Inflation Reduction Act - Joke? | #198

Episode description

The Biden Administration has just approved the Inflation Reduction Act. This act supposedly aims to reduce the budget deficit while aiding our inflation issue. Unfortunately, most of the act is a spending bill, especially for energy, climate change, and the employment of an additional 87,000 IRA agents. We hope you enjoy this discussion on the problems with this new Act.
