Psaki says Biden’s trillions will be paid for, but Pelosi disagrees . . .

Even if they pretend to pay for the $3.5 trillion spending bonanza President Biden and the Democrats want, it will be budget trickery. Maybe Pelosi is being more honest in that she is not even pretending to pay for it. According to Fox News:
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki contradicted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s assessment of how much of the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package will add to the debt, saying the entire package “is going to be paid for.” But those comments seemingly contradicted Pelosi, who said earlier Wednesday that “maybe” all of the package could be paid for without adding to the debt. “We will pay for more than half maybe all of the legislation,” Pelosi said. “We will be taking some responsibility to pay for what is in there so the cost for the future will be much lower than any 3.5.”..
