    The nice thing about the IRA is that in both interpretations your retirement is probably in danger. Watch this section in a few years, especially as the cost of the IRA continues to balloon[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation_Reduction_Act#Economic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation_Reduction_Act#Econom... --- [1] https://www.crfb.org/blogs/ira-energy-provisions-could-cost-two-thirds-more-originally-estimated https://www.crfb.org/blogs/ira-energy-provisions-could-cost-...

      Care putting those numbers into perspective with say, the amount of money the government has poured into the housing bubble over the past twenty years? A quick search says the current balance sheets of Fannie and Freddie are $5T. Money, especially fiat money that is conjured on a whim, is an abstraction and I'd say it's much better to have it directed to strategic purposes than squandered as aimless handouts to asset holders.

  Most of the headlines I remember from my childhood were about the IRA. I'm glad the other meaning is being forgotten.
