[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And maybe people should focus on the real roadblocks.  Not convenient talking points

Four House Democrats — Suozzi and Reps. Mikie Sherrill, Josh Gottheimer and Bill Pascrell of New Jersey — have gone public so far with their insistence on SALT reinstatement in the upcoming package.

just amazing how MSM ignores the cause of the BBB failure.

SALT increase doomed it.   It will go nowhere with the pork handouts to rich democrat millionaires.

And it is not Manchin causing the problem, it is these wealthy Democrats from New York and New Jersey.   they don't give a damn about the middle class.

You seem to have missed the boat entirely on this.

The BBB passed in the House on November 19, despite the resistance of those 4 Democrats.  In fact, they resistance was in large part because it was painless for them to vote nay.  If there were insufficient votes to pass without those four then it might have been significant that they objected, but they objected for political reasons, just to appease their base back home (many of whom are hit hard by the SALT caps).  It was sunk in the Senate because they did not have the 50 votes needed to pass (with VP Harris' tie-breaking vote).

Manchin is a US Senator, not a Representative.   [/quote]
