Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) speaks at a press conference, as Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) listens at the U.S. Capitol Building on December 16, 2021 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:27 AM PT \u2013 Friday, December 17, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Top GOP members of the Senate and House Budget Committees set the record straight about the Democrats\u2019 reckless tax and spend bill. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) even went as far as to call Joe Biden\u2019s spending plan a \u201cmonster pig.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a press conference on Thursday, Graham reacted to the Biden administration\u2019s claim that the Congressional Budget Office\u2019s bill score is somehow fake. Graham noted Biden\u2019s remarks about the nonpartisan group were very different when he was vice president.<\/p>\n<p>Graham pointed out how back in 2010, Biden said \u201cthe estimates from the CBO, which is really a, as you know, the gold standard\u2026no Republican or Democrat questions it.\u201d Graham then added, \u201cI want the American people to know that this score from the CBO about the actual cost of the bill is not fake, it\u2019s real. The effect on the deficit is not fake, it\u2019s real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the CBO, Biden\u2019s bill would be almost $3 trillion more than the nearly $1.7 trillion approved in the House bill. Graham said Democrats would do anything they could to hide this from the American people because it exposes their budget gimmicks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Last Friday, the CBO came out with the full scope of Biden\u2019s BBB bill. The result? It would add over $3 trillion in new debt! Last time I checked that doesn\u2019t cost \u201czero\u201d as Washington Democrats claim.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep. Jason Smith (@RepJasonSmith) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepJasonSmith\/status\/1471139357788712966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Graham also said the Build Back Better bill \u201cnever gets better.\u201d Meanwhile, Congressman Jason Smith (R-Mo.), who is the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver on the House side we refer to it as a couple other different B\u2019s. This bill, as I said, bankrupts the economy. It\u2019s the largest spending bill in the history of the United States. It\u2019s the largest tax increase in the history of the United States. And it will add $3 trillion to the deficit\u2026clearly bankrupting the economy,\u201d stated Smith.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has claimed if the bill passes, it would rebuild a \u201cbetter America.\u201d However, Smith pointed out that most American\u2019s idea of a better America doesn\u2019t involve tax hikes and even more government intrusion.<\/p>\n<p>Smith stressed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) must revise this bill and remove all budget gimmicks. He added she has more than enough time to do this considering she hasn\u2019t even sent it to the Senate.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-mcconnell-discusses-tornado-recovery-efforts-build-back-better\/\">Sen.
