Not So Fast Nancy! CBO Says Reconciliation Bill Score ‘Will Take Longer,’ Stalling Vote
by Eric Thompson
Running up to and especially following the shellacking the Democrats took in the recent Virginia statewide elections, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have been feeling the heat trying to get something significant passed through Congress, taking the spotlight of the failing Biden agenda.
After months of internal fighting, the far-left members of the House acquiesced to the pressure too with most of them joining in passing the massive infrastructure bill on November 6th.
What did not also come up for a vote on 11/6 was the pork-filled, Marxist reconciliation bill.
Speaker Pelosi’s November 15th date to pass President Joe Biden’s social spending bill, known as Build Back Better, may have just hit a new snag.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a federal agency that provides budget and economic information to Congress, said on Tuesday that it cannot give a definitive date for when it will have a final cost estimate score of the bill.
CBO Director Phillip L. Swagel said Tuesday that the agency would release individual portions of the bill as they are completed but could not give a specific estimate for when the final report would be done.
