Jared Golden backs Democrats' signature domestic legislation

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : By hiking taxes on some corporations, the bill allocates $370 billion for climate and energy programs, extends premium assistance for the Affordable Care Act, allows the federal government to negotiate prescription drug prices and caps out-of-pocket medication costs for Medicare recipients at $2,000 annually.
49% : Golden called it "commonsense legislation" that is "fiscally responsible and is targeted on four key priorities: reducing the national debt and putting our country back on a fiscally responsible path, lowering the cost of prescription drugs and making health care more affordable, investing in an all-of-the-above energy strategy to significantly increase oil, gas, and renewable energy production to lower energy costs for Americans, and cracking down on the tax avoidance of billion-dollar multinational corporations."
25% : Poliquin said the Democratic bill that Golden endorsed will cause taxes to rise for working Mainers and insisted that "a moderate would not do this."
