Biden strikes out with King Manchin

That is why he needs to be put on the spot and be held accountable.

Not only that, but he is also singlehandedly helping to destroy the environment. This is what’s at stake here.

They need to put Manchin on the spot and have him identify and explain, specifically, and line by line, exactly what it is that he wants cut and make him try and explain away to his constituents and supporters FACTUALLY as to why he thinks those cuts MUST be made before he will vote yes - and be there to respond to fact checkers who can refute any points he makes.

This isn't the presidential debates.

Manchin needs to be made to answer for himself and his actions. He is holding up ALL of Congress, he is holding up a much-needed bill to help our economy, and is being less than honest, transparent and forthcoming on *exactly* why and what *exactly* it will take for him to approve it. That is why he needs to be put on the spot and be held accountable.

Help the economy? LOL That bill will sink an economy already struggling with levels of inflation not seen in 13 years.

And Biden can't afford anymore failures. They haven't even written the BBB Act out, no one has the text of the bill because it doesn't exist, and they're holding up a bill that has already passed the Senate and will save Biden pre-midterms.

Sink the economy? Increase inflation? Based on what? Post a link to a credible economic analysis.

Because history of similar measures shows the exact opposite of what you are claiming.

We're already seeing the effects of the Child Tax Credits started in July - rampant inflation caused by the wash of unearned income flooding the nation

Manchin's motivations in holding this bill hostage are 100% tied his fossil fuel donors. His grift and allegiance to America's worst polluters is holding the country back.

Manchin Is the only thing preventing insane runaway inflation (which is extremely regressive btw)

Good article about how Manchin's home town is getting wrecked by climate change - disastrous flooding from ever increasing rainfalls. Even his own cousins are getting flooded out of their homes and their basements filled with sewage.

In fact, West Virginia is actually the most at-risk when it comes to future flooding & exposed infrastructure. The guy is literally twiddling his thumbs while his entire state will drown in the next few years:

First Street measures risk not only from rivers but also from smaller creeks and streams — the sort of waterways that expose towns like Farmington to so much flooding, yet are generally left off FEMA’s flood maps.

First Street calculated the portion of all kinds of infrastructure at risk of becoming inoperable because of a so-called 100-year flood — a flood that statistically has a 1 percent chance of happening in any given year. The group compared the results for every state except Alaska and Hawaii. In many cases, West Virginia topped the list.

Sixty-one percent of West Virginia’s power stations are at risk, the highest nationwide and more than twice the average. West Virginia also leads in the share of its roads at risk of inundation, at 46 percent.

The state also ranks highest for the share of fire stations (57 percent) and police stations (50 percent) exposed to a 100-year flood.

And West Virginia ties with Louisiana for the greatest share of schools (38 percent) and commercial properties (37 percent) at risk.

I wonder if even his own family can talk some sense into him. This is outrageous.

WV is a mountainous state with huge risk of flash flooding. Everything built into the side of a hill and near a creek or river.

I think they know that he's their gravy train, so they publicly keep their mouth shut. The Manchin family is very wealthy due to their political fortunes. I'm not sure how far the wealth has reached into his extended family.

God you Republicans are ghoulish. So much progress is being lost. We’re losing so much time on the environment, and it’s because the oil companies have paid off Manchin. No one knows what moron Sinema wants, other than publicity.

So this is so BS blaming WV flooding in “climate change”.

WV has had several floods in 1943, 1957, 1977, 1985, 2016, 2021.

So how the heck did they have severe floods all the way back in 1943???? It’s so dumb to say that every bad event that happens is climate change as they have happened nearly 80 years ago as well.

BTW the most dealt flooding in WV was in 1985. The flooding in 2021 was much less damage and fatalities.

If you mean progress=socialism, I don’t need any of that “progress”.

See already when you pay people not to work, give them “tax credits” or payments when most people don't pay taxes, it causes a lot of people not resign or having to go to work. And there it is, good luck finding anyone to do the jobs like working in a restaurant, driving trucks.

And I love the Universal Pre-k bs, so we give everyone in the county Universal Pre-k,

But where are you going to hire the Extra 10,000 teachers needed for this when we can’t even get enough to teach in schools??

Actually I'm pretty happy with this Manchin change. I'm building and need the Solar Tax Credits for the roof.

Democrats are in discussions to repurpose $150 billion that had been earmarked for an effort to spur electric utilities to more rapidly reduce emissions — which Mr. Manchin opposes — to instead fund other efforts to fight climate change. Those include additional tax credits for solar and nuclear power and capturing carbon emissions from fossil fuel-powered plants. They also include grants and loans to incentivize emissions reductions in steel, concrete and other industrial uses.

“We’re going with tax incentives — we’re going to incentivize people basically to move forward on technology that we have,” Mr. Manchin said on Tuesday. “We’re going to take the best that we have in technology and use it for the betterment of the globe.”
