The CBO Hit Biden’s Build Back Better With a Tidal Wave of Truth – Opinion

I have a general complaint. The names of the bills make me mad.  Why? They are dishonest. Because they are dishonest.

Consider the bill on Infrastructure. It’s really called the “The American Jobs” bill.  We were told that the bill would fix infrastructure and create a massive amount of “good paying jobs.” It will do neither. Democrats tried to sell the bill as infrastructure by telling us everything, from roads and expanding the Supreme Court, was infrastructure. By that measure Nancy Pelosi’s face is infrastructure.

The “Build Back Better” bill is now, thankfully, washed out to sea. One hopes that means forever dead but one thing I know is that for Democrats — never, never means never. CBO was rated BBB for its debt building activities. The CBO hit Biden’s signature legislation like a tidal wave. It’s driftwood now.

The Republicans should end the absurd practice of giving bills silly names if they are elected to power in 2022. A nonpartisan individual could be hired by Congress to perform the role of a Senate parlamentararian or CBO. They’d analyze the bills objectively, and then come up with suitable titles. I’m volunteering. I mean, I’m volunteering to be paid to do it.

Take the “American Jobs” bill aka the “Everything Is Infrastructure” bill — I would have named it the “NOPE” bill. NOPE isn’t an acronym, it just means “nope.” The Build Back Better bill would have been NOPE II. No? How about it’s still BBB: Biden’s Big Blunder.
