Last week the Inflation Reduction Act passed the Senate after a long 24 hours of Republicans and Democrats going back on forth to vote on amendments.
By now it is well known that whatever Democrats claim something, just expect the opposite. Such as the name of the bill for instance: “Inflation Reduction Act.”
Several experts have voiced their concern that the bill will do nearly nothing to combatting inflation or it will make the economy worse off. Even the Congressional Budget Office has predicted the Left’s jacked up spending bill will actually drive prices up, contrary to what they say it will do.
Putting that aside what the bill will and won’t do aside, it’s important to note what critics are renaming the Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.VA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY): the radical Green New Deal.
They argue that the act will not only drive prices up, it will make the U.S. less energy secure and do virtually nothing for the environment.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) said that the Inflation Reduction Act is just another way of getting Democrat’s radical, socialist climate czar bill passed. The left’s “Inflation Reduction Act” is just a Trojan Horse for their socialist agenda – $370B for the Green New Deal, $64B for Obamacare, and $313B in taxes on small businesses.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
