The House of Representatives passed the Inflation Reduction Act on Friday along party lines, and it is expected to be signed into law by President Joe Biden next week.

All 220 Democrats voted in favor, and 207 Republicans voted against it. Four Republicans did not vote on the legislation, and many members voted remotely by proxy.

“Today, the American people won. Special interests lost. With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in the House, families will see lower prescription drug prices, lower health care costs, and lower energy costs,” President Joe Biden tweeted.

“I look forward to signing it into law next week,” he added.

Despite the bill’s name, it mainly focuses on energy and healthcare. As RedState reported, the legislation will barely have any impact on inflation.

The Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates that the Inflation Reduction Act would reduce non-interest cumulative deficits by $248 billion over the budget window with no impact on GDP in 2031.

“It doesn’t even have a review from the Congressional Budget Office,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) said on the House floor.

“But just a few hours ago we got this, and it was a confirmation that the IRS agents will be getting about $20 billion in new taxes from people making less than $400,000. That’s right, the CBO just confirmed it a few hours ago… This bill breaks President Biden’s promise,” he added, referencing new details from the CBO about the Democrats’ tax plan within the bill, as RedState reported.

War on the American People. The “sheep” “feel” that the government will “protect them”.

“ 87,000 armed IRS agents willing to shoot Americans.”

And, perhaps even scarier, the EPA being given CARTE BLANCHE to do WHATEVER THEY WANT to reduce CO2 emissions. And they will do the MAXIMUM DAMAGE TO AMERICA that they can dream of under this legislation.

Again, the people re getting what they voted for. By voting for and electing Democrats, they sowed to the wind. Hence, they will reap the whirlwind. God is Good! He gives the People what they want. They will not like the results though. Thank You Lord for giving the People what they want!

Hang it around the RATS necks during the November 8th elections.

Everybody hates the IRS....it should be easy to run damning political ads.

Dear Mr. and Mrs., as well as He/She/They pronoun democratic voters,

I sincerely hope that some of the brand new armed 87,000 IRS agents do a very, very thorough audit of you and yours. No, He/She/They pronoun, you cannot count your cats as dependents.

Now pay up, each and every one of you!

Respectively,
Deplorables

220 Democrats + 207 Republicans + 4 Republicans = 431 Total

Aren’t there 435 Representatives?

Illegal acts are the Democrat Party’s SOP. All Democrats are so crooked that when they die, they can’t be buried. They have to be screwed into the ground.

Going to be a lean Christmas for the next two years after all the new taxes coming down the pike.

No democrat congressman/woman of senator will receive an audit rigging the system again.

Never turn your back on a democrat
