Saturday, President Biden stirred controversy by claiming his “build back better” agenda cost “zero dollars.”
“My Build Back Better Agenda costs zero dollars, Biden wrote. “Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes, and tax evasion for big corporations and the wealthy, we can make a once-in-a-generation investment in working America. And it adds zero dollars to the national debt.
