It’s time for Democrats to give up on their lie that President Biden’s Buil Back Better spending plan will cost zero dollars. Despite the fact the claim makes no sense Democrats have hoped if they can continue repeating the lie then it’ll turn to truth.
Now, The Wall Street Journal is even attacking the claim calling it the “lie of the year.”
According to The Wall Street Journal:
We’ve been telling you for months that the plan’s advertised cost of $1.75 trillion over 10 years includes multiple budget gimmicks that disguise the real cost. The Penn Wharton Budget Model has scored the 10-year cost at about $4.6 trillion, but the White House keeps claiming against all evidence that the cost is “zero.”
Now comes the Congressional Budget Office to report that the claim of zero cost is a Big Con. CBO, a political outfit beholden to Congress, can’t be so blunt. It is constrained by budget conventions imposed by Congress. But even under those conventions, CBO has said the bill would add $200 billion to the deficit over 10 years.
Take the child allowance, which Democrats say will cost only $185 billion because it ends after one year. No one believes they won’t extend it next year, and the year after that, ad infinitum. CBO says the real cost over 10 years is $1.597 trillion. Democrats also peg their earned-income tax credit expansion at a cost of $13 billion because it too ends after one year. CBO says the real cost is $135 billion over 10 years.
…
Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer reacted furiously to this news, falling back on their claims that the Build Back Better Act is “fully paid for.” Mrs. Pelosi says CBO has scored Mr. Graham’s “imaginary bill.” But her bill is the real fiscal fantasy and “fully paid for” is the lie of the year.
It’s time to give it up Biden.
Hey Joe – what part of $4 trillion don’t you understand????
Just because you whisper “it will cost nothing” doesn’t mean it will.
Old demented Joe thinks he is so cute when he whispers…that is !his demon whispering!
Dementia Joe is a loser, see joe manchin.
Let’s go Brandon
First Dems claim that the bill will be a huge benefit to middle class because of the child care payments and tax benefits. In the next breath, they claim it will cost “nothing” because those same benefits they just bragged about being so wonderful will end in a year. Which is it – will it cost trillions because the programs will continue OR will it not be that big of a “help” because the biggest benefits will expire in a year??? Can’t be both.
They can’t even keep track of their lies.
Democrats are no damn good! Get that through your heads, Americans!
What do you want from sick man(Biden). He lost to Trump big time.
Democrats destroy!
Well, THAT calls it what it is! Kudos to WSJ.
It Is all about Souls 4 satan ! DEATH Fhharty !
Watch them be taken out by the MSM…Truth hurts..
Why not impeach this freaking socialist/ communist he has lied his whole life time and continues on! I think this fool actually believes this stuff is true! Impeach him and let’s get Kamala in there so the republicans can tie her up until we can impeach her also! The whole election was a farce everyone knows it’s a fraud!
Yes, everyone knows what the Democrats did but still nothing is done to hold them accountable. I’m pretty sure nothing will ever be done too. It’s a religious/conservative battle against them. 🙏🙏🙏
Build Back Better is really Broke Back Biden.
asutue Observation ! They are Souls 4 satan Fharrty!
Slimy Joe Biden needs to change the name of his proposed bill to “Bilk Back Better”. That more accurately describes it.
EVERY time EVERYWHERE in history socialism has been implemented it has been the fast track to bankcruptcy..
The TAX SUBSUIDIZED PUBIC Skoo Commie BIRTHER !
Kollages of Corruption & souls 4 satan !
I’m just as against the lies being force fed to the American people, but was your comment supposed to make any sort of sense?
Obviously, the president thought it was free. For him, everything is free. But beyond the obvious, the president knows very little of what he speaks. He just reads the stuff and retreats.
Exactly!!!
What I really want to know is who the heck benefits from all this free stuff???
I’m NOT rich, still waiting for the freebies to reach me. Oh, never mind. I’ll just have to pay my taxes and shut up!!!
Joe needs to go asap.
Poster of the year boy for dementia
I thought letting millions of covid spreaders cross the border and endanger the lives of Americans was unthinkable, but clueless joe thought of it.
The lie of the year was the inauguration of two crooks, whose crooked democrat party, for the district of crooks, allowed them to be sworn in; the second lie was the phony set-up so-called democrat staged insurrection on the 6th. This ‘burn buildings better’ plan is the third place lie of the year.
I heard somewhere that Nanazi was actually one of the instigators of that ‘insurrection’…problem is, President Trump was later than they planned, to start his speech…and the usurpers didn’t know this and royally screwed up.
Sorry, comment is waiting approval..that won’t come.
This man is a perfect IDIOT!
It’s more like Broke Back Forever. He really needs to be gone along with hs VP. Both useless and worthless.
You know something is terribly amiss when a leftist rag like the WSJ calls a leftist plan a lie.
Beijing Biden can’t vote fraud his way out of this one…
The CBO was the gold standard for dems for two hundred years until this year, when their numbers wouldn’t support a repeat of Jimmy Carter.
Not only are a big lot of Democrats crooks, they are liars also. No wonder the country is in the condition it is in and so quickly.
Vote Not Democrat–ever.
President Trump “Promises Kept”
Pretender Biden “Plausible Deniability”
Look Folks, here is the deal. (followed by something completely stupid).
They can just replay a single tape anytime he has to speak. It’s always the same crap!!!!
