In case you missed it — and, unless you have figured out a way to pay for all your household expenses with unicorn hairs and fairy dust, there’s no way you’ve missed it — inflation is still a problem. A huge problem. A huge problem that just keeps getting huger.
Now, I don’t know about you guys, but when I saw that President Joe Biden is celebrating this news by having a celebration of the Inflation Reduction Act at the White House today, I rolled my eyes. And then I hurled myself through the nearest window. OK, I didn’t really defenestrate myself, but I may as well have. At least it’d give me a different kind of pain to focus on for a little while to distract me from the boot Biden and Democrats are squishing into my neck.
Apparently we’re all supposed to be really happy that Dems keep finding new ways to take our money. Be really happy with the scraps they’re leaving us with, which aren’t even scraps so much as they are slaps … in our faces.

It’s no surprise that the White House would try to focus on the clean energy aspect of the Inflation Reduction Act. After all, that’s what they’ve been doing since the moment Joe Biden signed that garbage legislation. Clearly the Inflation Reduction Act was never about reducing inflation at all.
But the idea that I or anyone else should be jumping for joy over increased battery storage while we can’t afford groceries and the stock market keeps taking dives is downright insulting and, quite frankly, it really, really pisses me off.
Are American families supposed to rest easy knowing the “Inflation Reduction Act” will help them with battery storage instead? https://t.co/8b9Em1KOIa

Using the word 'folks' just because 'Scranton Joe' uses it does not, in fact, make one 'folksy' or relatable. Average Americans are being crippled by inflation and rising costs in the here and now, and nothing about this green energy is cheap – unless they include nuclear. https://t.co/JfX3GaBtfs

Maybe it’s time for a second look at self-defenestration after all.
maybe the Inflation Reduction Act should have had some stuff to address inflation instead of just a grab bag of random spending? i dunno just spitballing https://t.co/sPFCGUt9CR
