Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is sending a warning shot to President Biden and congressional leaders, saying he has "serious concerns" about spending $3.5 trillion on a massive package that Democrats want to pass later this year.

Manchin said in a statement early Wednesday that he has "serious concerns about the grave consequences ... if Congress decides to spend another $3.5 trillion."

“Given the current state of the economic recovery, it is simply irresponsible to continue spending at levels more suited to respond to a Great Depression or Great Recession — not an economy that is on the verge of overheating," Manchin said.

I’m completely confused.

Did they vote to pass the bill or to advance debate?

AP says they OK’d the bill.

Political gamesmanship. Manchin only cares about Manchin. He voted to push it forward, but for the final approval, Manchin needs more “consideration”. Cash is king.

Did he use “government” and “responsibility” in the same thought process? SMDH! Not sure why these assclowns are acting concerned. The national debt is NEVER getting paid.

Oh, just pass the damn thing. Not enough Americans care to punish you idiots for your incompetence. The sooner we go over the cliff, the better. Time to get past our death by a thousand cuts. I have zero compassion left for most Americans, so let's crater the country.

I would prefer God stepping in and rebooting the planet, but given the evil foisted on this Earth and the damage they have done and continue to do, I suspect such a reboot isn't coming soon.

I'm tired of this ...

3 trillion, on top of the 1.8 trillion relief bill. The printing presses must be running day and night printing up funny money.
