    What did the inflation reduction act do? Like materially how did it makes peoples lives better? Did people get better healthcare? Did the unhomed get housing? Did the starving get food? Did the unemployed get jobs?

    What did it DO?

      It started creating a ton of jobs in the renewable energy and electric vehicles space to cut the cost of electricity and getting around.

      Republicans repealed it once they came to power

        Do you see the point I am making at least? I’m not even saying it’s bad I’m just saying it’s not a meaningful fix for the systemic issues. It’s a bandaid on top of a wound that we are hemorrhaging from profusely.

          You want huge systemic change, it takes giving Democrats a 75% supermajority like they had to pass rhe New Deal. You dont get it by giving them a situation where picking off a single marginal vote with a bribe can derail legislation

            You think the Dems are interested in doing New Deal type politics when they are actively defending ICE? Come on man.
