How the Inflation Reduction Act benefits the middle class (with Rose Khattar‪)‬ Pitchfork Economics with Nick Hanauer

    • Government

The Inflation Reduction Act may be smaller than the original Build Back Better plan, but it still represents a huge leap forward in middle-out economic thinking. The IRA addresses out-of-control healthcare costs, it helps build a fairer tax code, and it combats the climate crisis. It’s a huge win for the Biden administration and, more importantly, for the middle class. Economist Rose Khattar breaks down the many benefits of the IRA on our first episode back from summer break.

Rose Khattar is the Associate Director of Economic Analysis at the Center for American Progress.
