Today, newly corrected analysis from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation refuted the latest empty attack on the Build Back Better Act from Republicans who proudly added $2 trillion to the deficit with their GOP tax scam for the rich.  While Republicans rage against cracking down on millionaire tax cheats and finally making big corporations and the wealthiest pay their fair share of taxes, the JCT’s work affirms how the Democrats’ Build Back Better Act will dramatically cut taxes for people making less than $400,000 and increase taxes on those making more than $1 million.  

During this evening’s temper tantrum, Minority Leader McCarthy did everything he could to avoid talking about the deficit reducing, inflation crushing Build Back Better Act.  But he did make unhinged claims about what the American people “don’t want and need.”

Weeks after top economists touted the inflation-crushing initiatives of President Biden’s Build back Better legislation, top economists are weighing in to call BS on Republican lies about the legislation and inflation.

McCarthy has stayed silent as Members of his conference post murder fantasies about fellow Members of Congress and elicit death threats against Republicans who backed President Biden's landmark infrastructure bill.
