Dems propose raising taxes and spending a day before the country is officially in a recession. Manchin on board.

Twitchy: Dems propose raising taxes and spending a day before the country is officially in a recession.

The GDP numbers are due Thursday, and they’re going to show the U.S. economy contracting over two consecutive quarters … in other words, a recession. Don’t worry, though: Sens. Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin have reached a deal on something called … get this … the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

    We must be honest about the economic reality America now faces. That's why I'm proud to support the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which will address record inflation by paying down our national debt, and by lowering energy & healthcare costs. MORE: https://t.co/oPZF1gilEh

    Lol imagine calling for new taxes the day before we find out we're officially in a recession.

    Insane. https://t.co/FFvvY7jKBQ

    Amazing that Dems are proposing raising taxes and spending (what else?) a couple of days before we're likely to hear that we're in a recession. https://t.co/V0ccNFgbuz

    These are all long-time Dem agenda items that have absolutely nothing to do with inflation. And throwing another $369B into the economy will not only undercut reliable energy production it's basically asking for more trouble.

    Only Democrats would, as inflation hits 40-year-highs, propose a massive tax increase on businesses (that will proceed to raise their prices) so they can fund $800 billion of new spending on green energy grift and call it the "Inflation Reduction Act."

    This will drive USA towards being Venezuela or Sri Lanka by the end of Bidens term….

Yep, in typical, unexpected treasonous Democrat Manchin bowed to his Master, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schebrew.

Anyone expecting a different outcome was either not paying attention or blinded by their unrepentant adoration of...ugh...The Amish.
