A new piece at Bloomberg details some of the behind-the-scenes machinations that culminated in Tuesday’s signing of the Democrats’ so-called Inflation Reduction Act.
As the authors note, one of the individuals most responsible for making the legislation law is a name that had previously been little-associated with the policy: Bill Gates.
As it turns out, the Microsoft founder was instrumental in convincing Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) to cast his vote in favor of the bill, engaging in several talks with him to assuage his fears regarding taxes, jobs, and the deficit.
Manchin said “no” to the Inflation Reduction Act for a second time in December, citing concerns that it would worsen the debt and inflation. That’s when Gates made his move, meeting with Manchin and his wife at a Washington, D.C., restaurant about West Virginians’ needs.
Reportedly, the senator was determined to preserve coal jobs in his state — which the Biden-signed bill places in jeopardy with its climate provisions. Gates told Manchin that West Virginia coal workers would be able to jump over to nuclear plants instead.
The talks initially proved fruitless, with Manchin declaring on February 1 that the legislation was “dead.”
At this, Democrats pulled out all the stops to convince their hesitant colleague. One of the big names they deployed was former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, who assured Manchin that the bill wouldn’t make taxes on the middle class go up or increase the deficit.
