The historic legislation would make the federal tax enforcement agency <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/policy\/dems-poised-to-make-irs-larger-than-pentagon-state-department-fbi-and-border-patrol-combined\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">larger<\/a> than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol <em>combined<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Biden has been a consequential president,&#8221; the POLITICO declared, noting that the federal government has approved nearly $3.5 trillion in new spending on his watch.\u00a0&#8220;In the long run, his first two years may be remembered as akin to LBJ when it comes to moving his agenda through Congress.&#8221; (Context: Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat who may or may not have played a role in the JFK assassination, was a virulent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/msnbc\/lyndon-johnson-civil-rights-racism-msna305591\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">racist<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Other media outlets praised the Democratic legislation for solving so-called climate change by spending lots of money. The <em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2022\/08\/07\/us\/climate-tax-deal-vote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> it &#8220;the most significant federal investment in history to counter climate change.&#8221; The <i>Washington Post\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/us-policy\/2022\/08\/07\/senate-inflation-reduction-act-climate\/?utm_campaign=wp_main&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_source=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">applauded<\/a> &#8220;the biggest burst of spending in U.S. history to tackle global warming&#8221; while reporting that Sen. Brian Schatz (D., Hawaii) &#8220;broke into tears&#8221; as it became clear the bill would pass and climate change would be solved once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called Middle-Class Audit bill, which is expected to pass the House later this week, aims to solve climate change by giving families who earn $300,000 a year a $7,500 tax credit to buy an $80,000 electric SUV. By ruthlessly enforcing the federal tax code through IRS expansion, the bill would ensure that Americans have less money to spend on gasoline, ground beef, and other harmful products that contribute to climate change. It would also authorize $10 million &#8220;to fund the activities of one or more equity commissions that will address racial equity issues with the Department of Agriculture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After approving the legislation to solve climate change, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) echoed the media coverage by praising his colleagues for &#8220;making history.&#8221; By passing the bill, Schumer argued, Democrats had ushered in &#8220;the era of affordable clean energy in America. It&#8217;s a game changer, it&#8217;s a turning point and it&#8217;s been a long time coming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That isn&#8217;t the sort of language a prominent politician would ever use to describe a piece of legislation that does anything less than permanently solve climate change. Now that the issue is off the table for good, Democratic politicians will have more time to focus on other priorities, such as abolishing the police and giving nuclear weapons to a state sponsor of terrorism.
