He'll screw progressives.
Just for sh*ts and giggles,
Joe Manchin is there!
I won't call Joe Manchin a real American hero. He's still a Democrat and therefore on the wrong side of a lot of history. But the enemy of my enemy is my content. Manchin is the only thing standing in the way of Joe Biden's agenda screwing the country up more than it has. He's Lucy holding the football if the football is "build back better" and Chuck Schumer is Charlie Brown. And when all you can do is write about it, sometimes you just revel in the chaos.
Manchin WAS negotiating with Schumer for "Build Back Better-ish" to give Democrats a "win" to take into the midterms. Then we broke another record for inflation. Joe told Chuck two words that Schumer must be used to hearing.
Manchin informed Chuckles -- he didn't bother talking to any other Democrats -- that the government spending on climate and tax hikes on Americans are non-starters. Though, the Senator will allow "curbing pharmaceutical prices and extending federal subsidies for buying health care coverage." For now. This was already the $1 trillion dollar version of the $ 2 trillion dollar waste of taxpayer money that Manchin but the kibosh in December.
The rub is Democrats view their success depending on how much taxpayer money they spend. They're hoping for a sweeping package they could take to their base and say, "See, we're doing something" while pointing out Republicans aren't do anything. Which is not true. Republicans are doing something. They are staying out of the way.
The GOP has always been expected to vote against any "sweeping" regulation in unison, saying that any new measure would "worsen inflation by boosting spending and raising taxes." Because two of the things that make inflation worse are -- wait for it --- raising taxes and increased government spending.
This is a developing story. Progressive special interest groups have yet to embark on any performative slacktivism against Manchin as of yet.
