Which President gave us the Inflation Reduction Act?

You are fake news-ing again.
Why do you MAGAts think that every hairbrained opinion you just pull straight outta your asses becomes a "fact" just because you say it?


Inflation started its rise at the beginning of the pandemic (Trump's last year) and continued to rise sharply in the first year of the Biden administration before it started to come back down. The reasons are complex but the fact that it was lower under Trump is simply a matter of timing. Trump's economy was good but it wasn't great even before the pandemic. He had higher unemployment than we have now, he blew out the deficit with his tax cuts and his tariffs accomplished zilch. Sure, the stock market was roaring but it's even higher now.

Unlike Trump, who simply rode an already good economy, Biden started out with the massive crisis Trump left him and managed to dig out from under it in record time. No other country in the world has recovered as quickly and had Trump won re-election there's little evidence in his record that he could have done the same. All he knows is tariffs and and tax cuts and he's promising more of the same.


Yeah, how did all this spending REDUCE inflation?

The Inflation Reduction Act: Here’s what’s in it
October 24, 2022 | Article

The Inflation Reduction Act contains $500 billion in new spending and tax breaks that aim to boost clean energy, reduce healthcare costs, and increase tax revenues.

Net zero is a critical global imperative. But achieving it will come down to actions taken on the national, state, community, and even individual level. In pursuit of net zero, the United States passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022. In coming years, the IRA will direct nearly $400 billion in federal funding toward clean energy, with the goal of substantially lowering the nation’s carbon emissions by 2030—and reinvigorating America’s global economic competitiveness, innovation, and industrial productivity. The IRA is one of three major investment bills passed since November 2021; together, the IRA, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and the CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS) are projected to inject more than $2 trillion into the US economy.

Also, what exactly did bidens “law” do?

Lots

Inflation Reduction Act and Medicare
IRA drug

Part D Improvements

People with Medicare will benefit from lower prescription drug costs and a redesigned prescription drug program. Benefits include:
  • Insulin available at $35/month per covered prescription
  • Access to recommended adult vaccines without cost-sharing
  • A yearly cap ($2,000 in 2025) on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs in Medicare
  • Expansion of the low-income subsidy program (LIS or “Extra Help”) under Medicare Part D to 150% of the federal poverty level starting in 2024
IRA negotiation

Medicare Drug Price Negotiation

Medicare will be able to negotiate directly with drug manufacturers to lower the price of some of the costliest single-source brand-name Medicare Part B and Part D drugs. This means that people with Medicare will have increased access to innovative, life-saving treatments, and the costs will be lower for both them and Medicare.
ira payment

Inflation Rebates in Medicare

The new law requires drug companies that raise their drug prices faster than the rate of inflation to pay Medicare a rebate. This will lead to a stronger Medicare for current and future enrollees and discourage unreasonable price increases by drug companies.
ira insulin

Changes to Medicare Part B

Changes in the Medicare Part B program will improve access to high quality, affordable biosimilars for people with Medicare as well as impose a $35/month cost-sharing cap on insulin used in durable medical equipment pumps.
The Inflation Reduction Act makes Medicare stronger for current and future enrollees. It makes health care more accessible, equitable, and affordable by lowering what Medicare spends for prescription drugs and limiting increases in prices.

And for the pre-Medicare folks buying insurance, it extended the American Rescue Plan's beefed-up premium tax credits to make coverage more affordable.


What was the reason for President Biden reversing Trump's lowering of costs to those on Social Security? If what Trump did was terrible for recipients, what made it good when it was done by Biden?
Trump didn't actually do anything, which is why the Inflation Reduction Act was needed.

Trump didn't actually do anything, which is why the Inflation Reduction Act was needed.

Sure he did, he made an EO to have companies offer insulin and epi pens at a reduced price, until Biden blocked it…

Also, as I’ve already showed, Biden exaggerated when he said “$400 per month”, many people on Medicare were already paying about $38 a month for insulin.
 


Well, it was obviously President Biden - so why does Trump try to take credit for it? What do you think?

You think Trump or any conservative wants credit for the "inflation reduction act"? We told you fucking idiots would happen if you passed that bill and everything we said was right. You guys absolutely WRECKED the economy with that disastrous bill.
 
Yeah ...........A statement.

Obviously Trump does. He’s smarting over the fact that in four years he failed to lower peoples insulin costs and Biden has delivered bigly.
Trump lowered insulin costs yes, but what he didnt to was blow trillions of dollars and call it "reducing inflation"..

They wasted all that money and wrecked our economy.
 

Wrong! Congress did act, Trump ran interference for Big Pharma, as he did his whole term.

Democrats pass U.S. bill to lower drug prices that Trump threatens to veto

Sorry you fell for his fake EOs. On the bright side, you benefit from Biden’s actions to bring down drug prices regardless of whether you have any understanding of what’s going on.
