Debate on US-Iran Tensions and Domestic Policy Challenges with Ben Wikler and Alon

The other thing I'm looking forward is to a point that you made before. The Congressional Budget Office has now scored this bill that's moving through Congress. And yesterday It came out that not only does it have the multi trillion dollar impact that it's intended to, but also because it raises the deficit so much, there's another, I think, $391 billion that it'll cost because we're paying interest on this gigantic deficit. that is just starting to ripple out the country. So I'm looking forward to an even more intense wave of public outcry against this big, horrible bill and to Republican defections where they say, nope, this is too much. (18:40–18:55)

CLAIM

Asserts that the bill will have a multi-trillion dollar impact and increase the deficit by $391 billion due to interest.
