    Democrats are celebrating the signing of the “Inflation Reduction Act” this week, even though the bill will not reduce inflation at all, and may exacerbate it.

    They are happy because they were able to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on pet causes and special interest groups — spending they were too embarrassed, and crafty, to call by its real name.

    The act’s main priority is spending on “green” energy subsidies, which Democrats say will slow climate change — though even that is probably untrue.

    The act also raises taxes — in the midst of an economic contraction that none dare call a “recession.” Ostensibly, the tax hikes will only affect rich people and corporations…

    …In the days before the bill passed Congress, the media stopped referring to the act’s title; they were embarrassed by the CBO’s estimate that the legislation would have no short-term effect on inflation. It also defied common sense to claim that borrowing and spending additional massive amounts of money would somehow lower prices….

    …Democrats know they are lying; they believe it to be for the greater good, because the people ought not be trusted. They need a “nudge” from government, as Cass Sunstein says; they need stories like the Hunter Biden laptop to be censored, as Sam Harris said this week. The problem: this strategy has no limit — until the system fails and the truth can no longer be denied…

    The OP author is right. Democrat policies are flat out lies as to their intent. Clear examples of bait and switch. Even worse, in many cases their bills as labeled and written have almost exactly the opposite effect as opposed to the propaganda labeled titles.

    This bill when it comes to inflation and taxes is the exact opposite of what it’s stated name infers that it would do. The middle class is so messed up by this. Hopefully red states will create state economic and tax policies that will positively impact their regions and put them further ahead of the blue states economies.

    The swindle starts with the title and gets worse from there.

    "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you". When we hear that we know to bend over and grab our ankles.

    Food Prices Soaring

    'We asked CNN readers how inflation has impacted their eating habits, and many mentioned dining out less often, buying less meat and giving up splurges. Some said they are very worried about the future. Food prices have spiked 11.4% over the past year, the largest annual increase since May 1979, according to data released in mid-September by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Grocery prices jumped 13.5% and restaurant menu prices increased 8% in that period.'

    HUNGER STALKS AMERICAN FAMILIES IN THE BIDEN/DEM INFLATION NIGHTMARE.

    'Food “matters a lot to our self esteem, our mood,” said William Masters, a professor at Tufts University’ school of nutrition science and policy who is also a member of the economics department faculty. “Not being able to buy the foods that people are used to — that your children are asking for, that your family wants — that’s a really hard thing,” he said. “Any disruption of habit is very, very hard.”'

    FOOD AUSTERITY

    “What used to cost us $250 to $300 … is now $400.” Ehrman, 60, and her husband, 65, rely on his social security income, and the increase was stretching their budget. “We just couldn’t do that.”
