       As if Americans didn’t have enough on the inflation front to worry about—gas prices still higher than in early 2021, coupled with escalating food and energy bills to boot—price spikes have spread to other corners of the economy.

       originally contained in the $1.9 trillion “stimulus” measure Democrats passed last spring. These expanded subsidies lower what people buying insurance on the Exchanges pay out-of-pocket for coverage, and eliminate a prior income-based cap on subsidy eligibility.Democrats named the legislation they passed in August, which included the enhanced insurance subsidies and other spending measures, the Inflation Reduction Act. They were very nearly right, but off by a single word. 3/4

       As the Journal story demonstrates, the legislation won’t reduce prices and rather will lead to their acceleration. Just call it the Inflation Act instead.FJBFJBFJB4/4
