Biden said in StatementToday, Senate Democrats supported American families in advocating special interests by voting to lower the cost of prescription drugs, health insurance and daily energy costs and reduce the deficit, while at the same time making the richest companies finally pay their fair share.
“I ran for president and promised to make the government work for working families again, and that is exactly what this law does,” he added.

He explained that this law is aimed at fighting inflation by reducing the deficit and reducing spending for ordinary families.
He also said it was also the largest investment in the existential crisis of climate change to tackle the climate crisis, increase our energy security, create jobs in solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles, and reduce energy consumption. household spending hundreds of dollars a year.
He said the House of Representatives should approve the plan as soon as possible, stressing that he was looking forward to signing the text that would become law.
The House of Representatives approved Biden’s massive climate and health plan, giving the White House a major midterm victory less than 100 days before a pivotal election.
