The broadcast news extols the claimed virtues but again fail to mention the true ugly of this outrageous atrocity

Highly unlikely as they are mostly uninformed, misinformed, misled, deceived and lied to or just dont care.

What sense does this make for me to subsidize EV owners, most of them making well over 6 figures?

Just stupid, especially since this doesn't include student loan relief.

The Senate made history. The Inflation Reduction Act is one of the defining legislative measures of the 21st century and the Biden administration. On to the House for passage!

Democrats need to comply with those rules to advance the legislation, called the Inflation Reduction Act, without any Republican votes.

The legislation, however, still includes a $35 copay cap on the price of insulin for people 65 and older on Medicare."
No, you don't understand how it works. The vote taken was to overrule the parliamentarian on this point which would have allowed the insulin provision to move forward as part of the bill. That is all Republicans needed to do. Republican refusal to allow this was nothing but a disgusting, cynical display of partisanship without regard for the welfare of those affected.

The bill extends the increased ACA subsidies through 2025, as well as allows higher incomes to qualify for subsidies on the exchange. Win for the millions who need healthcare and don't have it provided by an employer, as the increased subsidies were set to expire at the end of 2022.

Dems are true political-soldiers........they can label this bilge as inflation-reduction and
act like they actually believe it, that is impressive.

And most Sheeple, yes, they will fall in line with the Dems and
support this 750-billion dollar stinker.
