IRAs/401(k)s are Left High & Dry AGAIN.

The Inflation Reduction Act is now the law of the land.

It might be a “Big Win” for President Biden.[1]

But retirement savers could be the losers.

The act will increase spending—again. This time by nearly $800 billion. And projections say it will have zero impact on inflation.[2]

It leaves inflation free to erode retirement savings by…

  • Keeping the value of the U.S. dollar down
  • Keeping prices up
  • Reducing the buying power of money saved for decades
  • Shortening the weeks, months & years retirement funds will last

Liberal lawmakers & the administration say this will make our lives better.[3]

But most Americans have already heard the numbers don’t add up.

Not only is the law expected to expand spending and keep inflation high, it allows the government to shake down taxpayers to pay for all that spending.

The Inflation Reduction Act includes:

  • $80 billion to expand the IRS [4]
  • 60% of the $80 billion earmarked for tax enforcement[5]
  • 87,000 additional IRS employees by 2031[6]

The IRS will more than double in size[7].

And that means more tax audits – likely a lot. $200 billion worth![8]

The White House insists enforcement under the new law will target only “wealthy corporate tax cheats.”[9] But Janet Yellen (who told us inflation “won’t be a problem”) said:

Contrary to the misinformation from opponents of this legislation, small business or households earning $400,000 per year or less will not see an increase in the chances that they are audited.[10]

But the facts contradict her:

  • The act says nothing about income-limited audits.
  • Republicans submitted an amendment to protect Americans who earn less, and the Democrats voted it down.[11]
  • Congress’s own Joint Committee on Taxation says 78% and 90% of the additional $200 billion the IRS is expected to collect through the act will come from small businesses earning less than $200,000 per year![12]

So, the government is spending more, coming after Americans to pay the bill, and ignoring what the act’s own name suggests – reducing inflation!

The big question is, “How can you prepare?
