Lindsey Graham and Missouri Rep. Jason Smith, the Republican ranking members on the Senate and House Budget committees, requested the updated scores out of concern that programs listed as temporary in the Build Back Better Act will be funded throughout the ten-year period assumed by the CBO in its analyses.
