Ocean City - Did my fellow spouters listen to Joe at the podium? He said this about the inflation reduction act.
"I wish I hadn’t called it that. It has less to do with inflation than it does providing alternatives to economic growth,"
How does he get away with that? This isn't Fox New making stuff up, this is him saying it. He sold a false bill of goods to the people. Everyone knew it was not reducing inflation, but he kept the con game going until it passed.
