Inflation Reduction Act. Over 300k jobs for sustainable energy. And the CHIPs Act. Two of my top.

Yeah right.the inflation reduction act that spent trillions,cost the average American family over 7500$ per year in added costs, and didn't do a damn thing to reduce inflation.just another corrupt giveaway to friends of the last administration.

Lol source for those numbers? It's estimated to cost a trillion at most over the course of a decade.

Seems the benefits would outweigh the cost, but that's just my opinion.

Source: Trust me bro.

I'm just impressed his response didn't have random words capitalized with sporadic punctuation.

The trillions number is the estimated cost over the next several decades, not how much has been spent as you imply. Doesn’t seem like a genuine criticism.

I’ve found literally nothing about it raising costs for the average American; in fact, I found the complete opposite. Plenty of other great things in there too.

Facts aren’t vibing with your feelings bud.

Want to elaborate? You can fact check every claim that was made. Have any actual info to provide or just talking out of your ass? I don’t blindly believe anything, I check data and sources. My link sources all its claims with data to back it up. You come with…nothing.

Look up Lindy Li, a former democratic fundraiser and personal has worked with the bidens. Listen to what she has to say and whys she’s ditched the Democratic Party

What does that have to do with what we’re talking about? You implied what I linked was false. My link sourced their data. You have yet to bring any actual data to support your stance. You bringing up some random persons talking points is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Edit: also looked this Lindy Li person up. They seem like a horrible person who changes their values based on what benefits them the most.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_Li

In March 2023, Li on a panel on MSNBC said, “Let’s also not ignore the fact that CPAC has become a gathering of sexual predators. Let’s be honest” and “Tonight, we have Trump, a serial rapist...So, this is the party that claims to be the party of Christian family values, and I have nothing to say or do but laugh at that!”[33]

In 2024, after the US presidential election, Li transitioned from being a supporter, to being a critic of the Democratic Party.

In January 2025, Li said, she “has been a conservative all my life.” Li later announced she was raising money for Trump and Republicans, despite having previously criticized Trump in harsh terms.[44]

Sounds like a wonderful person with consistent morals.

Listen to what she has to say on the Shawn Ryan interview.

I’ll pass. Once again, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

As an aside, if you want people to read or watch some media you should really source it yourself.
