The IRA has nothing to do with Joe Biden. It passed because Joe Manchin decided at the last minute that he hated what China is doing with trying to monopolize stuff like solar panels and batteries.

There's a reason people jokingly refer to him as President Manchin.

If Biden is blamed for failing to get certain bills passed, it seems fair that he should get _some_ credit for the ones that are, no?

The inflation reduction act is essentially a bundle of small things, many that don't even go into effect for years.

We need permitting reform at this point to tackle climate change in any meaningful way, which unfortunately the left doesn't want to touch.

The CHIPS act has stagnated since its announcement, it comes with onerous DEI requirements on new chipmaker facilities which just compounds the shortage of skilled labor. There has been no progress on construction of announced facilities since the bill's passage.

What's this then?
