The $740B number is the amount of revenue the act will raise, and $430B is the amount that will be spent. This act will actually reduce the federal deficit by ~$300B. This tweet is misleading because it might lead readers to believe the act will print $740B dollars. https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/inflation_reduction_act_one_page_summary.pdf
