Democrats including President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with the White House press office, have been insisting all along that the multitrillion-dollar “Build Back Better” bill would in fact cost “zero”:
The cost of the Build Back Better Agenda — in terms of adding to the deficit — is zero.
It’s paid for because big corporations and the very wealthy will start paying their fair share.
