Even if you buy that this will be paid for (it won’t) all of the spending is front loaded. It will increase the deficit by $800B over the first 5 yrs before recouping some of the costs later.
This means it will make inflation – which hit a 30 yr high in October – worse.

We know Biden was lying when he said this bill “costs zero dollars.”
The Biden admin is now attacking the non-partisan CBO after it found the tax enforcement provisions in the bill will raise a massive $280 billion LESS than the admin claimed.
This radical bill would grant MASS AMNESTY to illegal immigrants in the middle of a border crisis.
Specifically, it would:
-Grant parole to illegals in the country
-Give illegals driver’s licenses and work permits
-Make illegals eligible for certain government programs
5/x
These provisions would exacerbate the already unmanageable #BidenBorderCrisis:
-In FY 2021, @CBP reported a record 1.7 MILLION southern border encounters
-11,200 lbs of deadly fentanyl has poured over our border in FY 2021
This thing also contains a whopping $555 billion for “climate.”
These programs will destroy the grid and increase U.S. reliance on our enemies.
Exhibit A: Unreliable wind and solar electricity producers get billions in direct tax credits just to PRODUCE electricity.
7/x
Dems are also exploiting climate hysteria to bail out to corrupt unions.
On top of the massive tax breaks electric vehicles ALREADY receive, this would provide ANOTHER $4,500 to cars made by union labor.
This is an affront to taxpayers AND the right to work.
8/x
Oil and natural gas prices are skyrocketing, but Democrats STILL plan to tax American energy.
This bill reimposes a tax on EVERY BARREL OF CRUDE OIL.
It also fines oil and gas producers for methane emissions.
This will drive up gas and home heating costs even further.
9/x
And, of course, leave it to leftists to find a way to tie climate to radical gender ideology…
Check out this $85 million program that teaches healthcare workers climate change counseling for “pregnant, lactating, and postpartum individuals.”
Or, in the real world, “moms”
10/x
Speaking of healthcare workers, here’s a $50 million program to indoctrinate them with critical race theory under the guise of “antidiscrimination and bias training.”
When will Democrats learn?
11/x
The bill would also destroy healthcare freedom with things like a massive expansion of Obamacare.
Democrats’ plans are another massive step toward government-run healthcare.
Dems will funnel hundreds of billions into programs that increase dependency on the gov’t – ranging from federal housing programs, to welfare tax credits, to gov’t-run childcare.
Worse still – these programs actually penalize marriage and work.
Of course, they also found a way to help wealthy individuals funnel cash to woke universities like Cal Berkeley with a tax credit for donations to public universities…
The provisions outlined above are just SOME of the outrageous things in this bill.
There are PLENTY more, like:
-$2.5 billion for “tree equity” (whatever that is)
-$200 million for “Native American language teachers and educators”
-$1 billion for “Pacific salmon”
24/x
BOTTOM LINE: It’s clear that Dem's plan to "Build Back Better" is completely unredeemable.
That’s why Rep. Roy introduced an amendment to strike every last word from the bill.

Clinton-appointed, senior D.C. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly is weaponizing the judicial process.
Kollar-Kotelly has a long record of abusing her power to advance a radical progressive Democrat agenda.
Here are the WORST instances of partisan justice.🧵
Just last week, Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Paulette Harlow, a 75-year-old grandmother, to 2 YEARS in prison for PRAYING at an abortion clinic.
Kollar-Kotelly said she hopes Harlow will “make an effort to remain alive” because that is a “tenet of [Harlow’s] religion.”
After being appointed to serve on the FISA Court, Kollar-Kotelly issued a court order allowing the NSA broad authority to resume domestic internet and email metadata collection in July 2004 — leaving American’s data vulnerable to the government spying on them.
The United States is the organization’s LARGEST contributor and provide a WHOPPING 22% of the UN Budget
Let’s take a look at what US taxpayer dollars to the UN are promoting⤵️🧵
While Israel is defending the sovereignty of their nation UN Secretary General BLAMED Israel for Hamas’ terrorist attack saying, “Hamas attacks did not happen in a vacuum, the Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation"
Biden is LYING about @HouseGOP’s responsible debt ceiling plan
Why?
Because he doesn’t want Americans to know the truth that HIS rampant spending is fueling the inflation and policies that are ACTUALLY hurting our veterans
THREAD
What Biden isn’t telling you is that HIS OWN Office of Management of Budget suggested cutting the VA by 22%
Just look at this letter the VA sent Democrat appropriators
Meanwhile, House Republicans have NEVER said this
Meanwhile 80% of disabled veterans said inflation brought on by President Biden’s reckless spending created financial hardship for their families last year
2/3s said they “couldn’t make ends meet at some point in the past 12 months”
