    Gimmicks in reconciliation bill cover-up over $1T in spending – US Chamber of Commerce

    Gimmicks in reconciliation bill cover-up over $1T in spending, US Chamber of Commerce says

    Reconciliation bill has sunset provisions that ‘disguise the true cost of the bill,’ chamber wrote

    The U.S. Chamber of Commerce accused the authors of the Democrat-backed reconciliation bill of using “gimmicks to cover up well over $1 trillion in spending,” and called on Congress to identify the bill’s actual “real-world impact.”

    The business group published a letter it sent to politicians in D.C. on Wednesday demanding that they consider the cost of the legislation, its inflationary impact and how the policies will impact future workforce participation.

    President Biden is expected to sign the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill on Monday during a ceremony at the White House. The bill provides funding for physical infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, water pipes, and broadband internet. Democrats are now zeroing in on the president’s even bigger $1.75 trillion packages aimed at expanding health, child, elder care, and climate change programs.

    Congress hasn’t been this narrowly split in 20 years, with a Democratic margin of just a few seats in the House and the current 50-50 split Senate.

    According to the chamber, the reconciliation bill has sunset provisions that “disguise the true cost of the bill.” These provisions essentially expire after a certain amount of time, but then could be extended. So the amount looks smaller than the actual total cost.

    The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) announced Tuesday that there is currently no set timeline for when they will have a score for the Build Back Better Act, the social spending bill Democrats are trying to pass.

    “Over the past several months, we have provided technical assistance to committees as they developed their proposals for various parts of the bill,” CBO Director Phillip Swagel stated on the agency’s website. “The analysis of the bill’s many provisions is complicated, and CBO will provide a cost estimate for the entire bill as soon as practicable.”
