West Virginia: The Legislation Joe Manchin Is Holding Up Would Help His State — A Lot

[Lakhota]

MANCHIN CHOPPING BLOCK KILLS FAMILY LEAVE​

Demolition Duo: Manchin, Sinema Have ‘Destroyed’ Every Option To Pay For Bill​

Pure evil.

Way to go Manchin! He doesn't want an entitlement society. A Democrat I like!

No bank would give a loan to a person already so far in debt and having no history of paying the principal down. What the US is doing is like the idiot that maxes out their credit card and pays the minimum monthly amount. Democrats, and establishment Republicans, are irresponsible assholes that don't care about the future of this country.

Manchin is hurting West Virginia. He seems to be using spending and inflation as his excuses for blocking Biden's legislation. He is even against the For the People Act to protect voting rights. He also seems to be hung up on getting Republican support and defending the filibuster. What do you think?

Most Democrats find it necessary to serve two "masters."

They promise to change the economic status-quo to benefit the vast majority of their voters, yet they depend on the richest ten percent of voters to fund their campaigns (and million dollar lifestyles)

Biden promised a roomful of rich, Wall Street parasites the economic status-quo would not change to their detriment in the summer of 2019 if he was elected POTUS:

Biden to rich donors: "Nothing will fundamentally change"

"Biden told donors at an event at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday evening that he would not 'demonize' the rich and promised that 'no one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change,' Bloomberg News reported.

"Biden’s assurance to donors in New York came shortly after his appearance at the Poor People’s Campaign Presidential Forum in Washington on Monday."

Manchin and Sinema are simply foils for Biden's bogus populism.

West Virginia struggles with the exact problems that Biden’s spending bill aims to fix.

West Virginia has long been synonymous with rural poverty and, today, its median income is the nation’s second lowest, behind only Mississippi.

For much of the 20th century, that bred public support for muscular government action and led to the election of Democratic senators like Robert Byrd, who used his long tenure on the Appropriations Committee to secure for the state more than $10 billion worth of public works, and Jay Rockefeller, who championed Medicaid and helped develop the federal Children’s Health Insurance Program. Today, roughly one in four West Virginians get medical coverage through those programs.

But like the rest of Appalachia and the South, West Virginia has increasingly elected Republicans. West Virginia’s Republicans haven’t crusaded for smaller government in the way, say, former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) once did, but they also have not supported major expansions of government programs, even as the state’s needs have quite obviously grown.

The national shift of more women into the workforce has increased the demand for child care, while an aging population living with more disabilities has increased the demand for long-term care, including home and community supports that let elderly and disabled people live in private homes and stay out of institutions. The latter need is especially acute in West Virginia, where the proportion of residents older than 65 is third highest in the nation.

All of that helps to explain why, in a recent report card on “care policies” by The Century Foundation, West Virginia was one of five states to get an F. The survey considered the quality, affordability and availability of a variety of programs, including child care and home care and paid leave for workers.

And although even the low-scoring states had some strong programs ― West Virginia, for example, has won praise for its universal pre-kindergarten initiative ― the overall level of support in these are, according to the report, “leaving families to scramble to manage work, care and family, creating impossible conflicts that lead to economic insecurity, poor health, added stress, and growing inequality.”

Nothing in that filthy bill would help anybody except the filthy ass Democrat Progressive special interest groups, the scum of America.

Joe needs to switch parties to the GOP. His state is the reddest, so why is he still blue???

Look for Joe to switch to "independent" after the 22 blood bath.

PAID LEAVE KILLED — BY ONE 74-YEAR-OLD MAN​

Joe Manchin kills legislation?

Does he kill human beings as well?

 

[Votto]

Right, diversity is not something the DNC is comfortable with.

 

[Billiejeens]

Block it Joe, do the right thing.

The media want everyone to think that 1 person is blocking Democracy -

It's Manchin, Sinema, and 50 Republicans - Perfecting Democracy

 

[Billiejeens]

Fuck um, they want them some "small" gubnit right wingnuts let them have them!!!
MAGA

Everyone should want that.

 

[Billiejeens]

I think a pretty popular Democrat once said... Ask not what your country can do for you, but instead what you can do for your country.

The current crop of pseudo-Democrats...the Socialist Democrats... they have lost the path. This thread is the proof.

That Democrat today could never get elected in the Democrat Party

He would be a Tea Party Patriot - Freedom Caucus Member.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Put some Desenex on this thread to soothe the wailing, bitching babies.

The issue is dead. What Manchin and Sinema have saved citizens more than makes up for what they
may have lost.

Hell, I bet even baby brother Teddy would puke if he saw how the Democrat party has morphed.

 

[Billiejeens]

What you're saying is that you don't want the rich to have their taxes raised

"We can't even pay for what we spend today"
Of course we can. We only pay interest on our debt. That costs $370 B. You think we can't afford that?

You're a fool

I think that just maybe, you don't understand how that works.

 

[Billiejeens]

Hell, I bet even baby brother Teddy would puke if he saw how the Democrat party has morphed.

Not that much faith in that POS.

 

[GMCGeneral]

Not that much faith in that POS.

True.
