'Let's not dumb this down': Jen Psaki clashes with Peter Doocy over cost of Dem spending plan

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki encouraged Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy not to dumb down his reporting on a spending bill that is being pushed by Democrats.

During Monday's White House briefing, Doocy suggested that Democrats have been dishonest by claiming that the overall cost of the bill would be "nothing" because it is paid for by tax hikes on corporations and wealthy individuals.

"You had been saying that it cost zero," Doocy told Psaki. "So are you now admitting that the plan does not cost zero or is it less than zero?"

"The plan costs nothing for the American people who make less than $400,000 [a year]," Psaki said. "If you think that companies that paid zero in taxes last year, 50 of the top companies should continue to pay zero in taxes, we're happy to have that debate."

Make sure of the funding before you squander the credit!

I think it's a good move on her part, win or lose. You wouldn't know it from what we see here, but you know, this is a freakin' porn site. Raising taxes on the rich - and especially on corporations - is actually very popular. If Build Back Better ultimately fails because the bought-and-paid-for Republicans (and DINOs) want to cut the 1% yet another break, I definitely want the voters to be aware of that.
