A month ago, we exposed the 'gimmicks' that Democrats were using to attempt to defend their narrative that this massive social-spending 'Build Back Better' plan was "deficit-neutral."

Citing provisions to offset the spending, Biden has repeatedly claimed that the bill is "going to cost nothing."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has trotted out this argument with great confidence.

"It's not about a dollar amount," she told reporters.

"The dollar amount, as the president said, is zero. This bill will be paid for."
