Jackie Calmes: GOP voters will benefit from the Inflation Reduction Act. Congressional Republicans just don't care

In a polarized America, you don't get this kind of agreement on much of anything.

Three-fourths of voters favor empowering Medicare to bargain with drug companies for lower prices, and capping older Americans' drug costs at $2,000 annually. In the same Morning Consult/Politico poll, a similar share supports reducing the federal deficit by up to $300 billion. Roughly 3 in 5 voters endorse a minimum tax rate for corporations, tax credits to promote renewable energy, and an extension of healthcare subsidies for the needy.

The Inflation Reduction Act includes all this and more. So, Republicans, what's not to like?
