Jeremiah is joined by Ben Ritz to debate the politics and policy behind Congress's recent slew of big bills - the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the PACT Act. Will the IRA actually reduce inflation?  Did Chuck Schumer pull a fast one on Mitch McConnell? Is the CHIPS Act as good as its proponents claim it is, or as bad as its detractors say?  We discuss all this and more!
