John Harwood is the Democratic Representative from CNN and attacks Marco Rubio for labeling the Inflation Reduction Act “garbage bills” by listing every Democratic Party project addressed by the bill.
Unfortunately, any mention of the act itself was absent in his bill shilling.
Marco Rubio calls legislation that would bring biggest-ever US action to curb climate change, cut health care costs, levy minimum tax on big corporations, and crack down on wealthy tax cheats “a garbage bill” https://t.co/RyUXs3cPRZ

I’m reminded that Chris Cillizza, Harwood’s CNN colleague said that journalists don’t root for the side .
As we have discussed, the Congressional Budget Office did not get a chance even to score all of the bills. However, what they scored showed significant increases in deficit spending. It could also cost the U.S. economy 30,000 jobs. Even more importantly, Bernie Sanders acknowledges that it doesn’t affect inflation.

The Democrats are rushing through the bill and closing in on the Senate’s passage. Harwood must find this exciting. But not for most Americans, who actually worry about inflation.
