Tough crowd, tough crowd.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) was reportedly "booed" by his fellow Democrats after mentioning the budget deficit at a caucus luncheon earlier this week, according to Politico. One witness maintains that Manchin was "jokingly booed," but another reports not having seen it that way.

Manchin and Sinema. We can trust them, up to a certain point. They need to hold the line against the filibuster.
No intention of EVERY paying down debt.
Stuff as much pork into connected interests hands and hope that some of those trillions come back to the poltiicians (in campaign funds or other kickbacks).
And against the 3.5 tril ?
If both of them are against it then they cannot push that through, right?

Manchin is in the best of company. The democrats booed Almighty God Himself at their convention.
When all is said and done he will talk a good game and then vote to spend an additional 3.5 trillion. Take a bow Joe.
They want us to owe the world. So that the world owns us.
