Analysts and lawmakers called President Biden out for tweeting that his Build Back Better plan "costs zero dollars," calling the claim false.

Republicans have ripped Build Back Better, a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, as a massive bill that "ultimately provides benefits to wealthy liberal elites at the expense of working-class families." Moderate Democrats, like Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., raised concerns about the reconciliation package, the latter noting the bill LACKS COST ANALYSIS by the Congressional Budget Office.

"I don’t think we can afford everything," Murphy said. "Unless something changes, I have no choice but to vote no on every subtitle (in the bill) and on final passage."

In the midst of the Democrats' infighting, Biden argued his spending bill is an "investment in working America" and will cost nothing.

"My Build Back Better Agenda costs zero dollars," Biden's account tweeted. "Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes, and tax evasion, we can make a once-in-a-generation investment in working America. And it adds zero dollars to the national debt."

Biden and his communications office were called liars, arguing that despite his pledge, the president's agenda will be costly and a burden on the middle class.

"I have to admit, I thought this was from a parody account when I first read it," Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., added in a follow-up tweet. "It was disturbing to see it was actually from our President. He thinks he can spend an unprecedented $3.5 trillion and not add a penny to the debt? THIS IS WHO IS IN CHARGE? SCARY."

"Your comms person is ‘economically illiterate,’" Erielle Davidson, senior policy analyst at The Jewish Institute for National Security of America, said.

Some urged the fact checkers to get to work, but didn't hold their breath.

Joe’s plan costs Joe 0. The rest of us, it costs everything we have...

They are just BS artists. They say stuff that they think sounds good. Nice soundbite “It costs nothing”. Who wouldn’t love that?? Of course, some people might ask “But is it true?” and the answer is “Why does that matter?”

· "The average person drives 13,500 according to the DOT. $1,080 tax just to drive your car that you paid for with income that was taxed, paid sales tax on, were taxed for licensing fees and the fuel required to drive it was taxed."-Garth Limburg "This is terrible. Is it an attempt to replace gas taxes or drive most people over to mass transit? Either way it will be a VERY unfair user tax striking the lower and middle income people the hardest." -John Farmer Actually,this per mile tax is on top of the per gallon tax

How are they to track the miles on my 1997 ford ranger?

And it adds zero dollars to the national debt.

Kewl. No real reason to alter the current debt ceiling.

Does your vehicle require an annual inspection? Odometer readings will go straight to Gropin’ Joe. You’ll get the bill. Don’t worry about it.

And what about their horror to think that corporations would just pass any taxes onto the consumer!? “Why - that’s unethical!”

But like I told my wife, these politicians can be that stupid because the people that vote for them are that stupid.

“Yeah - I’m paying more at Walmart because Walmart is all about their profit. But - I’m getting an extra $800 from the government because of Biden!”

If this monstrosity really costs zero, why are they raising raise the debt ceiling?

You will be required to have a GPS unit attached to vehicle. They will track your mileage and the type of roads used (interstate, state, county). Rates vary depending on mileage, time of day, and type of road, according to the proposed bill.

For some reason the odometer on my 96 ‘Dodge PU only registers one mile every 10 or so that I drive it. It started working funny after 400,000 miles. Don’t drive it much though as V-10 likes fuel a LOT.
