Ex-“Squad” Reps. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman claimed that Democrats had originally wanted to pass $10 trillion in spending as part of former President Joe Biden’s doomed Build Back Better (BBB) Act.
“We were at 10 [trillion] and then it went down to 6 and down to 3 and down to 1.7, I believe,” Bush said on the “Bowman and Bush” podcast on March 14.
The two were reflecting on the collapse of Biden’s ambitious Build Back Better Act, which called for hundreds of billions of dollars of investments in “social infrastructure” programs such as universal child care, an expansion of the child tax credit, climate change initiatives, and low-cost housing.
“We wanted to make sure that the climate investment was there because many of the groups were saying this isn’t enough on climate … so I was getting attacked for not asking for more,” Bush said.

“universal child care” so we are caring for extraterrestrial children? /s
$10T over 10 years ($1T/year) is at least feasible.
Ask for the impossible, settle for the unreasonable.
They and their cronies would have been rich beyond their wildest dreams.
No more parents.
You think so do ya?!
Lunatics on the Loose.
They were talking about YEARLY...
Q: NPR is about 120 employees....why do you need federal funding?
And in less than 60 days Trump already has trillions of dollars in new investment lined up from private enterprise - accomplished by promising fewer regulations, lower taxes, and tariffs on imports. This should really kill the socialist big government idiocy forever. But they will keep fighting for more control over, well, everything.
Well, then that's about as stupid as California considering close to a Trillion Dollars worth of Reparations when they have an annual budget of $300 billion.
Considering the amount of inflationary damage the $1.7 trillion in spending caused, just imagine what $10 trillion would have done. You better be able to keep your gas furnace with the chimney on it because you will be able to retrofit it to burn money for heat.
Its worse than you think. This was NEW spending on top on what they were already spending...
Cheapskates! Why not $20 trillion?

Yeah, I assumed that the $10T was in addition to our regular annual budget.
All done in the name of reparations! In the meantime, this urban black culture is destroying civilization. Many blacks just want what anyone wants, a chance without consideration of exterior characteristics. Our ancestors are responsible for their mistakes. We have our own shortcomings to deal with.
I’m guessing 10 years. That’s how they usually do these spending projections. I’m not sure where that extra trillion would come from, though. We already dig ourselves further into the hole by 2 trillion each year.
Jon Stewart is visibly exasperated hearing about arduous process to get Build Back Better government grants
