Manchin Accuses White House Of Subverting The Inflation Reduction Act
Sen. Joe Manchin accused the Biden administration of not implementing the Inflation Reduction Act as intended, arguing it is “ignoring” the law’s provisions to expand fossil fuels for purely partisan purposes and undermining its ability to reduce the national debt.
“{I]nstead of implementing the law as intended, unelected ideologues, bureaucrats, and appointees seem determined to violate and subvert the law to advance a partisan agenda that ignores both energy and fiscal security,” the West Virginia Democrat wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal. [emphasis, links added]
“Specifically, they are ignoring the law’s intent to support and expand fossil energy and are redefining ’domestic energy’ to increase clean-energy spending to potentially deficit-breaking levels.
“The administration is attempting at every turn to implement the bill it wanted, not the bill Congress actually passed,” he said.
