#InflationReductionAct
Landmark climate and healthcare legislation passed by narrow Democratic majority.
Origin & Impact
After year of negotiations, Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022 - the largest climate investment in US history ($369B), plus Medicare drug price negotiation and corporate tax provisions. Passed through reconciliation with Kamala Harris’s tie-breaking vote.
The hashtag celebrated rare Democratic legislative win, though critics questioned whether it would reduce inflation. The bill represented Biden’s salvaged Build Back Better agenda and demonstrated Democrats could govern. Its climate provisions marked turning point in US climate policy.
