deficit reduction, along with other elements of the bill, is likely to reduce inflationary pressures and thus reduce the risk of a possible recession.
Throughout the most recent U.S. spike in inflation in 2022, the energy category alone was responsible for around half of total inflation. And that's just counting the direct effects. Indirectly, a good portion of the food price increases ever since are also due to higher energy costs. If the farmer pays more to harvest the crop, soon those commodity prices increase as well. Of course, it isn't all fossil fuels...The IRA has not and will not cut inflation overnight. But that fight is indeed a big part of the bill's legacy: Play the long game of tackling all three types of climate-related inflation — fossilflation, climateflation, and greenflation — at their very core, and indeed justify the law's name.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, a landmark piece of legislation passed this summer, has broad implications across multiple sectors of the economy. The policy package is less robust than the Build Back Better bill President Joe Biden tried to push through Congress last year but it's still ambitious in its targeting of prescription drug prices and carbon emissions.
Reducing reliance on fossil fuels 'will significantly reduce its grip on inflation in the broader economy,' said Zandi. It's the reason why economists eventually expect the Inflation Reduction Act to live up to the bill's name.
The landmark Inflation Reduction Act that passed Friday includes $369 billion in climate- and energy-related funding — much of it aimed at high-tech solutions to help nudge the world's biggest historical emitter toward a greener future.

In the short term, the US government and investment banks will remain invested in assets that may have higher emissions. But in the medium- to long-term, the impact of the IRA is likely to be deflationary. This is because the IRA is not promoting divestments from fossil-fuel, but rather encouraging investment in clean technologies.
Arguably, the most meaningful change coming with the IRA is the ability for Medicare to negotiate drug prices starting in 2026. It will affect 10 drugs on which Medicare spent the most money during the prior year... Drug makers that refuse to negotiate could face a tax penalty.
