1 check for “Jason Smith”

Checked by Washington Post25 Feb 2021United StatesEconomy and jobs
Jason Smith, Member of the House (R-Mo.)

“If this package was about creating more jobs, why is it that this package spends more than 25 percent, according to the Congressional Budget Office, on items that kill millions of jobs?”

Washington Post rated this: False

Washington Post says: Smith is misinterpreting CBO studies. Only one policy, worth three percent of the cost, is estimated to result in job losses, of just 1.4 million.
