The Biden administration continues to claim that the "Build Back Better" plan will not cost us a penny, but as the CBO just pointed out, and anyone with a functioning brain not diseased with rabid partisanship already knew, that was a lie. These social programs, if implemented, will never be cancelled. Once they are due to sunset the Democratic Party will demagogue the issue and demonizing anyone who opposes extending them as not caring about the people. This is as predictable as the sun will rise and set and anyone who claims otherwise is a dishonest and dishonorable person.
At the request of multiple Republican senators, the Democrats fighting to advance President Biden’s Build Back Better plan, the gargantuan reconciliation package that creates and expands a boatload of social programs, obtained a modified budgetary effects score from the Congressional Budget Office Friday.
The office’s most recent analysis finds that if major provisions in BBB were not embedded with sunset clauses and were made permanent, which Republicans argue is the Democrats’ hidden intention, the bill would add $2.8 trillion more to the national debt over the next decade than the original CBO score projected.

The cost deficits to these two wars did not and never will provide any cost benefits.
The BBB will provide revenue in taxes by the growth of high paying employment in Technology and Construction of our rusting infrastructure, repairing and replacing transportation will all be cost benefits.
