Brian Deese Falsely Claims Build Back Better Plan Is ‘Fully Paid For’

EXCERPT:

DEESE: "Well, that extended child tax credit is still going to people. The monthly payments ended but those individuals who are eligible can actually get the remainder of their 2021 child tax credit by filing their tax returns right now. But more generally, if your concern is prices in the economy right now, which is certainly a concern for the White House and this president, then the most immediate and direct action we could take is to lower costs that families are facing, child care, health care, prescription drugs, and do that in a common sense way that’s fully paid for, doesn’t affect or put upward pressure on inflation. That’s what we’re trying to work with Congress to do and that’s what is the economic need for the country. We had about ten CEOs here yesterday running America’s largest companies, everything from General Motors to Cummins in the industrial Midwest, and they all said that providing direct support to familiar to help to get more people working and to help lower those costs would be the most effective thing for the economy right now. So this is an economic issue, an economic necessity. And if the concern is prices, that would be a direct answer to that concern."
