Most recent they passed the Inflation Reduction Act in '21, which gets me 30%* off my solar panels among a bunch of good moves for the country re: medication costs and the world re: global warming, and was voted against by every Republican.

Because of the level of polarization we have today, Republicans that vote with Dems worry about being primaried out of their seat, so the Republicans are against everything the Dems do anyway. It's impossible not to be defined by the phrase "not that guy" when "that guy" does the opposite of what you do on purpose.

Edit: bump from 20-> 30% Thanks Dempf!

It should be 30% thru 2032.
