President Joe Biden touts Inflation Reduction Act, highlights clean energy investment, employment during Milwaukee visit
President Joe Biden on Tuesday touted manufacturing and constructed jobs boosted by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) while visiting the renewables producer Ingeteam plant in Milwaukee.
“Instead of exporting American jobs, we’re creating American jobs and exporting American products. And we’re doing it in places like Wisconsin where factories were shut down,” Biden said, noting the city had only a third of its manufacturing jobs in the year 2000.
During his “Bidenomics” campaign, the president highlighted the Inflation Reduction Act, which poured tax credits and energy incentives into construction and was signed into law in 2022. Biden arrived before the Republican presidential primary debate slated for Aug. 23 and amid former president Donald Trump and his allies’ indictment by a grand jury for trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Biden didn’t comment on the indictment, however much of his speech was focused on the political landscape after Trump’s tenure.
The president said construction of plants for semiconductor production and research has doubled over the last two years after he signed the CHIPS and Science Act bill. The president said the U.S. economy has added 600,000 construction jobs since he took office.
