Democrats are not as idiotic as Republicans.

Increasing or decreasing the money supply in and of itself does not affect inflation.  The simple explanation is when the money supply increases faster than the economy is growing, inflation can occur.

🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

The party that uses stupid pronouns, that changes the definition of inflation, changes the definition of man/woman, that thinks taxes will help inflation/economy, worships EVs that use electricity from burning fossil fuels, that wants to defund the police, that has let thugs and trash burn and loot their downtown areas, that takes a soft stance towards china, ok !

You miss the part where San Fran Nan went to Taiwan? QAnon97 may disagree with you on the tax part.  He doesn't want senior citizens to have more money by paying less for their meds as it leads to inflation.

workers at the 2nd largest aluminum mill in America, accounting for 20% of US supply, learned they were losing their jobs because the plant can’t afford an electricity tab that’s tripled in a matter of months. "

From the fishwrap .......
Reducing the costs for the 10 drugs is great, but 10 ?
I suppose they can find 10 older drugs that are losing market share.
By 2029, some of the most popular 60 .... some ?
At least we'll have 87,000 new Democratic donors, I mean IRS agents, to go over the returns of people who can't afford a tax accountant.

I think it’s a good idea that the legislation incentivizes EV and battery manufacturing in North America with minerals mined or recycled on the continent.  More of this please:

yeah awesome lets keep trashing the environment of north america, very cool

Pretty funny that nobody ever mentions a government funded trash recycling program, I mean that would certainly provide a much bigger benefit to a green agenda that bombing brown people 5000 miles away or giving more foreign aid to our enemies or money to people who can't be bothered to file their taxes or work or more manufacturing subsidies to the chinese

And yet QAnon97 whines and moans about what happens when we abdicate our role as World's Policeman for 4 years..... Can't have it both ways, but you will still try to.

That’s being addressed separately. 

Biden plan could allow new offshore drilling in Gulf of Mexico
https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/02/biden-gulf-drilling-leasing-oil/

Biden administration pushes more ocean drilling amid record oil and gas profits. 
https://theintercept.com/2022/07/06/biden-oil-gas-drilling-royalty-rates/

Don’t worry, BIG OIL already gets plenty of government subsidies and incentives, some dating back to 1912.
https://www.volts.wtf/p/subsidies-really-do-matter-to-the?triedSigningIn=true#details. 

Oh my, the Inflation Reduction Act contains a few goodies for the oil and gas industry.  Damn it!!!! I hope Biden vetoes the bill.

Translation: Let's keep offshoring our pollution. 

As to government support for recycling, you might want to take a peek at the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act:
https://www.wastedive.com/news/epa-feedback-recycling-375-million-infrastructure-bill/625275/

I do agree that improving waste reduction, recycling and composting efforts should be a priority for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, along with decarbonizing the energy, transportation and industrial sectors.

Yeah, let’s keep the existing inefficient system that has multiple entities negotiating simultaneously – (aka, the Republican way). 

Governing is hard.  You have to start somewhere to deal with exorbitant drug prices and this is the best deal that could be struck. The bill sets criteria for choosing which drugs to target, such as drugs that have been around a while, don’t have cheaper alternatives and that Medicare spends a lot on. 

Plenty of good targets like Orencia (for rheumatoid arthritis) and pricey cancer therapies.

One well known Republican strategery is to sabotage programs, then say, see it doesn't work.
