Democrats in the United States House of Representatives on Thursday advanced President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion domestic investment bill — despite a non-partisan arbiter’s finding that it would add to the deficit.The House voted 220-211 to approve the rule for debating the measure, clearing the way for a vote on passage later in the night. No Republicans supported the move.Earlier, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said the legislation would increase federal budget deficits by $367bn over 10 years, although it acknowledged that additional revenues could be generated through improved Internal Revenue Service tax collections.
