Bidenflation Continues
Joe is claiming he is doing a great job fighting inflation. This is intellectually dishonest. He has only been doing a less bad job. The RATE of price increases in his last 10 months may be lower than his first 17 months, but it continues to be HIGHER with Biden than his predecessors.

Biden’s IRA a BUST
Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act
No meaningful affect on inflation (1)
No meaningful impact on climate (2)
Now we find it increases deficits $522 billion, not decrease as promise.
September 13, 2022
Biden: “Inflation Reduction Act will reduce the deficit by 300 billion.” (Though not clear where he pulled that number from because the CBO scored the law with the $238 billion deficit reduction.)
April 27, 2023
The CBO has revised their estimate based on all the changes Biden administration is sneaking into the law. Golden Sachs has done an analysis. And the Penn Wharton Budget Model has provided their analysis. The spending of the IRA is revised from $285 billion to $1.045 TRILLION, an increase of $760 billion. (3)
Net Result
Deficit increase of $522 billion NOT the $238 billion decrease promised.

Biden’s Fib Gets Bigger
I previously posted (1) that Biden‘s Inflation Reduction Act was a big lie and that it will not reduce inflation, it will hurt the economy, and it will not even help the climate.
I was wrong.
A recent analysis by Goldman Sachs (2) says that the Inflation Reduction Act will actually cost $800,000,000,000, that is 800 billion, more than Biden said it would.

Looming Fiscal Disaster
While the conclusion is that a combination of dramatic tax increases and/or dramatic spending cuts are absolutely going to happen, there is a third factor that is also almost certain: Inflation which reduces the relative value of the debt and means higher interest rates.
An analysis from economists at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School found that American fiscal policy is in "permanent imbalance as current debt plus projected future spending outstrips future tax revenue," demanding a substantial decrease in expenditures or a substantial rise in revenues.
The economists forecasted that the fiscal imbalance would equal 7% of the present value of all future gross domestic product over the next 75 years. Restoring order to the federal budget would require across-the-board cuts to programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, across-the-board increases to payroll taxes, individual taxes, and business taxes, or some combination of tax hikes and spending cuts.
