And unlike the senate which waived covid procedures for in person voting Pelosi allowed proxy voting so 158 congress people let someone else vote for them. 158 people didn't want to be held accountable for their vote?

Were they more scared of covid or the consequences for their desired vote.

It is now law!

Biden signs major climate, health care and tax bill into law
Quote:
President Joe Biden signed into law Tuesday a major Democratic spending bill that seeks to fight climate change, raise taxes on corporations and expand health care coverage.

The bill, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act, is a major legislative achievement for Democrats ahead of the midterm elections. It passed the House and the Senate last week with the support of every Democrat and no Republicans.

“With this law, the American people won, and the special interests lost,” Biden said in remarks from the White House. “We didn’t tear down; we built up. We didn’t look back; we looked forward. And today offers further proof that the soul of America is vibrant.”

It has been nearly a year since Biden signed this law.

And already it is having such an amazing effect, even the CEO of US Steel is waxing poetic about it!

U.S. Steel CEO Burritt is bullish on America, thanks to Inflation Reduction Act
Quote:
"I couldn't be more bullish on the steel industry, and I couldn't be more bullish on United States Steel," CEO David Burritt said Friday in a Bloomberg interview, after the company posted Q2 adjusted earnings that topped estimates.

A big reason is the Inflation Reduction Act, which Burritt said should be called the "Manufacturing Renaissance Act," because it is "the most incredible thing we've seen in the United States for a very long time. It's fantastic to see that our country finally recognizes how important a strong manufacturing base is."

It probably directly corelates to the long-standing trend of increasing manufacturing output and profit margins with less labor needed.

Wrong ... though they've certainly been flat:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MANEMP

In January there were 12,985,000 manufacturing jobs.
In June (latest month) there were 12,989,000 manufacturing jobs.

Only months in which they actually fell were March and May, which were very small declines. Other months have had very small rises.

And I might add that all year the number has been higher than anything under Trump.

Maybe they should call it, "Baby Build Back Better." Would be a much better name than “The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022,” which is a really boring name. That way you could call it "Biden's Baby Build Back Better," or "Quintuple-B" for short!

Presuming it passes the hurtles listed in the article, and presuming Joe Manchin doesn't change his mind at the last minute (again!), this would mean . . . . . . . the Socialist Utopia is at hand!

Manchin and Schumer announce deal that includes energy, taxes
I like Baby Build Back Better, or B4. As in "put things back the way they were B4 Oatmeal was in the Oval".
