Summary of Cost Estimate for the Build Back Better Act

"CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would result in a net increase in the deficit totaling $367 billion over the 2022-2031 period, not counting any additional revenue that may be generated by additional funding for tax enforcement."

As one comparison, "[Steven Mnuchin's] own department’s analysts now peg the 10-year cost [of the Trump administration's tax cuts] at $2.3 trillion given the administration’s assumption that tax breaks for individuals and large estates will be extended past 2025." (Politico)

The spending deficit of the US government will be $2.8 trillion in 2021. $367 billion / 10 years = 1.3% of the 2021 deficit.

I have no idea of what's in this bill or not, but the very concept of "cost" in this case seems misleading.

What's the "cost" of not investing in our nation's infrastructure?

I just looked at the Build Back Better bill for the first time. It's 2,135 pages. How many people actually read and understand such a thing before deciding whether it should be passed or not?
