Bill targeting drug prices, inflation passed by Senate | USA TODAY

The Inflation Reduction Act was passed in the Senate after Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote.

RELATED: Rising inflation impacts the stock market and more. Here’s how.

The Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes record spending on clean energy initiatives, measures to reduce prescription drug prices and a tax overhaul to ensure large corporations pay income taxes. Every Democrat voted in support and every Republican against the measure.

It heads to a vote in the Democratic-controlled House, where it's likely to pass as early as Friday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called the bill a "defining legislative feat of the 21st century" and "the boldest climate package in U.S. history" on the Senate floor before the final vote. "To those of you who have lost faith that Congress can do big things, this bill is for you," he said.

  1. Despite the economic downturn,I’m so happy. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13 day’s.

    2. That her watsap 👆🏿👆🏿 Tell her I referred you,Trade with her and remember to share testimonies with others .

    3. @Charles Robert Thanks for the recommendation , I just contacted her and she attends to me nicely☺️.

    4. Count me in because I’m placing my trades with Expert Angelia,This is the kind of information that we don’t get from most Youtubers I will get in touch with her right now.

    5. Wow, can you spot the obvious bots in this entire thread? Please delete this obvious advertisement.

    1. Most people think that investing in crypto is all about holding till it rises, come on, it takes time and is a gamble on the long run, this recent dip should be a lesson to people who hold. Working with Mr Jesse made me believe that when you hold, you stand the chance of losing it all to unexpected dips. So rather than simply holding, I trade crypto under his expertise.

    2. I had a hard time trying to profit from crypto on my own until I met Expert Jesse Powell ,he’s very good and through her i got to change a couple of things now my kids attend a great school. You only have to stick with her strategies.

    3. Trading crypto with Mr Jesse Powell has gained me lots of profit and as a result I am able to buy promising coins to my other wallets for long runs. I am unperturbed with any dip in market cause I know I am still making profits with Mr Jesse Powell who still trades for me. Bless him🙏

    4. The importance of a professional mentorship of an expert should be the first step in trading.The only trader I can Vogue for is Mr Jesse Powell a certified broker with both ASIC and FINRA approved.

    5. I’ve been researching all this while for a digital asset Investment and I found bitcoin to be the most profiting of them all, I’m definitely bouncing on the opportunity, thank you so much.

  2. Why is the magnetic North Pole moving from Canada to Siberia? I’m sure paying more taxes will fix it 🤣

  3. When have price caps ever worked, let alone create a shortage, especially given only 3 companies make 95% of all insulin..2 based in France and Netherlands.. (we just price cap our only domestic company here in Indiana? )

  4. I wonder if even a single senator, reporter, or citizen has ever once read all 725 pages of this bill. Who knows what they actually passed, but I guarantee they wouldn’t pass anything they didn’t stand to directly profit from. Likely at our expense.

  5. I thought inflation wasn’t happening the last 20 months?

    Thats wat Jen psaki and the rest of my gvt overlords told me

  6. I think it’s important to notice how legislation is discussed. People who are opposed to this are just saying random things like “There goes inflation.” or “It’s not going to work”. Except it will. For example, if you are a senior, you pay no more than $2,000 for drugs each year. Explain how that’s bad. Republicans blocked a limit on how much can be charged for insulin, which some people can’t live without. It’s currently averaging $100 a month in this country. It averages less than $20 a month in our neighbors Canada and Mexico, and even lower in most of Europe. How is that good?

    1. It would be wonderful to have more available insulin at a cheaper prices. And that IS possible, but not through price controls. Imagine you’re a businesses owner. You make lamps. You have employees, a factory, you pay for shipping costs, you’re paying off equipment etc., so when you add up all the costs you discover that it costs you $30 to make each lamp. So you sell your lamps for a 2.5% profit rounds up to $31 (2.5% is standard across most businesses, including medical businesses). Now imagine the government comes along and says that you cannot charge $31 for a lamp; they say that’s too much and now you are only allowed to charge $30. Now, if you make lamps you won’t make any money. You’ll have no money to grow, no money to expand your operation to make more lamps. And, realistically, you’ll stop making so many lamps. This is generally why price controls result in scarcer goods (fewer lamps). This is the same as rationing, by the way.

  7. Because of the Republicans not letting the 35.00 cap on insulin people’s lives are still at risk if they can not get their insulin. Those deaths will be on those that struck this down. 😪

  8. As the economy crisis keep rising, one needs to have different streams of income, a well detailed diversified investment portfolio in the financial markets is needed to survive, as well as secure a profitable investment future!

    1. Yeah Mr Mark Ruben !. he is an expert trader and a certified broker too, I’ve worked with him for months now, seems he processes trade for almost everyone lol, all you have to do is to follow his guidance .

    2. I’m glad I invested with Mr Mark Ruben on a binary options, he miraculously turned my life around, his the best!! I Thank him so much for doing a great job I’m currently enjoying my payout.

    3. I am from Denver Colorado USA I connected with him and he has helped me a lot, he makes so much profit for me .he made success earlier than we thought

    4. @Jordan Peter Most people do not know that trading is the best step to growing more income. I realized this after I came across Mr Mark Ruben

  9. According to analysis by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, nearly all Americans would see increased taxes by 2023.

    The average tax rates would increase in nearly all income categories, according to its analysis, including lower income individuals such as those earning less than $10,000.

  10. As a life long VOTING Democrat. Congratulations on the BILL! NOW when can I expect my FREE SOLAR PANELS and BATTERIES.Will I get them before MIDTERMS? Will the installation be COMPLETELY FREE or what? I know as Americans we have to pay a little more since our friends in China need to make money because of all the homeless they have. I hope you don’t give my solar panels and batteries to someone else. Cut all that REBATE stuff, just tell me where to PU my Panels.

  11. Lmfao how to get out of inflation and debt. Spend more money! Lmfao I’m try that and see how it works.
