(#4673) Waiting on the CBO score for the human infrastructure bill

      So much is riding on this score from the Congressional Budget Office for this progressive bill that will reshape our society for the next century. Yes, for the next century. It has taken all of my lifetime to get to this point and I am 2/3rds of a century old. So what is in it that has such a profound effect on how our society will become? Mainly it is the climate change policies that will turn us from the last vestiges of dirty energy that is polluting our atmosphere and creating the greenhouse effect. Simply put, the greenhouse effect is the trapping of warmth from our sun in our atmosphere causing temperatures to rise.
     This effect makes the oceans rise, gobbling up our land space, and causing unnatural extreme weather occurrences. The human infrastructure bill will start to reverse this climate phenomenon and get us back into a more livable earthly environment. However we must find a way to pass this bill and get it to Joe Biden's desk. The effect of the rest of the bill on families with children is so needed. Child care help, early schooling, a tax credit for middle class families, lower prescription medication prices, etcetera... This bill will give families the extra help they need to be more productive outside their homes. It is just as necessary that our children begin schooling at a younger age so as to keep up with the rest of the world and even lead the world in educational advancements.
     The coming CBO score will likely follow the lead of the already released report by the Committee On Taxation, a highly valued committee, that has said this bill is well more than paid for, thus lessening any anxiety about it being inflationary. On the contrary, this bill will actually lessen inflationary triggers because it will bring about more competition for goods and services, which will lower prices. So either today, or tomorrow the CBO will release their numbers on the human infrastructure bill and then the bill can get its vote in the House and move on to the Senate where it will be tweaked. Once passed in the Senate it will go back to the House for its final vote and then on to the President for it to become law.
