House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said late Wednesday that $3.5 trillion may not be needed to achieve President Biden’s priorities, as Democrats continue to debate the price tag of their reconciliation spending plan.
“I think that there is a lot of room for people to sit down and negotiate. It may be, when you're sitting around the table, you may not need 3.5 trillion to do what the president wants done and what the current country needs done,” Clyburn told guest host Jim Acosta on CNN’s “The Situation Room.”
Clyburn’s comments come as Democrats have been engaged in an internal battle regarding the price tag of their sweeping reconciliation spending package, which includes a number of education, health care and climate change priorities.

Clyburn is a pompous buffoon, much like China Joe.
It looks like the 3.5T is dead.
Someone is going to try for 2T and then claim they saved the USA 1.5T.
The Uniparty cheers!
They’ll take what they can pass now, then work on getting the remainder and more immediately after.
That’s mighty white of Clyburn.
How exciting. A top Democrat aka Demoncrat talking to a spoiled brat news caster.
Yep. Salami tactics.
I’m sure they will reach the conclusion that $3.4 trillion is sufficient, and will then spin that they saved the country $100 billion.
Manchin is already doing this, they think we don't see their tricks.
I don’t care what he wants, Clyburn.
Go suck an egg.
We cannot keep raising debt/printing fake money to pay our nation’s debts. How many could get credit/borrow with these debts? Yellen is an idiot. She darn sure got fake Econ degrees and/failed any business course. We used to be on the gold standard.
Clyburn is black
Therefore, whatever he wants is good for the Africanized cities and bad for America
Clyburn is a domestic enemy
I think a secret service expedition to DQ costs a lot less than $3.5 T.
Clyburn became superfluous right after the South Carolina primary. Biden probably can’t remember who he is and what he did.Biden’s ruling cabal could not care less what Clyburn says. they know that in the end he will always do what he is told.
No the $3.5 trillion is not there, nor is the $1.5 trillion there nor is the $2 trillion there and there is not even $6 trillion additional spending planed for the ongoing budget.
America is broke, the ability of these Marxists to play with monopoly money is being brought to an end by the market, or should I rather say by the Chinese?
All Biden wants is ice-cream cones
Clyburn is just another corrupt low IQ black bigot that the South seems to have an endless supply of. He’s not even qualified to be a sanitation worker, let alone serve in Congress.
Yeah you could probably get by with only 3.4 billion.
How curious to see an old school Dim stating “we don’t need that much”.
Is it the end of the world as we know it?
He’s forgetting 10% for the big guy. Hey that’s about $350 billion or so right?
