And the GQP package ended up costing more than 5 trillion, while the democrats’ plan might end up costing way less than 3.
Maybe you should tell the progressive caucus to stop using the 3.5 number. We will #BuildBackBetter with a $3.5 trillion investment plan that expands Medicare benefits and makes healthcare more affordable. This plan would also invest in clean energy.Do you support or oppose this investment plan?The majority of Georgia Voters do. pic.twitter.com/sDaGOQ2ep4— Rep.

Dan Pfeiffer has been talking about this One issue is the Dems frame their own bill as 3.5 trillion when really it is spread over 10 years and largely paid for IIRC
Why is this happening? Maybe one reason is that the political media act like sportswriters and treat Donald Trump just any other politician, rather than the threat to democracy itself that he proved himself to be. https://t.co/NJathjsU1x— S.V.

This: The media needs to stop acting like the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act is some incomprehensible expenditure. It’s over TEN years. The defense budget over 10 years would be well over $7 trillion.— Steve Cohen (@RepCohen) September 14, 2021 The US economy will produce 300 trillion over 10 years and the government budget will be about 40 trillion. 3.5 trillion over 10 years is not out of proportion.
Sweden spends 48% of its GPD on government costs, while the U.S. spends 35%. Meanwhile, Sweden's debt-to-GDP ratio is 40%, while the U.S. ratio is 133%. So perhaps fiscal responsibility isn't always and entirely about voting down every spending bill.

The people of Sweden have agreed to pay high taxes, yet democrats have to promise to not raise taxes on people making over 400K. Otherwise they get votted out of office. You can't have nice things when you refuse to pay for them.

The last sentence is one of the keystones of the conservative bias in the MSM. Punchbowl this morning has a pretty classic take with the debt limit. It's presented as a crisis for the Democrats. But in fact it's Republicans who are filibustering an attempt to allow the USG not to go into debt default. It's a classic thing. Bad acting for GOPs is assumed.— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) September 21, 2021

What asshole wears a headband (which matches his jacket) when on National tv? One instantly loses all journalistic credibility or any other type of credibility.
I know I've been citing Josh Marshall alot lately, but then, he's a) been on fire and b) providing a perspective that the MSM can't. The Trash Talk of the Righteous | Talking Points Memo "As so many have explained over recent years, the issue is not in most cases that the prestige DC journalists are Republicans, let alone Trumpers. It is that the default assumption is that Republicans will light fires and Democrats will put them out. That is a great boon to Republican arson and legislative terrorism because as the default assumptions they cease to be news. (Journalists have the cliche: dog bites man isn’t news; man bites dog is.) Democrats not putting out the fires is big news and something akin to the violation of a hallowed social contract." See, that's how the conservative media bias functions. Well, one way. The MSM expects the left to be constructive and mature, and they expect the right to be destructive and childish. So if Mitt Romney acts like 90% of Democratic senators act, he's a hero. The Dems are not. Anyway, read the whole thing.
