It\u2019s going to put a dent in every American\u2019s bottom line while hiring 80,000 IRS agents to make it as painful as possible. Democrats must be held accountable for single-handedly passing the Inflation Enhancement Act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) shared his concerns in a statement sent to The Daily Wire following the vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-9010669377260719125m5824515942062662722wordsection1\">\u201cThe Schumer-Manchin bill will drive up inflation and prices, hammer small businesses and American manufacturing, increase the price of gas, and sic the IRS on Americans, all while raising taxes on Americans in nearly every tax bracket including those who make less than $400,000 a year,\u201d Cruz\u2019s statement said, in part.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-9010669377260719125m5824515942062662722wordsection1\">\u201cThis bill is just Biden\u2019s Build Back Broke by another name. It\u2019s a gift to radical environmentalists and to rich, liberal elites. It uses taxpayer dollars to subsidize electric vehicles while imposing even more new taxes to raise the price of gas in the middle of out-of-control inflation and a recession,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) also blasted the \u201creckless\u201d act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI voted against this reckless tax and spending spree because it will cause more pain for North Carolinians already struggling to fill up their gas tanks and pay for their groceries and other essential goods their families need,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I voted against this reckless tax and spending spree because it will cause more pain for North Carolinians already struggling to fill up their gas tanks and pay for their groceries and other essential goods their families need.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Thom Tillis (@SenThomTillis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenThomTillis\/status\/1556362812334669824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sen.

Now, families are facing the highest level of inflation in 41 years, straining budgets to the breaking point,\u201d Blunt wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis latest round of massive spending, passed once again without a single Republican vote, will only make matters worse. The bill does nothing to lower inflation and raises taxes on middle-class families during a recession. It advances partisan priorities like supercharging the IRS and restricting domestic energy production. Democrats need to start listening to the people who are stuck paying for their failed economic policies,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Sen.
