To be fair, it takes time to properly cook the books.

Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Director Phillip Swagel said Tuesday that the office will start releasing estimates of portions of House Democrats' social-spending bill this week, and that a cost estimate of the full bill will come out "as soon as practicable."
"The analysis of the bill’s many provisions is complicated, and CBO will provide a cost estimate for the entire bill as soon as practicable," Swagel said in a blog post on CBO's website.
The comments come as a small group of moderate House Democrats has sought information about the cost of the bill from CBO prior to voting on the social-spending package.

IOW, NEVER!...............................
Well, you have to pass it so you can find out what’s in it...
The CBO markup will likely be released on 6th December.It must be controlled by American Marxists.
An absolutely pathetic sick joke, isn’t it?
“We’ll tell you how much that bill they passed will bankrupt the nation real soon now.”
We are governed by absolutely evil, despicable, vile people, including the 31 R turncoats. BOTH of my own Idaho Senators are in that “Yes” Group of 31.
But Biden told us that the bill will cost nothing!
Rainbows and unicorns. Free money for all with no cost! Big Brother knows best. People who question him are haters and racists.

Absolutely… What a joke.
When I was in the Navy, they had a name for a process where people would just fill out the paperwork to fulfill an obligation. They called it: Gundecking.
It will mean absolutely nothing, it won’t have any basis in reality, it won’t have any bearing on actual costs or revenue.
This is just a giant slush fund for the left. And it’s a big one.
As soon as possible if they can find a calculator that prints out numbers in the TRILLIONS!
To be fair, it takes time to properly cook the books.
I’d like to point out that the CBO isn’t some non-partisan group. The do the bidding of whichever side calls on them.
You can rest assured that whatever numbers they put out will be low by 300% or more.
CBO would disagree, but the definition of "partisan" is stilted. We aren't elected, therefore we are not partisan.
Suffice to say that NOTHING that comes out of the federal government is unbiased. It is all advocacy, it is all misleading at best.
“...as soon as practicable...”
WTF does that even remotely mean.
LMAOGTFO!
I am reminded of General Robert E. Lee’s instruction to General AP Hill, to seize Little Round Top for the Confederacy in the early stages of the Battle of Gettysburg ... “if practicable”.
Hill decided it wasn’t.
Sounds like Biden ordered a slow walk cost analysis b/c The Biden Crime Family is not done looting the trillions, yet.
Trans Secy Gaggergeiger pointed to the Biden bill’s “Reconnecting Communities” provision — a billion dollars — that “we want to get to work right away putting to work to rid the country of racist roads.”
Geiger better act fast.
The Biden Crime Family wants the $billion working for them, too.....in offshore banks.
“We have to pass it in order to know how much it will cost...”
“We have to pass it in order to know how much it will cost...”
I’ll do it for them: “We’re Screwed!”
In other words, when the right combo of obfuscating words and the political timing is right.
