Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has told the White House the child tax credit must include a firm work requirement and family income cap in the $60,000 range, people familiar with the matter tell Axios.
That would make it easier for the pivotal senator to support a final package, potentially higher than Manchin's previous $1.5 trillion top line. At the same time, progressives would have a hard time accepting the changes Manchin is demanding. They'd also fundamentally alter a program the

I think the commies will have a hard time with this… the whole goal is to hook as many as possible on the dole
He will fold like he always does!
Unfortunately, commies are masters of the incremental. Give them a little today, a little more tomorrow, and soon they will have everything they wanted.
The proverbial camel’s nose…
He doesn't always fold. Did you just make that up?
I pray for this bloated monstrosity of a bill to collapse under its own weight.
Imagine being so greedy 1.5 Trillion is not enough for you. With their slime Majority the Commies want it all.

These predictions started in January regarding court packing and the filibuster. We’re in October now...
Selling your soul to the Devil?
Or simply selling this country out, inevitably ManchinIdiot?
Don’t ya just love MSM propaganda?
Manchin wants to add WORK requirements in order for “the working poor” to qualify.
