James Taylor Confounds Twitter By Playing Bleak Song at Biden’s Celebration of Inflation Reduction Act

Legendary singer James Taylor confounded Twitter users by playing the bleak song “Fire and Rain” at Tuesday’s White House event celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act.
The act, which was enacted last month by President Joe Biden, allocated $369 billion for climate and energy investments, $288 billion in drug pricing reform, $64 billion in extending Obamacare subsidies, slapped on a 15 percent minimum corporate tax and $300 billion in deficit reduction. The law will not significantly reduce inflation, according to expert analyses.
Twitter had a field day with Taylor playing at the celebration:

“Team, I just saw the CPI report. Let’s host a rally about inflation, and begin it with James Taylor singing a song about suicide.” https://t.co/nbIplHRXep

This is actually just the theme song for grocery shopping rn:
“Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus?
You’ve got to help me make a stand
You’ve just got to see me through another day
My body’s aching and my time is at hand
And I won’t make it any other way” https://t.co/E2UiVt5ncu— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) September 13, 2022
On the same day Biden celebrates the “Inflation Reduction Act,” inflation rises and the markets tank.
What a joke. https://t.co/UhelQoW33Q

My God, they really are completely clueless.
Kerry brought out James Taylor during the Obama Regime and it resulted in the most embarrassing diplomatic face-plant in US history.
So why not do a repeat? https://t.co/aKAh828lbk
