The article is just bizarre. He k owns this is poison to the economy, so he’s worked for months to come up with a smaller dose? The quotes of Manchin just don’t make sense
Yep the old keep them broke the more the need the government gig.
I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
The whore is still haggling over the price.
Make no mistake. Manchin at his core is a Democrat. He makes common cause with the anti American socialists such as Schumer and his ilk. Manchin is no asset to America.
I had Manchins number a looong time ago.
As it regards inflation concerns, what has changed ManchinIdiot? Rhetorical question, I know. /s
And it’s worth noting that McConnell held the entire GOP caucus, including RINO’s, united against it. Those who claim there is no difference between Republicans and democrats should pay attention to that.
What the hell, West Virginia?
The mere deal to pass this is going to stoke inflation.
Is somebody going to tell Manchin that the Wharton School of Business study says that the legislation will have zero impact on inflation? I hope that happens although I don.t expect him to change his mind. Pray for Senator Sinema.
Hey Joe:
““Statistically Indistinguishable from Zero”: Wharton Study Finds the Inflation Reduction Act Agreed Upon by Schumer and Manchin Has No Impact on Inflation”

ZERO IMPACT on reducing inflation!
They are running cover for this Judas choad.
"Manchin: Talks with Schumer on spending plan slowed by inflation concerns [emphasis added]"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
What's really slowing down the Manchin / Schumer constitutionally indefensible, desparate Democratic election year spending plan is this. Neither Manchin or Schumer have introduced a resolution to propose a new amendment to the Constitution that, if the states chose to ratify proposed amendment, would give Congress the specific new powers that it needs to pass Manchin's bill in the first place.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, had clarified that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had left the care of the people uniquely to the states, not the feds.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Insights welcome.
Speaking of election year, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents in federal and state governments. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
Their plan is to get money into the pockets of their friends and family nothing else
One way or the other Congre$$ alway$ find way$ to continue to grab money and make $ure the DC $wamp continue$ to grow and enrich it$elf.
Well apparently those concerns are now over with for Manchin since he wants to spend several hundred billion extra dollars on another supplemental bill and raise taxes on corporations which will further raise the prices of goods and services and end planned long term investment in the United States - from which we may never fully recover even if this bill is later reversed. Investors are not going to make long term plans in the United States if the tax rates are going to keep changing. Our lower rates gave us a competitive advantage against other nations, and blunted the effect of tariffs by lowering our own cost of production. That is all being thrown out the window.
I can picture Joe saying: “No, no, no. Look here. This plan will lower inflation, not raise it. Don’t you understand? C’MON, MAN!”
It will, thanks for nothing Joe.
