The Democrats’ Higher Tax, Bigger IRS, More Inflation Bill

Commentary During the August break, every Republican House and Senate candidate should challenge their Democrat opponents to defend the new, destructive, and unpopular Joe Manchin-Chuck Schumer bill. Democrats hope to camouflage the bill by calling it the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.” In the business world, this title would lead to a lawsuit over false…


Inflation Reduction Act Will Raise Taxes, Add to Stagflation, Critics Warn

President Joe Biden and the Democrats claim that the breakthrough Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is a landmark bill that will fight inflation, trim the federal deficit, and support the growth-generating green economy.  The bill proposes a 15 percent corporate minimum tax rate, Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidy extensions, prescription drug price reform, green…


The Dems’ New Proposal Does Nothing to Lower Inflation

Commentary The first thing to remember about the reconciliation bill Sens.

Inflation Reduction Act—or Radical Green New Deal?

Commentary Make no mistake, the so-called Inflation Reduction Act unveiled Wednesday by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will do nothing that its supporters state—in fact, it will do quite the opposite.
