After a relentless, and ultimately successful, effort to pressure West Virginia senator Joe Manchin into backing some version of a climate bill, Democrats are hoping to pass what they’ve risibly named the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. One key holdout, Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.,), apparently has secured a handful of modifications in the bill and is ready to move forward, as of last night.
If the bill is to pass, let’s hope lawmakers see fit to at least fix a glaring hole in the legislation.
