ABC News anchor Jon Karl pressed top White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre on Sunday over whether it was “Orwellian” to refer to a Democrat-backed spending bill as the “Inflation Reduction Act.”
Karl noted recent analysis from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. Despite its legislation’s branding, the CBO found recently passed bill would have a “negligible” impact on inflation this year and next.
“Isn’t it almost Orwellian?” Karl said. “How can you call it the Inflation Reduction Act when the nonpartisan experts say it’s not going to bring it down?”

Best way to reduce inflation — hire 87,000 IRS agents.
Huh?
A blind squirrel can find a nut!!!!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!
No *hit!
Better not think too much you might lose your job.
They plan to squeeze our collective nipples for tax money until they turn purple.....that’s how and why they say this abomination is already paid for.
Like anybody believes that bullshit.
Mr. Karl should just go back to sleep.
Jonathan Karl has a moment of clear thought, they’ll be sure to get him straightened out.
The Democrats have adopted Orwell 100%, including free speech suppression, all of it.
An ABC reporter asked a fair, objective question of Biden’s media flack? What is the current temperature in Hades?
Any odds on whether Karine Jean-Pierre will have any idea what is meant by “Orwellian”?
John Karl is one of us.
“Almost”?
A quadrillion to one? 🙄🙄🙄
A clock is right twice a day, Karl is unable to reach that standard.
Under Dem math. Each buck spent on a new IRS returns $2.33 or so. So, why not hire 5 million IRS agents? Budget problems solved.
1984 was not supposed to be a government handbook.
See my new tagline.
:-)
“Almost?”
The increase in the corporate tax rate, which they know will be passed along to consumers, will help crush demand. Low demand means lower prices for things. Couple that with a few modest increases in the Fed rate and that’s their plan to reduce inflation.
Truth is this plan will take a long time to reset prices. That is also a feature of the plan. With this they can say we are address the issues but they know it will take a long time which is what they want...high prices forever basically.
revised tagline
He’s wrong. “Almost”? The media and Democrats have been wedded lockstep to an Orwellian blueprint for a couple of years now.
