Again, the “Inflation Reduction Act” will:
-Raise taxes on people making more than $30K per year
-Increase inflation for the next two years

Senate Democrats will vote to raise taxes this week, unless Sinema decides to stop it.

Well...not exactly.

1) Yes, taxes will be raised on all tax brackets EXCEPT those making between $10,000-$20,000 for some reason. Minimal raises in taxes for those under $100,000 per year, but raises nonetheless.

2) This is NOT the plan that Biden ran on (though I couldn't care less really because I don't mind that people need to pay more taxes, and I take it as a given that what ANY politician says on the campaign trail won't be exactly how things are...they can't control how things will be or negotiated). I do recognize that this is fodder for the right though, and I'm ok with it that it is.

3) No, the plan will not increase inflation and in fact it will not affect inflation one way or the other. So, the name of the Act is just BS, but it will not raise inflation one iota. It also will not lower inflation. Inflation has WAY too many other factors that affect it, and this little Act will do NOTHING there.

You wrote a good post and I agree with it but I pulled out one statement that is frequently expressed by nonbelievers that I would like to address. Although you specifically refer to Christians I would like to address the general belief in God by both Christians and non-Christians.

But let's start with two postulates that everyone should agree with.

(1) Whether you believe in God or not things in this world just seem absurd and not possible. At the big bang, the point of singularity where the whole universe and energy is condensed into a small point that suddenly starts to expand and the major forces of nature (electromagnetic, gravity and the nuclear) just happened to be balanced so perfectly that atoms and molecules and planets can form. That's crazy stuff. String theory, alternate universes, dark energy they are all absurd ideas. The point being even if you don't believe in God there is some absurd stuff in the world that you have to believe.

(2) No one understands the workings of this miraculous crazy world nor do any religions or people understand the workings of God. We just really don't understand any of it. Some religions might say they understand God, but no one really does.

So my point is that is that it may be crazy and not logical to believe in God and but not to believe in God requires you to believe some crazy stuff too.

Just because the mysteries of the universe are not known does not mean or imply that a God must have created it. Atheists don't (generally) have a belief. We have a disbelief that there is a God. That's it.

There is some BS report out there that says that because some corporations get taxed more then other Americans are taxed "indirectly". Don't fall for it.

The bill does not raise taxes on those making under $400,000. Period. End of story.

If you are pumping money into the economy it WILL RAISE inflation. Just like the other bill passed last year. Inflation was around 2% and when the bill passed inflation went from around 2% to its current 9%.
