Miller-Meeks Statement on $740 Billion Inflation-Reduction Act

Iowa

Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks issued the following statement today after voting NO on H.R. 5376, the Inflation Reduction Act:

“Our country is facing skyrocketing inflation and our economy has been thrown into a recession. Now is not the time to pass a $740 billion spending bill, let alone one filled with partisan priorities,” said Miller-Meeks. “This legislation will add 87,000 agents to the IRS—leaving the agency with more staff than the Pentagon, State Department and CBP combined. It will also allow the federal government to control drug pricing, which will limit competition and innovation within the pharmaceutical industry and potentially even limit availability of drugs already in use. This enormous spending package is bad for Iowans, bad for patients, bad for the economy and hardworking Americans, and bad for the future of American innovation.”
