A local Congressman is pushing back against the President’s “Build Back Better” plan. First District Representative Bryan Steil of Janesville issued a statement regarding Novembers’ record level inflation report. Steil also points to a Congressional Budget Office report indicating the “Build Back Better” social spending bill would add $3 trillion to the deficit if the programs were made permanent. The Republican contends once a government program is created, it never goes away. He says it’s time to rip the band aid off of COVID-19 and get back to the pre-pandemic policy making that resulted in record economic growth.
