When this spending increases inflation, which it will, the Fed (who by law has the job of controlling inflation) will raise interest rates further, eventually to cause a steep recession. This will reduce inflation, ultimately, unless the Dems continue to pour fuel on the fire. When it does, they’ll claim credit for the inflation reduction, pointing to this act. They will also blame the Fed for the recession, pointing out how it was unnecessary because this act did what the Dems said it would do.

At least they’re honest; the bill is not a win for the public, it’s a political “win” for Biden. That’s all that matters to the MSM.

Our forefathers would have burned down their houses and had survivors hanging by lamp posts by now.

And they'll still blame Republicans when inflation continues to go up.

Just like naming the party as ‘democratic party’ is also false advertising.

It should be the ‘inflation production act’ instead of the ‘inflation reduction act’.
