Remember the original bill was $2.3 tril. The $3.5 appeared out of nowhere....so let's say...They were then pushing for $5.8.
The end game...$1.2 tril plus $1.5 Tril = $2.7 tril. But they'll talk Manchin up to $1.8 tril to make an even $3 tril.
We are so screwed because once any of their dream programs are in place, you'll NEVER get rid of them. Free college?? Free babysitting? 12 weeks PAID leave....
They’ll take Manchin’s $1.5...and next year they’ll present a new and improved very expensive bill with all the crap they left out this time.

Close. As I see their game plan : get ALL the programs in place with starter funds ; leave nothing out. Once they become official policy, there is no stopping them. In the following budgets, these new full blown socialist programs will be “fully funded” and the US will become a full socialist nation, with Federalized elections and one official party rule, under the “progressives”.
