Had quite the discussion on it while you were laid up...
In short, dems lied about funding all through negotiations... The original 5 trillion bill never really changed they played with the sunset provisions for each portion to make it appear they got the cost down and could fund it...
After all the smoke cleared and after the cbo report came out saying the bill as written enacted for 10 yrs would result in a 3+ trillion deficit...
Then and only then, dems stated they were going to find funding later down the road after lying for months...
Manchin was the only one negotiating in good faith...
