Democrats Pass Large Tax Bill to Change the Weather in the Middle of a Recession

Remember: your life might be hard, but it’s going to be a lot harder when the weather finally changes and everyone gets really hot with swamp ass.

We have to act now to change the weather and make it colder so that you will not have to deal with a sweaty ass in years to come. Future generations do not deserve to have swamp ass.

Also, fat people need free medicine because they are so fat and lazy and can’t work to pay their own medical bills.

New York Post:

Leading GOP figures eviscerated Senate Democrats for pushing through a $740 billion package that would spend on energy and health care while raising corporate taxes with the GOP chair warning midterms would be painful for President Biden’s party.

“Democrats will pay the price in November for raising taxes on families during a recession,” Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.

Senate Democrats narrowly approved the Inflation Reduction Act Sunday, with Vice President Kamala Harris the deciding vote in the 51-50 passage. No Republican backed the bill and quickly slammed it as it moves its way to the House, which also holds a slim Democratic majority.

The bill would put close to $400 billion into environmental initiatives while also extending expiring subsidies for 13 million people seeking affordable health insurance. It will also cap out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors on Medicare to $2,000 yearly.

Some of the $700 billion in new revenue would come from a minimum 15% corporate tax rate imposed on very wealthy corporations that have profits of more than $1 billion each year.

Because remember: taxing corporations is a real thing and it also reduces inflation.

That’s basic economics 101.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in a statement, said that Democratic policies have led to an “economic assault on the American middle class.”

“Democrats have proven over and over they simply do not care about middle-class families’ priorities,” McConnell said (R-KY). “They have spent 18 months proving that. They just spent hundreds of billions of dollars to prove it again.”

Sen. Mitt Romney argued Democrats helped contribute to inflation when they passed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan last year and “returned to their same tired playbook to raise taxes, spend more money, and expand the size of government.”

“Rather than listening to the American people who are suffering from inflation, Democrats have voted for a liberal wish list,” Romney (R-UT) said, stating higher taxes on companies will be passed on to customers.

“The American people, who are drowning in debt and inflation, needed a life preserver and Democrats gave them a bag of hammers.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) assailed the bill as a “give-away to the Democrats’ radical leftist base at the expense of middle-class Americans.” He added it would raise prices and raise taxes on Americans in most tax brackets, including those who make less than $400,000 annually.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) was blunt in a video he posted on Twitter.

“It takes a special kind of stupid in my judgment to raise taxes during a recession and inflation,” he said. “That’s called stagflation, which is what we have right now as a result of President Biden’s policies.”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) said she voted against the bill because it puts billions into new spending and taxes “when our economy can least afford it, along with the absolute lack of transparency that went into crafting and processing it.”

The only time you get all of these hardcore shill Republicans standing up against the Democrats is when it relates to taxes – because that’s the only thing their donors are actually paying them to oppose.

If Democrats didn’t have the votes to get this passed, they would have called it “The Taiwan Freedom Bill” and just put their taxes and “green energy” swindles next to a plan to send even more weapons to Taiwan. But they had the votes they needed.

Very few Republicans will even say that global warming is a hoax anymore. Ted Cruz acts like it’s real. Donald Trump will still call it a hoax. And Marjorie Taylor Greene. Most of the rest of them feel like it is too plebeian to call “hoax” on something that is endorsed by The Science.

At this point, this spending stuff doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t matter. This whole country is so totally doomed that none of this stuff matters.

But, frankly: this one bill is probably going to do more to cause inflation than a year’s worth of fed rate-hikes will do to slow inflation. They could have just not raised rates and then not passed this bill, and it would have pretty much evened out.

The fact that this is called “The Inflation Reduction Act” is just bizarre and intended to be confusing.
