Ro Khanna (D-CA) said that he can\u2019t understand why some Congressional Democrats want to wait for a CBO score on the reconciliation bill and said that \u201cIf you\u2019re for Trump\u2019s vision that we should have tax cuts for the very wealthy and shaft the working class again, then don\u2019t vote for it. But don\u2019t hide behind CBO and this bureaucracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Host Jake Tapper asked, \u201cJosh Gottheimer and other members of the moderate wing of the Democratic Party said, all right, well, can we get the CBO to score this? Which is a pretty basic thing to have happen when it comes to legislation, much less legislation this big. Can you understand why they would want that?\u201d<\/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>Khanna responded, \u201cNo, I can\u2019t. Because the Joint Committee [on] Taxation has scored it. The actual deficit is the bipartisan infrastructure bill. That adds to the deficit. This actually raises revenue. And frankly, the economists working for the president are much better than many of the economists at the CBO. I mean, it\u2019s not like the CBO\u2019s analysis is that impressive. They missed some major things on the minimum wage. So, I don\u2019t really get it. It\u2019s pretty simple, Jake, do you believe we should help the working class and tax the very rich? If you\u2019re for that, then you should be for Build Back Better. If you\u2019re for Trump\u2019s vision that we should have tax cuts for the very wealthy and shaft the working class again, then don\u2019t vote for it. But don\u2019t hide behind CBO and this bureaucracy. That\u2019s not truthful. Take a position, are you for the working class or are you not for the working class?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday\u2019s broadcast of CNN\u2019s \u201cThe Lead,\u201d Rep.
