Well Manchin told colleagues he thinks his constituents will spend child tax credit money on drugs, so he has a dim view of them himself.

[quote]In recent months, Manchin has told several of his fellow Democrats that he thought parents would waste monthly child tax credit payments on drugs instead of providing for their children, according to two sources familiar with the senator’s comments.

Continuing the child tax credit for another year is a core part of the Build Back Better legislation that Democrats had hoped to pass by the end of the year. The policy has already cut child poverty by nearly 30%.

Manchin’s private comments shocked several senators, who saw it as an unfair assault on his own constituents and those struggling to raise children in poverty.

Manchin has also told colleagues he believes that Americans would fraudulently use the proposed paid sick leave policy, specifically saying people would feign being sick and go on hunting trips, a source familiar with his comments told HuffPost.[/quote]

I'll believe that when I hear it from Manchin's lips.  Not believing a HuffPo story using only anonymous sources.  [/quote]

Yeah, right. Like Manchin is going to state this publicly.

They had 2 different sources confirm it. I believe it. Sounds absolutely legit that someone as wealthy and out of touch as Manchin would have such an opinion of his constituents. Why else would he ignore the overwhelming public approval of the BBB among West Virginians?[/quote]

You are so out of touch on this forum.  I am from WV.  He’s right, and trying to fight the opioid crisis is a huge issue back home.  His constituents won’t be offended at all, they want their family members to stop dying of overdoses.[/quote]

Also, 74 percent of WVians oppose BBB.  What overwhelming majority?[/quote]

Who f’ing cares? Manchin got 290,510 votes. He got 49.6% of the vote. 80 million people voted for Biden. Under 1% of the voters can veto the other 99%.  You think this is a workable system? No it is not. [/quote]

WV native. People love him because he is normal. A lot of people know him and he is very personable. He really doesn’t care what AOC things and she would have nothing to do with regular WV people. That is just facts. BBB is not good for WV and that is why he said no. He is a politician with integrity. Many people cross the line to vote for him. He was also a wonderful Governor.  People care about their gas prices, their food costs -they do not care about electric cars and why in the world would regular WV want to get rid of energy industry. FYI people need to stop making fun of WV-it is a beautiful state. Come visit.[/quote]

+1 I'm not from W VA but agree with what you've said about Manchin and people's concerns in his home state. When I read an earlier comment with the descriptor "inbred," it showed the ignorance, bias, and condescending attitude of that poster. [/quote]
