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.
That was a different bill. The infrastructure bill.
Manchin is just holding out for money, bet on it, they will meet his price.
Come on Man, we already ordered the Ink and we are in desperate need of that bribe and kickback money
The Rats stole three Senate seats last year.Were it not for that we wouldn’t have this problem.
Manchin just playing “public relations” and trying to manage his image with everyone.
And yet the DUPLICITOUS, CORRUPT LIAR votes to advance it.
“Manchin 2024. At least he ain’t demented.”
LOL - Manchin - LOL
“ That was a different bill. The infrastructure bill.”
*********************************************
Last night this A-HOLE voted for the “framework” of the 3.5 trillion bill. HE LIES EVERY TIME he opens his mouth.
“Didn’t this idiot vote for it yesterday and now he bitches about it?”
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.
they gave his wife a JOB I seem to recall in the last bill
Maybe he is waiting to see what he can get out of this one !
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.
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 ...
serious concerns eh? that’s convincing.
That’s his goal !
Whether tHe Rats can nominate a 70-ish white guy is another thing altogether !
Didn’t this already pass both chambers of congress and just needs Sleepy Joe’s signature?
3 trillion, on top of the 1.8 trillion relief bill. The printing presses must be running day and night printing up funny money.
This fraud is nothing but a drama queen. He pulls this shit all the time.
