Senate Democrats just passed a $740 billion bill called the Inflation Reduction Act

0:07.5

during a 16-hour marathon voting procedure known as Vote Arama. The bill does a lot of things.

0:15.2

It sets aside $369 billion to line the pockets of the Democrats' pals in the green energy industry.

0:23.2

It extends Obamacare subsidies for next year. It raises all sorts of taxes on different groups

0:29.1

and corporations. It even increases taxes on gas and oil imports, which is pretty wild because

0:35.2

gas and oil prices are probably the single greatest driver of inflation. So you're going to raise

0:40.1

taxes on that, going to make the costs go up. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Pretty much,

0:44.3

pretty much, the only thing that the Inflation Reduction Act does not do is reduce inflation

0:51.1

as the Penn Wharton Budget Model showed last week. And as 88% of Democrats already know,

0:57.3

according to a recent UGov poll, and as even Bernie Sanders admits, when he refers to the

1:02.9

behemoth legislation as the, quote, so-called Inflation Reduction Act. These are not my words.

1:10.2

These are not the words of Ted Cruz or Donald Trump. These are Bernie Sanders' words, quote,

1:21.3

this bill, it will in fact have a minimal impact on inflation. It's not my best. The Fauci is better,

1:27.1

but you get the point. The Democrats voted for this stuff anyway. And they voted for it not because

1:32.6

it will reduce inflation, but because it gives them a lot of the dumb legislative agenda that they've

1:38.5

wanted for a very long time. Even leading Democrats cannot muster an economic argument for it.

1:46.4

Least of all, Joe Biden. Not only can Joe Biden not muster an economic argument for the bill,

2:01.0

he cannot even say the word economic. The whole sorry spectacle is just more evidence of a

2:06.9

disturbing trend that I have mentioned on this show before. The Libs are not even trying to make

2:14.4

arguments anymore. This is a really big shift and very few people are talking about it. In the old

2:19.3

days, the Libs would at least try to mask their power grabs and their personal interests in the
