Maher said:
“It’s interesting because I keep reading about the Build Back Better bill. They want — we can’t — we don’t have enough workers, even if we passed it tomorrow. And because all of these supply chain problems, we don’t have building supplies. So, how are we going to build back better if we have no workers and no supplies.”
He added:
“It’s a good idea, though. It’s always a good idea.”
For months, President Joe Biden has been touting his false claim that his multitrillion-dollar spending agenda, that is the Build Back Better bill and his infrastructure bill, would cost the country “zero” dollars. In an appearance in Michigan, as he gave a speech promoting both, he said:
“Best of all, the cost of these bills, in terms of adding to the deficit, is zero. Zero. Zero.”
The president repeated his widely-mocked “zero” cost talking point, even though fact checkers from the establishment media have called him out on the dubious claim.
