Ex-Biden Econ. Official: The More Inflation Reduction Act Green Provision Cost Overruns, 'the Better' -- Asking About Cost Is 'Wrong Question'

On Wednesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "All In," former Biden White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese reacted to projected cost overruns in the Inflation Reduction Act's green provisions by stating that "people have been fundamentally asking the wrong question" when they ask how much the act will cost, and the question should be, "how much clean energy investment can these incentives actually produce in the country?" He also stated that "the only way the cost of the Inflation Reduction Act goes up is if we have significantly more investment in clean energy projects and solving climate change and creating jobs" "And so, the more that we can build clean energy infrastructure, the better."
