Sen. Rick Scott & Colleagues to CBO: Inflation Impact of $1.5T Omnibus Needed Immediately

Statement

Date: March 9, 2022
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Economy and Fiscal

Today, Senator Rick Scott led his colleagues in sending a letter to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) requesting an immediate projection, cost estimate and inflationary impact statement on the massive $1.5 TRILLION government funding package that was released this morning and has yet to be scored by the CBO. Senators Cynthia Lummis, Ted Cruz, Roger Marshall, Marsha Blackburn, Mike Braun, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee and Tommy Tuberville joined Senator Scott on the letter. This request follows a letter from Senator Scott and colleagues to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer last week demanding that the Senate receive an analysis from the CBO detailing the inflationary impacts of this funding bill and have ample time to review the legislation before voting.
