Manchin: Biden Loan Plan Seems to Wipe out Inflation Act, ‘I Cannot Answer’ Why We’re Penalizing Those Who Paid off Loans

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reacted to Congressional Budget Office’s $400 billion cost projection for President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan by saying that it “seems to” wipe out whatever deficit reduction there was in the Inflation Reduction Act and that he “cannot answer when people call me” and wonder why they’re being “penalized” for paying their loans off.

Manchin said, “I’m very much concerned about the debt we have. We have about a $31 trillion debt that we have to be realistic about. In the IRA bill, we had $300 billion being paid down and this seems to wipe that out. But the bottom line is, I just thought there [were] other ways that we could do it. I cannot answer when people call me and say, you’re giving x amount of dollars away, $10,000 or $20,000 to this class, how about I paid mine off, why am I penalized? And how about the people in the future?”

You're concerned about the debt we have???? Then why did you take the payoff for the inflation reduction act you POS?? 🤬🤬

[hinckley buzzard]

Yep. Manchin the flim-flam man.

Way too late to caucus with the RINOs there Jao.

Hey Manchin....FOAD. West Virginia, get your act together. The End.

[dfwgator]

FOAD, Joe.

There is appearance of contradiction, because this administration doesn’t know what they’re doing and sees no ‘upside’ in finding out or looking at long range effects.

[Vision]

It’s to buy votes Joe, you know that.

Manchin: You f’d up, you trusted me!

[Leaning Right]

I once foolishly thought that Manchin had some convictions. But now I realize he’s just waiting for the next bribe. Manchin will eventually back Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan. Biden just needs to sweeten the pot a bit.

I think they know exactly what they’re doing. And they’re quite good at it.

Look at the bright side - Schumer screwed Manchin so Manchin is a lot less likely to play ball with the Democrats on screwing the country in lame duck session for the Democrats

“Manchin will eventually back Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan. Biden just needs to sweeten the pot a bit.”

Will he accept another worthless IOU?

[DIRTYSECRET]

It’s like child care provided by the government. Families with stay at home moms had to pay for it.

It’s not my fault! It’s that bill I didn’t vote for that’s causing all the inflation, not the one I voted for!

[Republican Wildcat]

There’s no “seeming” about it - even if we believe it was going to pay down $300 billion (which I doubt), $400 billion more spending more than “wipes that out” - and then some.

You voted for this craziness, Manchin. Now own it and stop your fake “moderate” act.

2010: Won the special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by incumbent Democrat Robert Byrd's death with 53% of the vote
2012: Elected to a full term with 61% of the vote.
2018: Won a second term with just under 50% of the vote.

Yeah, "concerned"...

[JamesP81]

Schumer rolled him like a chump.
