President Joe Biden has admitted that the 'Inflation Reduction Act' is primarily a climate change law rather than a measure to reduce inflation. During a recent speech, Biden acknowledged that the act, which is a $369 billion bill, should have been named to reflect its true purpose. The act, which has been described as the most significant climate change legislation ever, was initially presented as a means to combat inflation. Biden's remarks have sparked criticism and accusations of misleading the public about the bill's true intent. Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote for the act, which some have likened to a scaled-down version of the Green New Deal.
