A Washington Post columnist was savaged by Twitter after downplaying a $3.5 trillion bill Sunday on Brian Stelter's "Reliable Sources" and claiming the bill would not cost because it was being "paid for." The $3.5 trillion would be spent over the course of 10 years. REP. BRADY SLAMS DEMS FOR CREATING AN ‘ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CRISIS’ WITH EXCESS SPENDINGStelter asked, "Why is that 3.5 trillion figure misleading?" It's this weird shorthand that's been used but, in fact, the bill will not cost $3.5 trillion in the sense that it will be entirely, or at least partly, paid for," she responded. And it's not even fully spending, it's not right to call it a $3.5 spending bill, because there's probably about a trillion in tax cuts in there, too.
