As the White House Twitter feed demonstrated again today, the Biden administration is still pushing their “several trillion dollars in spending actually costs ‘zero'” BS:
The Build Back Better Agenda costs $0. The plan will ensure the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share and won’t raise taxes on anyone making less than $400K a year. That’s a big deal. pic.twitter.com/hQnpUqwdS0

During today’s White House press conference, Fox News’ Peter Doocy tried to point out why it’s ridiculous to claim the $3.5 trillion plan costs “zero
“Let’s not dumb this down for the American people here” says Jen Psaki when challenged on her assertion that Biden’s $3.5 trillion proposal costs ZERO

Asked if Biden agenda no longer costs zero, Psaki replies: "Let's not dumb this down for the American public here."

In actuality, Psaki doesn’t want to hear any challenges to this administration’s claim that you’d have to be incredibly “dumbed down” to believe in the first place.
"Lets not dumb this down for the American people"
-Jen Psaki, who has spent weeks treating the American people like they're INCREDIBLY dumb by pretending their $3.5 trillion bill costs zero dollars

Psaki is good at telling you the plate full of crap you’re being served is actually delicious gourmet food. Nope, it’s still crap. When you raise the corporate tax rate so much higher than European rates (20%) and the world average 23%, those taxes WILL be pushed to consumers
