Manchin, Schumer agree to vastly pared back version of Build Back Better

[1srelluc]

Sen. Joe Manchin announced Wednesday that he came to an agreement with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on a reconciliation bill, after more than a year of negotiations among Democrats.

Manchin, D-W.Va., frustrated Democrats for months, consistently refusing to support party-line legislation that at one point Democrats wanted to cost over $3 trillion. Democrats termed that legislation "Build Back Better," and Manchin shut down negotiations on it late last year.

But with Democrats grasping for a legislative win ahead of the midterms, Schumer, D-N.Y., kept up talks directly with Manchin through the spring and summer. In a lengthy statement, the moderate senator said Wednesday those talks resulted in a deal for a slimmed-down bill that includes tax, climate and prescription drug provisions.

They're not building anything, only further wrecking the economy.

20 years from now, kids will ask "Grandpa, what did you do during the Great Biden Depression?"

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

This is unnecessary spending.
Schumer is going to try to grab as much kick-back loot as he can before he loses the Senate.
They are going to cause more inflation.

Money well spent?

Inflation is about to receive another jolt.

Nothing like raising taxes ("interest carry over loophole") on the rich so they can launder it through some BS green initiative right back into the DNC's coffers.

You know I hope it all does collapse......Hard times make for strong men.

Don't you know, the DEMOCRATS are gonna "reduce the deficit" and bring inflation back to the TRUMP years

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Yay. More inflationary spending. You're really gonna love when this recession turns into a full-blown depression. and you lose your shit.

But this bill is designed to bring inflation down to 2%

 

[task0778]

At least it's nowhere near the amount of spending they originally wanted to spend. What a laugh though, to say more spending will reduce the deficit. It's like when my wife buys a new dress and says, "look, I got it for only $30 when it originally cost $100. So I saved us $70!" I kept my mouth shut. I know, I'm so whipped it ain't funny.
