They said the bill\u2019s business taxes would hurt job creation and force prices skyward, making it harder for people to cope with the nation\u2019s worst inflation since the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats have already robbed American families once through inflation, and now their solution is to rob American families a second time,\u201d Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Spending and tax increases in the legislation would eliminate jobs while having an insignificant impact on inflation and climate change, the Kentucky Republican leader said.<\/p>\n<p>Starting on Saturday night, the Senate began its so-called \u201cvote-a-rama\u201d that comes before the\u00a0final passage in the Senate\u2019s budget reconciliation process. Democrats are using the process to pass the bill along party lines so as to avoid the 60-vote filibuster, and throughout the night, Vice President Kamala Harris served as a tie-breaker for Democrats on several amendments in the 50\u201350 Senate.<\/p>\n<p> More Details <\/p>\n<p>The bill came to the floor about a week after Sen.
