Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer looked at loggerheads after their talks on a sweeping climate, tax and health care bill ran aground nearly two weeks ago. In fact, they were working on Washington’s best-kept secret.
On July 18, four days after Manchin and Schumer’s talks seemed to fizzle out with only a limited health care deal, Manchin reached out to Schumer to see if he was amenable to picking things back up. By Wednesday afternoon, they had a deal on a bill that includes energy and tax policy, a turnaround after the two deadlocked on Democrats’ marquee party-line agenda.

A trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.
If it is any comfort, we are doomed no matter what. The issue is just how soon.
Many posters here made a similar prediction about Manchin.
Politics. It’ll never pass.
Meh, not when you own the printing press…
Looks like Manchin finally decided to play his Ace card. This is what I want for cooperation. Are you ready to deal? And Schmuck finally capitulated to Manchin’s demands. Whatever that is.
Hey Joe, we won’t forget.
The only thing worse than a dim is a scorned rino incumbent. In addition to revenge and being spiteful these rinos want as much from the trough as they can get on their way out. Schumer and co know this which is why there will be flurry of bills between now and November.
Most of it will disappear in to the bureaucracies and pockets of corrupt politicians, like the TARP money.
Which is it. I’m hearing it’s 370 billion.
Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer Strike a Deal, $370 Billion for Green New Deal Energy Transition, Tax Increases to Pay for it and More IRS Agents
$700 billion for Al Gore’s climate scam.
Not one dime for Trump’s wall.
This respected man says possibly by the end of the year.

I disagree.
A trillion here and a trillio there and, pretty soon, you’re talking about Monopoly money.

Unfortunately, Manchin has got nothing to worry about. He’s up for re-election in 2024. Earlier that year, he’ll tape a few campaign ads showing him holding a deer rifle.
Boom! Six more years for Joe.
Old Joe just pretends to be a moderate.

I hope you’re right! I respect Manchin for standing up to Biden and Schumer. But I always had the feeling that Manchin was just holding out for the right price.
At heart Joe Manchin is a liberal. He votes for their side on anything that will not hurt him politically at home in conservative coal state West Virginia.
Voting green may sink Joe Manchin in the next election. He barely won his last election. I suspect Joe Manchin may not desire to run again thus his vote.
The tenacity of our benevolent communist rulers for imposing more & more tyranny is unmatched by those seeking (supposedly) to protect our Constitutional freedoms & liberties...
The communist reign (for the next 998 years) is pre-determined unless, as widely & suspiciously reported, the GOP sweeps the House and Senate in 2022…
Oh, wait..
Forgot, for a minute, that the GOP (when in control of House & Senate) has never, since Newt, undone anything tyrannical that the communists have added to our heavy chains...
The GOP & the sheeple understand their function:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
