Credit to Joe Biden and the Inflation Reduction Act for making this possible.

If Trump wins again he's going to have a lot of work destroying all the progress Biden has made in just one term.

My satire detector is surely broken. It’s just wobbling between wtf and woosh. It’s OK, I don’t need to understand everything all the time.

Read the PR. it explicitly credits the Inflation Reduction Act for funding and making the whole thing possible.

Oh I read it. I just didn’t, ok. I wonder if I buy the company line anywhere?

im not sure what argument you're making. are you claiming the IRS' statement is just fabricating that this program has anything to do with the congressional bill it's actually proposed and funded within ?

That's not necessarily uncommon is it? It was my understanding that bills get passed with extra funding for relatively disconnected causes all the time. They may have to credit the bill under which this was passed, but that doesn't necessarily reflect positively on the rest of the bill or the government's fiscal policy in general.

>that doesn't necessarily reflect positively on the rest of the bill

so what? Biden's bill made a good thing happen, so much that HN readers gave it 859 upmods (which is a lot). I point this out mostly so that I can be amused at how infuriating it is to Hacker News readers who can't help but be hypocrites that they love certain policies but continue to rail against the kind of government that brings about such policies.
