Boyle (PA-02) voted to send landmark legislation to the President's desk. The Inflation Reduction Act lowers Pennsylvania families' costs, creates nine million good-paying jobs, combats the climate crisis, and dramatically reduces the deficit.\n\n\"The Inflation Reduction Act is an historic victory for middle-class families and for our planet: delivering the investments we need to keep down health care costs, reinvigorate American manufacturing, and drive our transition to a clean energy economy\", said Congressman Boyle. \"Importantly, this legislation is fully paid-for by closing loopholes on billionaire corporations that pay nothing in taxes. This legislation is a monumental step forward in House Democrats' fight to build a fairer, cleaner economy. We remain focused on putting People Over Politics: lowering costs, creating better-paying jobs, and building safer communities for all.\"\n\nThis legislation will bring down costs for working Pennsylvanians while building a cleaner economic future across the country, taking action to:\n\nLower prescription drug prices: empowering Medicare to negotiate the price of prescription drugs, preventing excessive price hikes and capping seniors' out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000.\n\nLower health care costs: reducing Pennsylvanian's premium costs by extending ACA subsidies for three more years, locking in average annual savings of $800 per person.\n\nLower energy costs: saving Pennsylvania families an average of $1000 per year on their energy bills.\n\nLower the deficit and help fight inflation: making an historic down payment on deficit reduction of approximately $300 billion.\n\nDeliver America's largest-ever climate investment: supporting domestic energy production, creating nine million good-paying union jobs and reducing carbon pollution by roughly 40 percent this decade.\n\nAccording to 126 leading economists \u2013 including seven Nobel Prize winners, three former chairs of the Council of Economic Advisers, two former Treasury Secretaries \u2013 the Inflation Reduction Act \"will fight inflation and lower costs for American families while setting the stage for strong, stable, and broadly-shared long-term economic growth.\"\n\nThe Inflation Reduction Act also honors Democrats' promise: no new taxes on families making $400,000 or less and no new taxes on small businesses. This legislation is fully paid-for by ensuring that large corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share:\n\nStrengthening IRS enforcement against wealthy tax cheats.\n\nClosing tax loopholes exploited by the wealthiest few.\n\nImplementing a 15 percent corporate minimum tax on billion-dollar companies and a 1 percent tax on corporate stock buybacks.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:59:24Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://boyle.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/boyle-votes-historic-inflation-reduction-act-lower-pennsylvanian-s-costs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7947678677737713, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
