Why Biden says his plan costs 'nothing' (and why he's right)
Rachel Maddow: What's far easier for folks in my line of work is to point at the purported price tag: $3.5 trillion. The fact that the investments would be spread out over the course of the decade is sometimes lost in the shuffle, but the topline total is a detail that often dominates the conversation, even overshadowing what the bill would do and the extent to which families would benefit.
But there's a related question that's in need of an answer: Would the plan really "cost" $3.5 trillion? According to President Joe Biden, whose domestic agenda is tied up in the legislation, the answer is no.
