    Sigh you hit the nail on the head! The subsidies ARE UNCAPPED FOR 10 YEARS! that's why the bill is such a big ****ing deal! Previous subsidies were CAPPED which didn't allow manufacturers to start building and onshoring their supply chain cuz there wasn't enough upside ! All the housing subsidies and appliances and etc are all uncapped! Home builders are flooding the market with green appliances now to qualify for $$$

    iRA will single handily change the way America does business and people just don't get it

    People in America literally have no freaking idea how revolutionary the IRA is. It's the single most largest industrial policy the usa has ever taken in a century



    People have no idea how much **** is happening on the federal level. It's amazing how clueless American are even 99% of folks on these boards don't know what's happening. The uncapped subsidies is creating a onshoring boom that we could only pray for!

    @Os Trigonum good article. We're tackling climate change in ways that it should be addressed. Thanks for the article !

    Give me a break. If you hadn't left any vehicles/weapons and taliban overtook the government then Republicans would've blamed biden for not arming the Afghan government sufficiently. You people are disingenuous losers. Afghan was a lose lose no matter what.

    Afghan withdrawal was the greatest biden will ever have done. Neocons like Adam can take a hike. They were responsible for blowing 300 million dollars a day on a fake government

    You don't know who Adam is? He's literally the biggest neocon in the world. He advocated for a no fly zone AKA WORLD WAR 3. These deranged neocons like Adam are the problem.

    We spent over 100b on training the Afghani army. The question we need to ask ourselves is who the hell did the training ? What did we spent 100b on?!

    Why hasnt the pentagon been audited ?!

    Afghan Army - Wikipedia
    Looks like it was the British, US Army Special Forces, the French, and the Afghan National Army.

    Negative. Who did the training were mostly "paid contractors" who siphoned away hundreds of millions for themselves. Did you forget about the contractors that were billing the pentagon for fake meals?

    https://www.wired.com/2012/05/food-scandal/

    Almost a BILLION dollars in fake meals. Imagine the money these scumbags were charging on "training" the Afghan army. Afghan was nothing but a money pit for independent contractors to loot American taxpayers. The Afghanis can handle their own ****. We need to stay the **** out of middle east. Focus on China.

    Folks like Adam are nothing but neocons who corrupted the system. Just because he's right about Trump doesn't make him noble or good. He's a scumbag.

    Anyone who hasn't watched this documentary about Obama failed surge has no idea how bad the problems were

    It's funny how you magically forget he was doing a small business event at the WH where the speaker before him was talking about it. He came down to speak becuse he had a planned event. Are all right wingers as gullible as you? Literally you folks get your news from Instagram like it's Bible. No wonder so many of you end up being like @Commodore and @Space Ghost

    You have folks in this section who think putin will revert back to old boundaries the minute trump wins the election and the other person thinks the entire war is a fake cgi plot. This website has made realize alot of things about you right wingers.

    the Deep State and weaponization of the federal government is a very real thing

    there are better ways to collect tax revenue, but the IRS enables mass financial surveillance and targeting of political enemies (through targeted audits or leaking of a target's tax info)

    Hahahhahahaha Taibbi got caught not reporting income and now wants to cry about weaponizartion. I love seeing people cry when they commit crimes. Not reporting income is tax fraud. There's no weaponization when the government enforces the law.

    He got exposed for being a bootlicker and reported whatever was given to him. He never questioned any of the documents given to him and was exposed for it.

    yeah, total coincidence an IRS agent shows up at his house the same day of his testimony to Congress. The IRS makes house calls all the time doncha know.

    Being an independent reporter is damn difficult. I'll give them a few benefits of the doubt as their risk premium is way higher without a corporate shield to cover or de-narrate mistakes.

    Same taibi who was being investigated by the FTC for helping to twitter breach their consent decree? Shocking news. You break a consent decree and the government comes after you. It's so funny how the rich have convinced the utter poor like yourself and @tinman to fight for them while their committing crimes.

    Matt Taibbi should've known twitter had a concent decree for violating user data before. It's 100% the government responsibility to ensure prexisiting decree get held up.

    Difficult? Musk gave him a bunch of documents and he posted it without vetting it or asking questions and now he's upset he might have done something illegal? How about don't be a puppet for billionaires?

    Twitter violated user data in the past and has been under a ftc privacy decree. It's all public information. Taibbi should get his head out of his ass nd do some real research

    Freedom of the press.

    Also, what does a consent decree dispute have to do with the IRS?


    Taibbi lived in Russia and wrote some scathing pieces on Putin when it was very dangerous for him to do so. Characterizing him as some hack is ridiculous.

    there was a time I would happily provide you with evidence to prove you wrong but I've promised myself to quit doing that. There's nothing in this world that can convince you right wingers to see the light. After the stuff @Space Ghost posted in the ukraine thread I've realized how useless talking is.

    Joey B is proof that we have a demented clown in the WhiteHouse. A well president with all of his faculties will not behave like this.
