Chuck Schumer: ‘Our Economy Is Doing So Well’ Thanks to Biden and Senate Dems

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "Our economy is doing so well and it’s in good part because of the work we in the Senate and the president did over the last summer. The Infrastructure Bill and the Chips and Science Bill, and today we are celebrating one year of the IRA, probably the most significant pieces of legislation that's been passed since the Great Society. Let’s just go over what they do. First, it’s the most significant reduction in the amount of carbon going into the atmosphere, the most significant climate legislation we have ever had, a 40% reduction by 2030, but that’s creating millions of new green jobs, whether it’s opening an electric battery factory or, as in Wisconsin, making the wind turbines. And when the parent know their kid, their son and daughter gets a job in one of these industries, they say that’s lasting a long time, that's on into the future, these are good-paying jobs. We also reduced costs. For the first time, we were able to go after pharma, we got no help from Republicans.”
