Any time they use the word sweeping to describe new legislation, you can be assured we are being fleeced.

Whatever a bill is named you know it’s actually the opposite. If they passed the “Crippled Children Act” it would actually be a big new tax on wheelchairs. 🤡🌎

“Maybe this will tell those poor people to stop being so poor.”-United States congress

so excited about this bill - I was just telling my neighbor the other day, what America really needs right now is an additional 87k IRS employees to assist in economy. I have been waiting on getting audited for $20 receipt I never handed in, just to see what the fuss is about.

More inflation, more poverty, more need to a government to be Baby Daddy.

Printing $750 billion is supposed to lower inflation? I am glad the upper class will be blessed with $7500 towards their next Tesla, if we don't take care of the wealthy they might be mean to us.

Another bill that is supposed to "help" the people and yet it will do the opposite.

Spend money they don't have. Take it from the working person. The US is bankrupt

[stevefadrosh]

Sweeping? I guess we must have changed the definition of debilitating too. Man, it's hard to keep up these days.

20% inflation and depression by January because of this passage

[PhuryousOne]

Extra incentive to build new homes plus producing our own oil would have been a better idea.

[donrainesoh]

So it wasn’t about inflation, got ya. Just wondering how much more it will hurt us printing money from nothing.

[jimmykelly]

You thought that stimulus was free? That was a pay day loan with a 300% interest rate

[pretentiousprogressive]

Hyper inflation is coming folks. Prepare accordingly. Trade your monopoly money for tangible assets ASAP.

[dls]

Inflation Reduction Act? there is nothing in this bill that reduce inflation

[Thebob]

Using the word sweeping is propaganda.

[zgnu]

The middle class will have to pay more taxes like always.

[Bobo-jopk]

Remember how this was supposed too be an inflation reduction bill ? How does government spending decrease inflation. Honestly the only thing that has to really do with the economy in this bill is hiring 87, 000 new IRS agents to punish the poor and middle class.

[tom]

They always say this will be a tax on corporate America but guess who that 15 percent gets passed on to ? Us the average Americans.... So basically get ready for things to be 15 percent more expensive AGAIN...

[brianberthold]

all this will do is push us deeper into the DEPRESSION we are in
