VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Steil condemned the $1.9T American Rescue Plan as a fiscally irresponsible 'Pelosi Payoff' in 2021, yet voted in 2025 for Trump's OBBB which the CBO projected would add trillions to the deficit — a dramatically larger fiscal impact — while defending it as 'unquestionably a step in the right direction.'

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure

What this view assembles
- Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
- Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
- Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
- Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).
This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
