the bill in his own analysis.
Otherwise, at least on this issue, he can call them out but isn't looking much better than corporate press himself.

Just go to https://www.whitehouse.gov/build-back-better/
and read.

So, yeah the press leave lazy Americans in the dark.
Worse, Americans leave themselves in the dark.

Americans need to READ, not just listen to background TV or radio while doing something else.

Why corporate owned press turn away from the BBB's highlights is one thing; that they turn away from the easy math of its affordability is even worse. Bernie's right. It's entirely paid for at the original level. It's silly not to see that $3.5 TRILLION over ten years, when Americans would have paid in $7.8 TRILLION in tax each of those ten years, makes this bill affordable TEN TIMES OVER.
