As we noted with Joe Biden’s remarks earlier about his Build Back Better bill, he isn’t living in reality.
He’s trying to sell to people that the bill will cost nothing, that it’s “fully paid for.” He also argues that it wouldn’t increase the deficit, indeed, that it will even bring down the deficit.
BIDEN: “After months of tough and thoughtful negotiations, I think we have an historic—I know we have an historic economic framework…It’s fiscally responsible. You have paid it all.”

Joe Biden falsely claimed that his trillion-dollar tax and spending spree will not increase the deficit.

Who does he think he’s kidding? He isn’t even being honest about the actual cost of the bill.
Senator John Kennedy (R.-LA), for one. Kennedy had a rather colorful response to the claim that the Biden bill costs “zero dollars.” What a great exchange this is with Fox’s Harris Faulkner.

“Somebody at the White House has been smoking the devil’s lettuce….Either that or they think the American people are morons.”
Got to love Kennedy — his way with words is just wonderful. It does not seem that Kennedy is asking the question, considering the fact that there’s no logic behind it. It might make sense if they had been smoking marijuana. Unfortunately, it’s just them trying to put one over on the rest of us and we aren’t having it.
But as an example of how they can’t even lie well and keep things straight, I bring you White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain.
In real dollars it’s two times as large as the New Deal. This Congress can go from 12 years to universal education and 14 years. It makes the greatest investment ever made in climate change mitigation. That cuts the amount that families have to pay for child care by half. https://t.co/hpK95CYcxD

“It’s twice as big, in real dollars, as the New Deal was,” Klain says. “This can be the Congress that goes from 12 years of universal education to 14 years; the makes the largest investment in fighting climate change ever; that cuts what families pay for child care in half.”
I’m confused. How can it be “twice as big, in real dollars” if it’s “zero dollars?” Someone is going to have to explain it to me. But of course, how can it be “fully paid for” if it costs “zero dollars,” too? Many absurdities are going on.
Moreover, promising something is twice as big as the New Deal which hooked the government on social spending the likes of which hadn’t been seen before is not a positive. This should alarm anyone concerned about spending. And as you can see NBC political reporter Sahil Kapur note, Biden doesn’t have the political support or the support of Americans to justify that level of spending insanity. He has slim majorities at best and we can see how that’s completely hampered him so far. This is why they’ve had so much trouble getting it through even their own party. They can’t even get enough votes on board so far.
