Graham hopes to sway Manchin against Biden plan with new CBO report

Republicans are hoping to sway Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) into hitting pause on President Biden's climate and social spending plan β€” or nixing it altogether β€” using a new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report on the cost of the bill if all of its provisions were made permanent.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, mentioned Manchin by name approximately 20 times during a roughly 27-minute press conference Friday on the CBO's findings and new data that showed inflation has hit a nearly 40-year high.

"Joe Manchin has been wanting to know without gimmicks what would the bill cost. We now know it more than doubles. ... I’ve done what Sen. Manchin said somebody should do," Graham said.

Wish he would have lost the election in 2020. Two timer.

Graham is a Charleston wannabee who grew up in a tavern. And HE is advising Manchin who answers to the Rockefeller mineral rights holder of the Stage of WV? That’s a good one.

The intention of the Socialist morons of joebama land is to destroy the economy with inflation. Even Manchin can’t be stupid enough to spend more un-repayable Fed “printed” money. No reputable economist— as in Wharton, would support this.

John Maynard Keynes— still failing economies with “other people’s money” which is really OUR MONEY. But then gubt types do not think we, citizens own our money, and that it is theirs. For that matter every currency denomination has printed on it.. “Federal Reserve Note”... so these are not our CURRENCY they are promissory notes (checks if you like, which they back with... nothing.)

We need to vote out Graham when the election comes up since we really know it by now that Graham is a Rino.

He will not win another election in South Carolina since he was sweating this last election.

Sean Hannity was his personal fundraiser last time.

I would look for FOX to intervene in that election again.

Oh, great.

The future of our economy for decades to come is dependent on Graham and Manchin.

They’ll fight for us.

Oh yeah.

Why has Jon Tester not been under pressure? Montana just had its biggest GOP win (in 2020) in years
