Biden: “The Cost Of The Build Back Better Bill In Terms Of Adding To The Deficit Is Zero, Zero, Zero. Because We’re Going To Pay For It All”

There are two big bills in play: The bipartisan infrastructure bill and the reconciliation bill, also called the Build Back Better Act.

The reconciliation bill is a work in progress, with no firm numbers on spending or offsetting revenues.

The Congressional Budget Office says the infrastructure bill will add about $250 billion to the debt. 

The Build Back Better Act could add zero to the national debt if it balances new spending with new revenues.
