Joe Manchin Tries to Smear Lipstick on Inflation Reduction Act Pig

One year ago, we reported the sad (and angering) news that U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, a liberal Democrat from West Virginia, had betrayed his WV constituents and the entire country by secretly cutting a deal to vote for Joe Biden's New Green Deal bill repackaged under the false and misleading name of the Inflation Reduction Act (see Tragedy: Joe Manchin Caves & Agrees to Big Green Build Back Better). Among one of the (many) ways the IRA aims to destroy fossil energy is by assessing a new methane tax (see Joe Manchin’s Green New Deal Cave Slaps O&G with Big Methane Tax). The bill also hands out $7,500 to rich people as an incentive to buy electric cars. Manchin is actually celebrating the IRA this week.
