Krugman: Built Back Better is responsible investment in America

Of course Repugnacons are against it because it mostly helps we the people and isn't just a scheme to enrich the already rich. So Krugman sets the record straight that BBB's investments are full paid for and will provide not just for better physical infrastructure but better human and environmental infrastructure as well. Once again, truth v. lies.

"The Build Back Better legislation that passed the House last week isn’t a pure investment plan; in particular, it includes substantial health care spending that is more about helping Americans in the near term than about the future. But about two-thirds of the proposed spending is indeed investment in the sense that it should have big payoffs in the future. And if you combine Build Back Better with the already-enacted infrastructure bill, you see an agenda that is about three-fourths investment spending.

"So don’t believe politicians who are trying to portray Biden’s investment agenda as somehow irresponsible and radical. It’s highly responsible, and it’s an attempt to restore the all-American idea that government should help create a better future."
