[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he's perfectly understandable. He hates liberal welfare policies funded by ruinous tax and spend policies.  Only sane person in the whole democratic senate that wont keep voting on policies that will worsen historic inflation.  The fact they keeo trying to twist his arm and bully him into submission like the American Rescue Plan is the definition of insanity.

Democrats should consider themselves lucky they are in the majority because of him and they can bring their bills to a vote and have been confirming D judges including Jackson.  Ds would have gotten squat with McConnel in charge but I bet Biden would be way more popular than he is now.   [/quote]

Bizarre that Manchin would harbor such hate for welfare policies given that after New Mexico, his own state's residents, his own constituents have the second highest per capita rate of dependency on food stamps and other welfare programs.  And Manchin has done absolutely nothing to actually help his state's constituents get out of that situation and in fact does everything he can to hold them back.

And, this yet again speaks to the total cognitive dissonance of rural white people in red West Virginia thinking we need to "end welfare" because they still fully embrace the stereotypes and think welfare and food stamps is all about mooching black baby mammas on crack with kids by 6 different absentee felon dads in Detroit or NYC living large on the taxpayer nickel with free apartments, free Obama phones, big screen TVs, eating steak and shrimp every night, as opposed to the reality of it being far more of themselves in West Virginia as the biggest consumers of welfare programs.  Distract the poor white people by giving them the idea of poor black people to look down on.[/quote]

Your solution to ‘West Virginia has so much welfare’ is to pile on MORE welfare? At the expense of the taxpayer? During a 50-year high for inflation? [/quote]

Your solution is to do nothing and let West Virginians descend into even deeper poverty.  I'll take mine over yours.[/quote]

What is your solution? Start printing more money than we already have for initiatives that have been shown to be either ineffective or wasteful? And you think that will help inflation which is the biggest tax on poor people? I swear it should be required for every elected Democrat to take basic economics and finance courses. As a party they are completely clueless about how it all works. Tax and spend has never been an effective long term strategy but here you are trying it again.[/quote]

You weren’t complaining about low interest rates were you? Tax cuts for billionaires - you object to that? How about massive subsidies for corporations in 2020? Bothered by those? But now you’re so upset about inflation ….[/quote]

I'm against the subsidies and to a lesser extent the tax cuts. But what was wrong about low interest rates? Can't wait to hear this one.

It’s contributed to the inflation you’re so worried about. [/quote]

We had low interest rates under Obama and Trump. Didn’t seem to be a problem until the Democrats started setting cash on fire in the form of stimulus checks and child tax credits. [/quote]
