To quote Gomer Pyle USMC, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”
The humongous spending bill awaiting Joe Manchin to sign off on it will cost almost double what the CBO said it would. Why? Because spending programs in Washington DC never get cancelled, they only grow.
The Committee For A Responsible Federal Budget estimates that the true cost of Build Back Better is $4.91 TRILLION, up from the stated $2.39 TRILLION. Once they assumed that the programs don’t sunset and get extended.
According to their analysis,
“We estimate the House Build Back Better Act includes roughly $2.4 trillion of spending and tax cuts along with roughly $2.2 trillion of offsets.However, the bill relies on a number of sunsets and expirations to keep the official cost down. If the plan’s temporary policies were made permanent, we find the cost would increase by as much as $2.5 trillion.As a result, the gross cost of the bill would more than double from $2.4 trillion to $4.9 trillion.
The Build Back Better Act relies on a number of arbitrary sunsets and expirations to lower the official cost of the bill. These include extending the American Rescue Plan’s Child Tax Credit (CTC) increase and Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) expansion for a year, setting universal pre-K and child care subsidies to expire after six years, making the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expansions available through 2025, delaying the requirement that businesses amortize research and experimentation (R&E) costs until 2026, and setting several other provisions – from targeted tax credits to school lunch programs – to expire prematurely." ”
When asked about the Center for a Responsible Budget saying the bill could be twice as expensive, Manchin replies “it’s concerning. Sure. It’s concerning.”
Surprise, surprise, surprise! And it is certainly more expensive than the estimate Biden gave: $0.

I’d prefer it ballooned to $500 Trillion. We NEED it to.
If not now, then when?
The fiat dollar will and must now collapse. It’s main purpose is to feed the nefarious deep state. It’s secondary purpose was to make our economy run. Note the ordering.
This is all expected and planned. Even to the point to having a way to recover from a collapse:
The National / Global Economic Security & Reformation Act.
NESARA (and GESARA).
IIRC, the entire federal budget reached $2T for the first time under George W. Bush.
And now we have a bill which alone costs over $5T.
Sick.
That is money that literally does not exist. It will be magically created out of thin air, and dumped into the remnants of our economy. The result will be catastrophic hyperinflation.
Most people think of inflation as rising prices. The rising prices are an effect of inflation. The inflation is the undue expansion of the currency.
Porculus Maximus.
No Republican in the House voted for this. It was strictly Dems.
we are allowing hem to kill America
Build Back Bankrupt.
The whole point is to destroy America. They have to destroy it to BBB. I do not think the new plan is what is best for the people, but the elites will do well. In the BBB plan illegal immigrants get green cards and the way they can vote. biden will also say that “citizens” can vote but so can “residents” because they add so much to our country. They know if they pass this a repub will never win another election. THAT is why they are not worried about their low approval numbers. All they have to do is get this passed.
These are the Assistant Democrats that made all of this possible.
They knew when they were voting for this Trojan horse that they were enabling this bigger worse bill.
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)
Plus these Assistant Democrats in the House: Van Drew, Katko, Bacon, YoungAK, Upton, Kinzinger, SmithNJ, Fitzpatrick, Reed, Gabarino, GonzalezOH, McKinley.
The Democrats needed GOP help and they got it.
We have to stop re-electing Assistant Democrats.
Build Biden Boondoggle
AOC can’t wait to be a 10 Star General in charge of an Army of 300,000 Nazis
Every FReeper in every state & county should be volunteering as an election monitor this coming year.
With the the funds buried within the bill’s pages, Trump doesn’t stand a chance (crooked elections from a literal army of active fraudsters at all levels).
I’ve already taken the first steps.
The BBB boondoggle needs to be KILLED. No negotiation, no whittling down the waste, killed in its entirety.
