Not obvious at all. The CBO score says 367B over 10 years, which works out to about $40B per year. Not nothing, but on a $4T budget, its negligible.It's obvious that if we pass BBB it will likely add trillions to the national debt and create additional inflation. Anyone who thinks otherwise is lying to themselves.

Remember, any bill that congress passes that has spending or tax cuts has an economic impact. That impact will produce tax revenues that will help pay for the bill. The effectiveness of a tax cut or a spending bill is measured by what the bill targets. That is where the CBO comes in: to look at the long-term economic impact of the bill. For that reason, an amateur making statements about the impact of the bill is .... well, not going to bring anthing meaningful to the conversation, but that should be obvious.
