What's in the Charles Schumer-Joe Manchin "Inflation Reduction Act" - Oh Just Inflation Generating Stuff!

Major changes to the Affordable Care Act. The nation's biggest-ever climate bill. The largest tax hike on corporations in decades. And dozens of lesser-known provisions that will affect millions of Americans.

If enacted, the legislation released Wednesday night in a surprise agreement between Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., would represent one of the most consequential pieces of economic policy in recent U.S. history - though still far smaller than the $3 trillion the Biden administration initially sought.

The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that the bill would put about $385 billion into combating climate change and bolstering U.S. energy production through changes that would encourage nearly the whole economy to cut carbon emissions. 

With the planet rapidly warming, Schumer and Manchin say the bill would reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030, close to President Biden's goal of cutting U.S. emissions by at least 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.

Manchin also emphasized that it would spur American energy independence more broadly, including by encouraging natural gas, as the war in Ukraine has exposed domestic reliance on petrostates' fossil fuel production.

The bill uses two main levers: Major new incentives for private industry to produce far more renewable energy, and other incentives for households to transform their energy use and consumption. Democrats say this second set of incentives will also offer immediate consumer relief for the higher energy prices that have bedeviled the Biden administration.

  

The agreement would also raise roughly $470 billion through new tax provisions, the budget group estimates - the biggest of which will fall on the country's large corporations. 

After years of rising concern about widening wealth inequality, Democrats failed in their efforts to repeal Republicans' 2017 tax law. The new bill leaves intact most of the corporate and individual income tax cuts President Donald Trump signed into law, largely because Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., had insisted on leaving them untouched.

But it would still raise taxes significantly, and it would give the badly underfunded IRS its biggest budget increase in its history.

“This would certainly be the biggest corporate tax increase in decades," said Steve Wamhoff, a tax expert at Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a left-leaning think tank. "We've had decades of tax policy benefiting the rich, but this is really the first attempt to raise revenue in a progressive way that would begin to combat wealth and income inequality.”

On health care, Democrats campaigned in 2020 on major changes, and this deal fulfills two major pledges: Allowing Medicare to negotiate the price of prescription drugs, and making health care more affordable for millions of Americans.

It falls short on plugging one of the biggest gaps of the Affordable Care Act and other key items long sought by the party's more liberal members. Still, it amounts to the biggest changes to the health system in roughly a decade.

“This is the best development on health care for the American people in years," Sara Lonardo, a spokeswoman for Families USA, a liberal consumer health lobby, said in a statement. "It's crucial we get this deal locked down and passed as soon as possible. Once this bill is law, we will keep fighting to ensure the millions of Americans in the Medicaid coverage gap get the care they need to live their healthiest lives.”

The bill leaves out many key policy ambitions of Democrats - excluding, for instance, plans for new child care, housing, elder care and paid-leave programs. But after months of gridlock and false starts, Democrats hope this agreement will finally become law.

Meanwhile, Republicans have started warning that the measure will hurt the U.S. economy with higher taxes as fears of a recession are growing. Steve Miran, who served as a senior official in the Treasury Department under Trump and is the co-founder of the investment fund Amberwave Partners, said the plan's tax provisions would exacerbate inflation by leading to a decline in supply.

"The current policy mix has already messed up the supply side, and hiking taxes will push further in the wrong direction," Miran said. "In a world where demand outstrips supply and causes inflation, I don't think attacking supply even further is the solution you're looking for."

But Democrats from Biden on down argued that the deal was a big step forward.

"If it sticks, this will be a huge policy win for the White House and the country, addressing both the president's number-one short-run issue of inflation and the number-one long-run issue: climate change," said Jason Furman, who served as a senior economist in the Obama administration.

Here is a summary of what's in the more than 700-page bill 

---

$260 billion in clean-energy tax credits

New and extended credits will incentivize solar, wind and hydroelectric power and other sources of renewable energy. Private companies and publicly owned utilities could get tax subsidies for the production of renewable energy and for manufacturing a specific part essential to a renewable project, such as wind turbines or solar panels. The goal is to make new green energy production cheaper for utilities to build than fossil fuel plants are.

---

$80 billion in new rebates for electric vehicles, green energy at home and more

Buyers of new electric vehicles would get a $7,500 tax credit taken off the price as a rebate. That would also apply to vehicles whose manufacturers are no longer eligible for an existing EV credit, such as Tesla and General Motors. Couples who earn less than $300,000 a year or individuals who earn less than $150,000 would be eligible. A new $4,000 tax credit would also apply to purchases of used EVs. Tens of millions of people would qualify for these credits. Other consumer rebates would subsidize the installation of more-efficient heat pumps, solar panels and more.

---

$1.5 billion in rewards for cutting methane emissions

The new Methane Emissions Reduction Program would reward oil and gas companies that slash their emissions of methane and penalize those that don't. The program, crafted by Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chair Thomas Carper, D-Del., originally would have provided $775 million up front to oil and gas companies to cut their methane emissions. The current agreement doubles that money to $1.5 billion, according to a Senate Democratic aide. Methane traps far more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas.

---

$27 billion 'green bank'

The Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator, commonly referred to as a green bank, would leverage public and private funds to invest in clean-energy technologies and infrastructure. In states where green banks have already been established, public money has been used to leverage six to 20 times more dollars in private investment in clean energy.

---

Support for fossil fuel projects

To secure Manchin's vote, Democratic leadership pledged to mandate new oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Alaska, where industry groups are pushing for a major expansion in oil production. Manchin views drilling in those areas as important for the country's domestic energy independence.

Manchin also said in a statement that Biden, Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had "committed to advancing" a permitting bill that would make it easier for developers to override environmental objections when building pipelines, natural gas export facilities and other energy infrastructure. This falls outside the rules of the Senate procedure the party is using to pass the economic package, meaning Democratic leadership will have to try to secure GOP support for the permitting changes.

---

Agriculture, steel, ports and more

The bill contains numerous smaller measures aimed at specific parts of the economy with high emissions: $20 billion for agriculture subsidies to help farmers reduce emissions, $6 billion to reduce emissions in chemical, steel and cement plants, and $3 billion to reduce air pollution at ports.

---

$313 billion from a 15% corporate minimum tax

The single biggest tax hike in the plan would apply to all U.S. corporations that earn more than $1 billion per year in profits. Under current law, U.S. corporations ostensibly pay a 21% tax rate. But dozens of Fortune 500 companies pay no federal income tax at all by claiming deductions for research and development and other credits.

The plan would close off that option by subjecting large corporations to a tax on their financial statements. Corporations would still be able to claim tax credits, though, since renewable-energy groups raised concerns the minimum tax could undercut the effectiveness of the climate tax credits.

---

$124 billion from major enforcement increases at the IRS

The IRS would scale up dramatically in an attempt to close the "tax gap" - the difference between what people and corporations owe and what they actually pay. Democrats say that their plan to invest $80 billion in the IRS would more than pay for itself, in part because the tax agency's budget was cut by 20% between 2010 and 2020. Former IRS commissioner Charles Rossotti and current Treasury Department official Natasha Sarin previously estimated the IRS could raise $1.4 trillion in additional tax revenue with more funding.

While Democrats are celebrating the measure, Republicans say it represents a political vulnerability for the administration if more Americans face audits or other scrutiny from the tax collector. It remains to be seen whether all the new revenue Democrats hope to raise will come from wealthy tax cheats, as they have pledged.

---

Changing special tax treatment for private equity

The bill would also change what tax experts have characterized as a loophole primarily benefiting the private-equity industry. Under current law, investors can qualify for a lower tax rate on the accrued value of their stock holdings if they hold those assets for at least three years. The provision would extend that period of time to five years, making it harder for investors to claim a tax rate lower than the ordinary rate paid by most taxpayers on wage income. Private-equity firms benefit from the lower rates because currently much of their compensation is treated as a capital gain, not as income.

The proposal would also tighten the rules to prevent investors from gaming this holding period.

---

Lowering prescription drug prices

The deal allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time and would prevent future administrations from refusing to do so. It's a major win for Democrats, who have long pledged to lower the cost of medicines, particularly for seniors. The government would start by negotiating the price of 10 drugs and gradually scale up to 20 by 2029.

But it isn't clear how many Americans with Medicare coverage would see lower out-of-pocket costs - or how much money they could save. That depends on which drugs wind up being negotiated and how much prices drop, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

The bill also includes other policies aimed at curbing the sky-high cost of drugs. For instance, it caps seniors' drug costs under Medicare to $2,000 per year, forces drug companies to pay a rebate if they increase prices faster than the rate of inflation and provides free vaccines for seniors. The drug-pricing components are a key money saver - congressional scorekeepers estimate these policies would reduce the deficit by nearly $288 billion over a decade.

---

Extending health insurance subsidies

Last year, Democrats' pandemic aid law boosted financial help for low-income Americans with plans on the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges and extended the subsidies to middle-income earners for the first time. But the enhanced tax credits are set to expire at the end of this year, raising the specter of roughly 13 million Americans learning that their health premiums would soon increase - in some cases by hundreds of dollars per person annually - just weeks before the election.

The deal would extend the tax credits for three more years, through 2025. Lawmakers had been haggling over the timeline, hoping to ensure as long an extension as possible. Earlier this month, it appeared that Manchin favored a two-year extension, but allowing the financial help to continue through 2025 helps Democrats avoid another funding cliff before the 2024 presidential election.

USA Leadership Approval Ratings - Real News from Florida!

 Current approval ratings, if only the election was today!

Eventually the TRUTH will be revealed! Election Ballot Trafficker for Biden election. Just ONE of the many...

 Radio host John Fredericks joined Steve Bannon back in September to discuss an EXPLOSIVE development in Georgia.

According to John Fredericks, investigators have video of 240 leftist operatives he called “ballot traffickers” dumping tens of thousands of ballots into drop boxes in the middle of the night in locations across Georgia.

The leftist operatives were identified making numerous drops in the middle of the night in Georgia. They were filmed emptying their backpacks of ballots into the drop boxes in the middle of the night. Ballot harvesting is not legal in Georgia. This was criminal behavior caught on video!

True the Vote and one other organization have copies of the video and promised to release their findings.

Heather Mullins from Real Americas Voice later reported on the John Fredericks radio show that there is video that captures 240 ballot traffickers in Georgia. Each of the traffickers averaged 23-24 drops where they would empty backpacks into the ballot boxes.
This is completely illegal. No harvesting is allowed in Georgia.

President Trump Delivers Remarks

Time to stop the destruction, it helps no one.

Where is the media outrage on these deaths and shootings?

All Americans were rightly sickened by the brutal death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week, President Trump says. “My administration is fully committed that, for George and his family, justice will be served. He will not have died in vain.”
 
Four days ago, another African-American man was killed, this time gunned down while standing outside the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Oakland, California.
 
Dave Patrick Underwood isn’t a household name. His death didn’t make nearly as many headlines. But his life mattered, too, and his murder should sicken every American.
 
Underwood was a law enforcement officer in the Federal Protective Service. He and a colleague were standing guard when the gunshots came, killing Underwood and sending his fellow officer to the hospital in critical condition. Oakland’s interim police chief says the shooting was most likely an attack that deliberately targeted uniformed officers.
 
All across America, violent domestic terrorists have exploited the real hurt and pain felt by thousands of peaceful protesters. The need to save innocent lives and protect our most vulnerable communities from these criminals should be obvious to every peace-loving citizen. Yet media talking heads and opportunistic politicians would rather keep exploiting fear instead of solving the problem and restoring order. That’s unacceptable.
 
“If a city or a state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them,” President Trump said in an address last night.
 
Ending domestic terrorism shouldn’t be a partisan issue that Democrats leave to Republicans. Neither should loudly supporting the thousands of decent, brave law enforcement officers who put themselves on the line every night to keep us safe.
 
Violence against police officers is an affront to everything America stands for. Stories about the assaults against them over the past week need to be told, even if corporate media executives decide that it isn’t the “right” narrative to push:

• A Las Vegas officer is on life support after a gunshot to the head.
   
• Four police officers were shot last night during riots in St. Louis.
   
• An NYPD officer was struck by a vehicle in an apparent hit-and-run.
   
• Violent thugs beat a police officer on the streets of New York.  

 
How does any of this help our nation heal from the tragedy in Minnesota?
 
It doesn’t. No American, from any community, should ever feel unsafe on our streets—and that includes those who risk their lives to protect us. The rule of law applies to everyone, from bad cops who abuse their power to violent rioters who attack the police.
 
President Trump wants justice for all, with no exceptions. The actions he announced last night will bring order to our streets and get us closer to making sure that happens.
 
Vox chooses to lie about the President instead of shining a light on violence.

"Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is a special man, someone beloved by millions of Americans who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet," President Trump said to the broadcaster.

"Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and you inspire and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor: The Presidential Medal of Freedom," Trump said Tuesday night.

President Trump Delivers Remarks at the 47th Annual March for Life

Fantastic President, judge him by his actions.  It gets better each day!  He stands for life, and against the misguided idea that murdering unborn children is some kind of right.  Listen closely!  You will not hear this speech in the Media.

Microsoft Edge for MAC!

Microsoft has released their Edge Browser for Mac.  Not only for Mac, but also for IOS and Android.  Their marketing is a true cross platform solution.  They may actually have something there.  But for me, it will take some time for me to accept a Microsoft Browser, knowing how they attempted to kill competition years ago by bundling it with their Windows 98 OS system, and face Anti Trust charges.  That was many years ago, but not forgotten.  So bad in fact, Microsoft was cut down the middle into two.  Microsoft will need to prove their worthiness to be a true competitor against the Super speedy Chrome browser, and the Google search engine.

I do plan to give it a test run.  I am curious.  For me the Edge browser itself never really impressed me.  See for yourself!

I urge you to listen to this Speech!  If you have not heard a Trump speech, then this is the absolute must see.  Why does Trump do so well, it is because he has core beliefs in what makes America so fantastic.  We need to hear more of our political leadership speak in this manner.  What a fantastic President, we ar so fortunate to have him at this time in history!

President Trump Announces Death of ISIS Leader in US Raid “Last night, the United States brought the world’s Number One terrorist leader to justice,” President Donald J. Trump said yesterday from the East Room of the White House. “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead.” The terrorist leader’s “death represents a significant symbolic victory in the battle against the terror group and marks the end of a years-long effort to track down the elusive ISIS leader, who had been reported killed multiple times in the past,” Morgan Chalfant reports for The Hill. “Trump declared that al-Baghdadi’s death demonstrated the United States's ‘relentless pursuit of terrorist leaders and our commitment to the enduring and total defeat of ISIS and other terrorist organizations.’” Click here to read more.

On Sunday, the parents of Kayla Mueller, who was taken hostage by al-Baghdadi in 2013 and killed 18 months later, praised President Trump and the soldiers who completed this mission, Karina Bland writes in The Arizona Republic. “I still say Kayla should be here, and if Obama had been as decisive as President Trump, maybe she would have been," Marsha Mueller said.

Apple Releases Security Updates for MacOS Mojave

In this Blog I gave a roasting to Apple for pushing an update out that removed the possibility of running 32 bit apps.  However, to my surprise, Apple just released an Update to the previous OS Mojve (with Safari too).  Take a look to see the details now act is patched.

Like me, if you were not ready to ditch your 32 bit apps yet, and you decided not to upgrade, all is not lost.  As long as Apple maintains a strong security posture, and releases patches to Mojave... I m forced to give them some points!  Though they didn't indicate they would release a patch and normally go full steam ahead, dropping support for older OS systems, I must assume that they had a small change of heart for Apple fans.  I applaud this continued support, and this will allow me time to update my key apps that are 32 bit. I intend to update at some point, but app developers are driving this one for me.

To install this update, run Software Update, and choose the OTHER options.  You will get a list and ability to check the patches you want installed.

Apple still needs to communicate a little better to its customers, on their plans and update strategies, but this is a start!

Apple's Arrogant Attitude Has Created Serious Problems With MacOS Catalina

Apple wants all of its developers to use 64-bit applications. In its view this is obviously a better solution, and to push that through Apple has removed all support for 32-bit applications in Catalina. That means that countless legacy applications and previous versions of popular apps will no longer work.

What warning do you get during the installation? A nondescript dialog that pops up to say your 32-applications will not work. And if you get all the way through the installation of the OS update and find out that your key applications are 32-bit and no longer run, well, you’re out of luck.

Read more at Forbes as written by Evan Spence  What a disappointing turn of events.  Why not allow legacy 32 bit apps to function?  Many people have invested big funds to support Apple systems.  iPad is the same way.  We have some apps on an older iPad that function fine, but I am unable to move them to the new iPad.  Why?  They are my apps, none of their business what I want to run.  Overpriced hardware with limited software.  Shame!  Apple is so consumed with $$$ they ignored the duty to provide support to its core base.  Not forever, but 2-3 versions, should have been easy for such a "fantastic" set of programmers.

See more here at Times.  Apparently Micorosft Office apps for Mac are all 32 bit!

Make sure you check, I did a check on my software, and was SHOCKED that some of my favorite apps were all 32 bit.  Some of my best productivity apps, and freebie tools are all 32 bit.  BIG LOSS for me.  Maybe time to go back to Windows after 10 years of doing the Mac thing..

How to check?  Open the About This Mac under the Apple logo, then run System Report, and choose Legacy Software on left side.

Well worth watching, somewhat long, but full of facts that can be checked.  Some of the finest educational material I have ever seen.  Learn what America is up against, and perhaps how you can help push back against what we are up against.

There's a lesson from Abraham Lincoln (a Republican) that modern Republicans should heed: You have to do to them what they are doing to you if you ever want them to stop!

Corel Draw for Mac is BACK!

  After years of waiting and hoping, Corel Draw has returned to the Mac platform.  Corel Draw was the first Vector based drawing program out there, and all the other apps have followed in their footsteps.  But Corel dropped Mac support, and interest in the product has finished over the years. Corel Draw used to b easier to use than Illustrator, but Illustrator took over due to it being multi platform, and very powerful.  You can download the 15 day trial versions below.  Though the cost is pricey, you can also subscribe monthly to lessen the blow.  I would prefer to see something less than $20 per month, or $499 full purchase.  Not the best way to ease your back into the hearts and minds of Mac enthusiasts.

Apple overcharging for a monitor stand - $999.

I used to think Apple was a good company, but lately I have realized they are a GREEDY company.  They have been working in the black, meaning making huge profits for their last 10 plus years...  BUT they have not lowered prices, to alleviate the burden of purchasing inexpensive products.  Their fanboys love it, shareholder love it, Apple execs and employees love it..  Why do so many lemmings who use Apple products continue to love it?

Check out this article, where they announced a monitor stand for the great price of $999, and listen closely at the shock from the attendees.  Seems Apple is working very hard to keep this under wraps, and working to remove this evidence, by utilizing threatening copyright laws.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is Wrong About the Minimum Wage

Amazing how the money left believes that a $15 minimum wage will provide anything to anyone!  Lets not stop there, lets raise it to $50 an hour.  $100 an hour..  Come on, we want to end poverty right?  Hear the truth about large minimum wage increases and how it is devastating to employees, by causing them to lose their jobs.

AOC is an idiot!

Yalda Hakim with Sadhguru on Religion, Politics & More

Incredible talk with Sadhguru.  This is an hour long talk about the pertinent issues of life.  You may even have to watch this a few times for much of it to sink in, since it is so advanced, yet so simple, it is hard to fully digest the complexities of the human condition as seen through our mind.

https://www.youtube.com/@sadhguru

Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.
