Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced on Wednesday that he has struck a deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on legislation aimed at advancing key pieces of President Biden’s agenda, including measures that target taxes, lowering drug prices and combating climate change.

“I strongly support the passage of commonsense policies that reduce inflation and focus on the major challenges confronting America today and in the future,” Manchin said in a statement.

“I now propose and will vote for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Rather than risking more inflation with trillions in new spending, this bill will cut the inflation taxes Americans are paying, lower the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs, and ensure our country invests in the energy security and climate change solutions we need to remain a global superpower through innovation rather than elimination,” he added.

The announcement comes after Manchin had previously backed away from talks relating to climate and tax provisions, saying he’d rather focus on lowering drug costs.

How does it achieve those objectives?
What else is in this bill?

I don’t trust this administration at all. Everything they touch, every time it tries to help, it makes a complete mess of everything. I’d prefer everyone sit tight until midterms…

Gee, who could have possibly seen this coming? They just didn't grease his palms enough the first time, predictably.

As well as increased taxes and inflation while destroying our infrastructure with too much reliance on “green” energy.

Remember.. the name of legislation is always the exact opposite of its result. Sorta like the affordable care act. This should probably be some sort of universally recognized scientific thereom
