WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats pushed their election-year economic package to Senate passage Sunday, a hard-fought compromise less ambitious than President Joe Biden’s original domestic vision but one that still meets deep-rooted party goals of slowing global warming, moderating pharmaceutical costs and taxing immense corporations.

Nonpartisan analysts have said the 755-page “Inflation Reduction Act” would have a minor effect on surging consumer prices.

OPINION: Is Biden really the Lincoln of our time?
-—Lawton Constitution,July 16, 2021

“The crisis Lincoln was dealing with when he gets inaugurated was substantially larger than at least right now what Joe Biden is facing,” said Christian McWhirter, a Lincoln historian with the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield. Steven Spearie

“They own this monstrosity.”

Wrong, it would not have been possible without the RINOs voting for the CHIPS and Science Act. Dems supposedly lied to the RINOs and said the climate bill would be dead if they voted for the Chips Act. The idiots weren’t stupid, they are claiming to have been deceived.

“Inflation Reduction Act”

Which, in Reality (where I live, Miss You, Rush!) means it is the Inflation Doubling Act!

How can we have the greatest collection of economic idiots, self-serving grifters and America-Hating SWINE concentrated in one spot on the planet?

AARRGGHH!

Plan accordingly, FRiends. Many of us here have been saying since 2020 that things will get MUCH worse before they get even a little bit better. :(

You know I am at the point I don’t give a chit anymore. I hate them I hate them with a passion I’ve never known before. That is how much rage the American people have. Unfortunately sometimes that rage does not take the form of action so we end up swallowing or hatred towards them and continue voting for them ...we have no choice. Sri Lanka sure taught us a teachable moment though!

If you don’t care, why bother voting at all? They deserve our contempt..not our votes.
Trump is my one and only vote. The rest of the ballot is blank...I really don’t give a damn.

I thought that there would be opportunity to offer up amendments which had no time limit on debate. So why didn’t Republicans try to delay this with loads of amendments?
