Get ready for more pain America. These people don't have a clue.

I have zero faith that our government still has the ability to pass a “good” bill. We are so divided and our government so bureaucratic that they can’t pass a bill that isn’t more pork than substance. I love my Country but our government needs term limits and we need to find a way to reign in the bureaucrats

People complain about Christianity but don’t seem to complain about the religion of democrats.

This lady is a shining example.

2 consecutive quarters of contraction, massive and yet still underestimated inflation, low labor force participation, low productivity, low low low.
"Some say it might be a recession". Is there nothing the media won't do for Brandon?

Why isn’t Obama concerned about climate change? He recently purchased 2 beach front mansions in Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard.

When watching sporting events I can’t help notice the lack of diversity in such countries such as Jamaica, Ethiopia, Cameroon and Egypt

We need to extract more oil & gas ! ⛽️ We’re still dependent on them for major energy expenditures

[jamsid]

did she actually say "get expensive fossil fuels out of their lives" ? she didnt say that did she?

It's the same scare tactic in a new package.
Ozone layer, acid rain, deforestation, ..they just relabel it every few years.

The dark spot is all the elderly, disabled and veterans who will freeze to death this winter because they can't afford fuel to heat their homes. Also, all the people who will walk to work in sub zero temperatures because they cannot afford gas or electric cars. This bill hurts the poor. The U.S. needs to make sure they are taken care of first before moving forward. Only the rich will survive.

[romantemniuk]

Wow this is complete B.S. I need help paying for food not this. This does nothing to fight inflation.

Gen X: we might be able to make a change by recycling our cans.
Gen Z: We must stop climate change now! While drinking their bottled water.

I used to trust MSNBC when they used to air “To Catch a Predator.” Not anymore

As an environmentalist with 29 years of experience in Earth's climate I can tell you that the earth's climate has been changing for 4.2 billion years and will continue to do so regardless of man.

[mhollman]

Spend MORE in this inflated economy..


It doesn’t matter how you spin it. It’s exactly what SHOULDN’T happen

[easternsun]

Some say the empty space between this woman's ears is an environmental hazard .

[jakesteel]

This is insane we are in so much danger with these fools

[IronskullGM]

Instead of raising taxes, we should work on government corruption and waste. The real problem here isn't the People, its our government spending more than the people can afford.

[pinonnut]

They hate the working poor cause Jesus loves us
