In Case You Missed It, Leora Levy: The Inflation Reduction Act Gaslights Americans
GREENWICH, CT - In case you missed it over the weekend, U.S Senate candidate Leora Levy authored an editorial calling out career politician Dick Blumenthal’s vote for the misleadingly named “Inflation Reduction Act.” Published in the Hartford Courant, Levy calls out Biden and Blumenthal for lying to the American people, telling them this behemoth tax and spend package will reduce inflation, when in reality economists warn the bill will have little to no effect on improving the economy or reducing inflation.

According to Levy, “The reality is that it is another way for Biden and Blumenthal to tax middle-class American families, to the tune of $10.6 billion in new taxes, and hire 87,000 IRS agents who will target Americans earning less than $75,000 a year and small-business owners, too. Just for perspective, the UConn football stadium holds just under 40,000 people. That sure is a lot of new IRS agents. Why?
This is what happens when you have been a politician for 37 years. You think the solution to $5 a gallon gas, empty shelves and hiring shortages is taxing Americans, but hiring agents to claw away more tax dollars in order to justify more government spending will only inject more money into an inflationary economy during a recession. This is the opposite of what the American economy and American families need to reverse the economic disaster and pain being experienced today. …
… This election is about standing up for our freedom, fighting for what we believe, improving people’s lives by bringing real change to Washington.”
Levy, a political outsider, is running for U.S. Senate to fight for Connecticut families and taxpayers. You can read the full editorial in the Hartford Courant here.
