Senator Joe Manchin Stands Firm on Inflation Reduction Act
Senator Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., has received criticism from Republicans over his stance on the Inflation Reduction Act. In an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal, Manchin called out the Biden administration for ignoring the debt and deficit implications of the act.
The senator has defended his position, arguing that the administration should adhere to the intent and how the bill was written. He has called on President Biden to implement the act as it was written and to negotiate serious reforms to the federal budget.
However, some on the right have criticized Manchin’s position, saying that he enabled the administration with the bill. But Manchin maintains that those who criticize him have not read the bill.
The Inflation Reduction Act, signed in August 2022, aims to address the issue of inflation in the United States.
