good things that progressives especially fight for but nearly $2 trillion less than the original framework proposed by senator bernie sanders who championed this bill from the start. it is not just manchin and sinema with concerns with the bill. bernie sanders has problems with medicaid expansion. there s money only for hearing in the bill. he wants vision and dental and said it s a red line for him and problems with the tax revenue. the cbo estimated that this bill will add over $360 billion to the deficit. something that s not going to fly with the moderates and something called the salt tax which benefits mostly blue states like new jersey and new york but the way it is structured it ends tax breaks to
schumer hopes it will before christmas. by way, house moderates are sticking to that salt tax that s in the bill. house moderates are really unhappy if that s out of the bill but bernie sanderss doesn t like the cap right now because it gives millionaires tax cuts. it s this cobweb where one thing affects the others. is the president realist some of his priorities will be on the chopping block? yeah, he is and to use even more sports metaphors this is now a state of the legislation where ping-pongs back and forth between the house and the senate as things get added, things get taken away but when you heard from the president on monday at that bill signing celebration, really, not just the ceremony, you heard the president really be frank and candid in talking about the fact that, yes, this process has been messy but ultimately this is the way the democracy works.
we have made our statement today. we have stood the test of the parliamentarian s privilege scrub. we are celebrating that. we are sending it over to the senate and we are ready to debate for our bill and have a big success. my colleagues, anyone want to say anything about any of these things? i ll just say this. you know, there s nothing unusual about the house working its will and the senate working its. that s why we have conferences. and i think that just because we have done something let s take, for instance, the s.a.l.t. tax. there are several senators that said they ve got a version that they feel good about. i have not seen that version.
talk about this bill. they want to focus on the other aspects of it, including the fact that it is the biggest expansion to the social safety net in several decades, the biggest ever effort to combat climate change. they believe the orther parts o it, what is known as the salt tax, it is inevitable. they say in order to get the moderate democrats on board, you have to also have components like that. sao that is the way the white house is viewing it. they are hopeful to get this passed, actually have this notch on their belt today as you are going to see from president biden later today, when he does that thanksgiving tradition of pardoning those turkeys. he s also likely to talk about this because they had a statement ready to go last night, that statement was delayed by the speech given by kevin mccarthy. you talked to democrats in new york and new jersey, they re not going to vote for this without the salt tax raising the caps. thank you very much. well, the numbers, new analysis
