Sen. Tim Scott: Democrats' spending bill really the 'Inflation Seduction Act'

Sen. Tim Scott said the Inflation Reduction Act does nothing to bring down a 41-year inflation high, as the multibillion-dollar spending package passed over the weekend.

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., laid out why he believes a $750 billion-dollar spending package won't help the economy Monday on "The Five." 

SEN. TIM SCOTT: If you have all four of those departments together, you will still have a bigger IRS and the scariest part for our viewers is there’s 87,000 new employees hunting for taxes from people making less than $200,000. It’s not the billionaires and millionaires. It is middle-income families, low-income families, and entrepreneurs who are trying to figure out how to keep their employees working and invest in their future.

DEMOCRATS' INFLATION REDUCTION ACT IS ‘ECONOMIC MALPRACTICE’: ECONOMIST

I call it the "Inflation Seduction Act." It literally has nothing to do with reducing inflation and when Bernie Sanders, Tim Scott, and Ted Cruz are all on the same side, that tells you that whatever they are selling we are not buying.
