Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told reporters on Friday that the true cost of President Biden\u2019s $1.9 trillion reconciliation package is far more costly and debt-ridden than previously disclosed by the&nbsp;Congressional Budget Office (CBO).<\/p>\n<p>Upon request from Graham, the CBO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbo.gov\/publication\/57673\">issued<\/a> a report Friday that revealed the reconciliation package would increase the deficit by $3 trillion over a ten-year period and cost $4.9 trillion in scope. The CBO\u2019s original scoring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbo.gov\/publication\/57673\">claimed<\/a> the deficit would only increase $0.2 trillion over ten years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The difference in the numbers reflects provisions that Graham believes would never sunset as the years pass because Democrats will never allow the programs to lapse. Among the 17 items that increase the deficit and bill\u2019s cost are child tax credits, child care provisions, SALT deduction, and health insurance subsidies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.2258064516129\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBuild Back Better is a spending orgy,\u201d says Republican Sen.
