Supportive of ‘Inflation’ bill

Kudos to the senators and representatives who support the Inflation Reduction Act, even if our state reps are not among them. This bill will reduce inflation by decreasing drug prices, reduce the deficit by closing tax loopholes, and reduce both methane and carbon emissions, both involved in climate change. It will also stimulate renewal energy production, promoting job growth. All of these are important to Tennesseans as we face high prices as well as cyclical drought and flooding. It is not a perfect bill but proves that negotiation can still work, even if it is within one party.
