Pramila Jayapal claimed that President Joe Biden\u2019s latest offer of a reconciliation package costing between $1.9-2.2 trillion was \u201cnot the number we want,\u201d following a meeting between left-wing members of the House of Representatives and the president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president has consistently laid out a number that is somewhere between $1.9 and $2.2 trillion, and I think, look, it\u2019s not the number that we want. We have consistently tried to make it as high as possible,\u201d Jayapal told reporters following a Tuesday afternoon meeting at the White House. Jayapal was one of nine left-wing Democrats to meet with Biden on Tuesday afternoon. Five moderate Democrats from the House and three Senate moderates also met with Biden on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Biden had previously floated a similar number in an Oct. 1 meeting with House moderates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/biden-floats-roughly-2-trillion-price-tag-for-reconciliation-08740ed0-2db3-4ce7-8088-2a1d36644e38.html\">according<\/a> to Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar.<\/p>\n<p>House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer sided with a moderate faction of the Democratic caucus Tuesday morning when he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mkraju\/status\/1450491410289991681\">told<\/a> reporters that he believes the reconciliation package, dubbed the Build Back Better Act, should include \u201c<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">fewer things [done] better<\/span>\u201d over a longer period of time. Left-wingers and moderates have most recently clashed on whether or not the package should include a few key programs paid for over a longer period of time, or many programs paid for over a shorter period of time. <strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/12\/pelosi-budget-fewer-things-well-democrat-cuts\/\">RELATED: Pelosi Says Budget Will Do \u2018Fewer Things Well\u2019 As Dems Brace For Cuts)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>West Virginia Sen.
