White House Build Back Better Framework, Illustrative Permanent Scenario

Summary: In order to provide additional context as part of the current reconciliation debate, PWBM has estimated a scenario where all spending and revenue provisions in the Build Back Better Framework are permanent. The table below reflects this alternative. These estimates are neither PWBM’s estimate of any current legislation nor PWBM’s estimates of the Build Back Better Framework released by the White House.

A prior version of this table mistakenly presented the 10-year cost of the ACA subsidies provision as $243B. We apologize for the error.
