The legislation, according to all independent analysis, will increase inflation and blow out the federal deficit.

To open the event at the White House, the Biden communications team called in James Taylor to sing Fire and Rain. Fire and Rain is a song about suicide, addiction and things ending very badly. Fitting for the occasion.
