Jorge What "false inflation relief" are you talking about? The Inflation Reduction Act is net positive - it more than pays for itself (saves the government money by negotiating medicare drug prices, pays down part of the deficit with taxes).This is on top of the Biden admin bringing down the deficit by $1.5 trillion in 2022 and $350 billion in 2021. There has been some new spending like the CHIPS act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, but this spread out over many years and is offset by taxes and savings in other areas. Republicans are trying to use the debt ceiling to avoid paying the bills for spending that congress already approved, because they don't have the votes (or the guts) to cut spending through the regular process - passing new laws. Regurgitating their tired talking points doesn't get us anywhere, they all fall apart when you look at the facts.
