Fetterman and Ryan

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was touted less than a month ago by Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash). Jayapal noted that the IRA marks the largest ever federal investment in climate action, and puts the United States on track to cut carbon pollution by 40%, by 2030. She then added:

• it will help pay down the deficit

• it will introduce taxes on large corporations

• it will lower health care costs

• Democrats still need to hold the House, and win a couple of seats in the Senate

Thanks to John Fetterman and perhaps also to Tim Ryan, the Senate is nearly a done deal. To hang on to the House, we're going to need the mother of all GOTV efforts; but it can be done.
