'Math is hard,' Crenshaw says after Biden claims massive Build Back Better Agenda 'costs zero dollars'

U.S. House Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Houston) recently joined other Republican lawmakers on Twitter to mock President Joe Biden's claims about his Build Back Better Agenda.

Crenshaw's tweet was one of the simpler posts by Republican lawmakers in recent days in response to Biden's Twitter claim that the massive spending bill "costs zero dollars."

"Math is hard," Crenshaw said in his Sept. 27 Twitter post in response to Biden's Twitter claim two days earlier.

Crenshaw's tweet followed Biden's own Twitter post, in which the president stated "My Build Back Better Agenda costs zero dollars."

"Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes and tax evasion for big corporations and the wealthy, we can make a once-in-a-generation investment in working America," the president continued in his tweet. "And it adds zero dollars to the national debt."

Biden's Build Back Better Agenda is part of a massive $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that also includes money climate change, family leave, education and social safety net expansion. The White House has called the agenda "an ambitious plan to create jobs, cut taxes and lower costs for working families – all paid for by making the tax code fairer and making the wealthiest and large corporations pay their fair share."

Democrat and Republican lawmakers in Washington are sharply divided – with each other and within their parties – over the spending bill, with its price tag and whether to even vote on its major points of contention.

Crenshaw is not the only lawmaker taking issue with the Biden administration over the spending bill.

The Republican House Judiciary, in its own Twitter post, called Biden's "zero dollars" claim "a lie."

Arkansas Republican U.S. Steve Womack called it "completely false."

"The largest spending spree in government history will cost 'zero dollars?'" Womack said in his Twitter post. "That defies logic and basic math. Alongside massive tax increases, it will add trillions to the debt. Peddling false narratives won’t change those facts."

Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton tweeted that Biden "is very confused."
