The Inflation Reduction Act is fiscally responsible, fully paid for, and has been strongly endorsed by top U.S. economists across the political spectrum. Not one American family making less than $400,000 a year will see their Federal tax bill increased by this legislation, not by a penny.

It leapfrogs us ahead of nearly every other country in terms of our commitment to tackling this crisis.
