So the current negotiating number is between 1.9 and 2.3tn dollars.

7. The numbers are bs diversion,

It's almost entirely paid for, so maybe that's the problem. Manchin and Sinema's sugar daddies don't want their taxes raised, maybe that's the problem. The number is meaningless, 3.5 trillion would not be added to the debt like Trump's tax cute for the rich continue year after year to add to the debt. It's about the return on investment. The benefits of passing Build Back Better will be overwhelming.

As a side note, for people here blaming progressives for not wanting to compromise, the Build Back Better Bill was written by president Biden, let that sink in before criticizing progressives for wanting to pass it.

I like the idea of keeping the programs and cutting back the years, make it happen.
