He has pushed back against passing such an expensive bill in the context of the nation\u2019s inflation and uncertainty about the future.The White House has repeatedly made the claim that the spending bill would cost nothing to the American people, a line of thinking that has been met with mockery.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
