Darren Brady Nelson on Through the Looking Glass with Scott Wheeler - 29 January 2023

On today's show ... The Biden Administration has increased federal government spending by a record $3.4 trillion since January 2021. That includes such signature bills as the: American Rescue Plan Act of $1.8 trillion; Build Back Better Act of $1.7 trillion; and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of $764.9 billion. As well as providing official costings for those bills, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has found that a number of executive orders contribute nearly another $1 trillion of spending including college student debt cancellation. The end result being an additional $4.8 trillion to the net deficit. To make a bad situation worse, there has since been the Consolidated Appropriations Act omnibus of $1.7 trillion which includes, until September 2023, $772.5 billion in non-defense discretionary spending plus $858 billion in defense non-discretionary spending.
