Barrasso Discusses the Recently Passed Inflation Reduction Act

The U.S. Senate Sunday passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a $750 billion climate, healthcare and tax bill. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) voted against the bill and said the bill is going to mean more taxes, more spending, higher prices – right in the middle of a combination of an inflation time and a time of recession.

Barrasso said the inflation crisis will only get worse with the recently passed spending bill. The senator talked about Democrats’ plan to supersize the IRS, as the bill nearly doubles the size of the agency.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) also voted against the legislation saying in a media release that she could not support legislation that raises taxes on Wyoming families and pushes Green New Deal priorities that will harm domestic energy production. The House of Representatives are expected to consider the bill this upcoming Friday.
