Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., called out the Biden administration’s “political malpractice” in a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Thursday and said they were “ignoring the debt and deficit implications” of the Inflation Reduction Act.
In the op-ed, headlined, “Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act Betrayal,” Manchin argued the Biden administration is “determined to violate and subvert the law to advance a partisan agenda that ignores both energy and fiscal security.”
Manchin wrote the administration was ignoring the Inflation Reduction Act’s support for fossil energy and attempting to redefine “domestic energy” in order to increase “clean energy spending.”
“Instead of implementing the law as intended, unelected ideologues, bureaucrats and appointees seem determined to violate and subvert the law to advance a partisan agenda that ignores both energy and fiscal security,” he said.
