Remember how Manchin killed Build Back BS because it would kill the economy (again)? According to CNN Manchin and Schumer found a way to pass it so that the worst economic damage would happen after the midterms.

[Avalon Memories]

Manchin and Schumer “found a way to pass it” only when Manchin got whatever his payoff was.

[Salvey]

Manchin made sure to emphasize that name had been scrapped

He also scrapped that other name: Mancini.

The economy’s already dead. So at this point what difference does it make. My new tag line is born.

McConnellIdiot duped hard ftw.

Thought the jackass was supposed to be so savvy, etc., blah, blah.

Not.

We are well and truly screwed.

From Joe’s website
“ The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 invests in the technologies needed for all fuel types – from hydrogen, nuclear, renewables, fossil fuels and energy storage – to be produced and used in the cleanest way possible. It is truly all of the above, which means this bill does not arbitrarily shut off our abundant fossil fuels. It invests heavily in technologies to help us reduce our domestic methane and carbon emissions and also helps decarbonize around the world as we displace dirtier products.”

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Senator Manchin both jerked sharply towards the Political Left after having Covid.

Any examples of neo-Marxists becoming more Conservative after Covid?

Probably not.

[Roccus]

ANY REPUBLICAN, politician or regular taxpayer, who is shocked by this is a fool!

What could you possibly have expected? Remember, he is a politician!!! And worse yet, a *DEMOCRAT* politician!

[MulberryDraw]

“making the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 anything but a done deal.”

and anything but inflation reduction IMO.

The country has entered a recession under diaper-brain’s watch, but suddenly his presidency is “saved”?

Spare me.

[Tupelo]

Secret Negotiations. When negotiations are done in secret signifies a payoff of some sort.
It sure makes me wonder.
Carrot:Money? Power? Both?
Stick: Fear?

Washington DC in 2022 is a lot like Moscow in 1950 in more ways than one.

[Lisbon1940]

Build back worse.

[TexasM1A]

Moderate my butt, Manchin is a bought and paid for whore, just like the rest of them.
The fact that people believed that he would “save the republic” is such a joke.
Just look at his past, he will always do what “the party” wants him to do.
The same as Sinema, they just need to find their price first.

[tommythev]

The idea that the negative results of this would be postponed until after the midterms neglects the reaction of the markets. Wall street would tank.

[PghBaldy]

I didn’t hear it, but Mike Gallagher (radio talk show host) said he was going to play an audio montage of Manchin saying we should never raise taxes during a recession.

[Drew68]

Bro, it’s called the Inflation Reduction Act! Don’t you want to reduce inflation?
