Senate Democrats pass Biden’s sweeping spending and tax package...Vice President Harris served as the tie-breaking vote

Article Dig In The Senate on Sunday passed the $740 billion "Inflation Reduction Act" by a 51 to 50 vote, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the decisive, tie-breaker for Democrats.

The bill has the support of the Biden administration, which claimed it would "lower healthcare, prescription drug, and energy costs," along with reforming the tax code and investing in "energy security" while reducing the deficit.

It now headed to the Democrat-controlled House where it is also expected to pass – in a vote scheduled for later this week, before going to the White House for President Biden's signature.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called the bill "one of the defining legislative feats of the 21st century."

Senate Republicans were opposed to the measure, in part over its tax increases.

"The United States is experiencing a recession and, instead of taking active steps to fix the economic crisis, the Biden administration and the Democrats are doubling down on the dumb policies that created this mess," Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) tweeted.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said the legislation will "raise taxes" and "increase inflation."

Anyone that believes they can change the climate is just plain stupid.

Look at a graph of the gases in the atmosphere and you'll realize that it's not about changing the amount of MANMADE co2 in the atmosphere (which is only a guess to start with)...it's about MONEY...nothing more.

So... Kamala Harris, who is illegally sitting as vice president because she is not a natural born citizen since her parents were not U.S. citizens when she was born, just voided the law when she voted on it.

Why did the IRS buy 5,000,000 rounds of ammo?

Jun 25, 2022In just the last few months, the Internal Revenue Service has bought almost 5,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition — spending almost $700,000 in the process. The obvious question is why would a bunch of bean counters who spend their days staring at computer screens need to stock up on millions of rounds of ammo?

If her parents were legally within the United States she was a natural born citizen - that has been adjudicated many times over.

Saying the same false thing repeatedly does not make it any more true than the first time it was said.

Moreover, it is certainly not helpful to make illegitimate arguments against something which is remarkably awful for which a large number of legitimate arguments can be made against it.

Sounds like the Democrats are turning the IRS into a domestic military.

Absolutely not. Kamala Harris was born a citizen of India and Jamaica, the citizenship of her parents.

She can try to claim anchor baby citizenship but not natural born citizen which requires being born in the U.S. to parents who are both U.S. citizens.

Obama lamented that he “tried to do too much” (tried to fu*k Americans too hard). Now it’s his 3rd term and they’re wasting no time. They’re damaging us as much as possible right now.

Absolutely not and it's been avoided, not adjucated.

Claiming again and again that a person born in the United States born to non-citizen parents makes them a natural born citizen is exactly "saying the same false thing repeatedly does not make it any more true than the first time it was said".

A natural born citizen is born to two citizen parents.

Dems have single-handedly revived their mid-term prospects and diminished the red wave down to a red ripple with this bill.

Because they’re going to hold guns to the heads of middle-class taxpayers.

“passed” by one vote. ANd how many of these senators are completely illegitimate? How many of these senate races were stolen, such as the race that John James “lost”?
