1/10. 10-part thread about the "Inflation Reduction Act," which needs 50 votes in the Senate to pass, as it will pass the House. First, Treasury Secretary Yellin's summary. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…. 2/10. Yellin is an advocate for most nations imposing a minimum business tax to stop businesses from off-shoring for tax advantages. This bill imposes a minimum 15% on reported corporate income (e.g. the income the corporation reports to shareholders).

1/5. Here is a thread about the #PACTACT because we as Americans have a short attention span, but we cannot let this be forgotten. Part 1: Veterans are camping out on the Capitol steps to bring attention to the cause. nbcnews.com/politics/congr… 2/5. Part 2. The stumbling block for @SenToomey was making spending on this act "mandatory" vs "discretionary." He fudged the truth, though. No one added new spending. Making this spending mandatory acknowledges the debt the Nation owes these veterans.
