He also emerged as an influential player in the passage of Biden’s signature Inflation Reduction Act, providing one of the final votes needed for the Democratic-only bill that invested billions in deficit reduction, invested in U.S. renewable and non-renewable energy production, allowed Medicare to negotiate on some prescription drug prices and capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35.
How, exactly, does one spend billions to reduce a deficit? It is spending. Worse, it is spending borrowed money. If I go out and spend $1,000, what could I possibly spend it on that would reduce a family budget deficit (if we had one)? The dullard who wrote that should be sent to a Dave Ramsey class.
