Manchin kills Build Broke Better bill!!

Thank you, Senator Manchin! @BNIBoiler will be very upset and call you names but you’re much smarter than him and know what’s best for the country!! A Democrat with common sense, something we don’t see every day.

I said it on a previous post a couple months ago that the Dems better be careful or he’ll switch to a Republican or Independent and caucus with the Republicans. The tolerant party is hypocritical

What are you going to do about it??? Biden calls people boy, why can’t I? Different rules apply to Democrats like always???
Calling a black man 'boy' has clear racist undertones. A true Boilermaker does not speak like that under any conditions.

You really should strive to be better than Biden, which is not a high bar.
 
Massive omnibus spending bills are never going to be popular.

Dropping 5 tril (yes, its 5) on everything from clean energy to kindergarten is tough sell.

Legislate. Introduce meausures that Americans can agree on. Quit going for the 9th inning grand slam.

Yep, dems are trying to legislate like they have some kind of mandate. Not even close.

There are some good things in BBB and each should be given a chance to be voted on and become law. But that's not how congress works anymore.

Too much of what is called "education" is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.
 
Joe Manchin put COUNTRY first, PARTY second. Cheers!!
Manchin put himself first.

Let me get this straight. As one of the poorest states, West Virginia doesn't need lower pharmaceutical costs? As one of the poorest states, West Virginia doesn't need lower elderly care? As one of the poorest states, West Virginia doesn't need lower job training costs? Particularly since the WV coal industry ain't coming back. As one of the poorest states, West Virginia doesn't need lower childcare costs? As one of the poorest states, West Virginia doesn't need lower health care premiums?

The Ds have crafted this legislation. They are trying to ram an omnibus, social justice, social engineering package though Congress with no mandate and no margin for error. It’s pretty much all or nothing. Progressives are idiots. They always shoot for the moon and are typically upset that they don’t get their way.

Yep. Now the squad and Uncle Bernie are running their mouths like a bunch of entitled spoiled children. Pressley demanding the other day that Biden wipe out all student loans because they are a form of violence against former students. No wonder I feel so tired. I've unknowingly had violence inflicted on me for years while paying for cars, houses and student loans.

Biden got 31% of the vote in WV in 2020.

Per the link below, Joe has an approval rating of 32% and Joe Manchin has a 60% approval. This is dated 11/15/21. Maybe Joe Manchin knows his constituents better than you do.

They shoot for the moon, then hammer on Republicans until they cave to a portion of it and Democrats get a few of the social programs they want out of it that will never go away. Rinse repeat, and we are that much closer to a nanny state.

We'll see how it goes in WV ab elsewhere when they continue to pay up the ying yang for childcare, elderly care, drugs etc. But some folks like to vote against there own interest.

Although Christmas brings happiness to many, and for some a reflection on the meaning of the holiday, as well getting acquainted again with things or true importance ,it is important for any with a soft heart to be cognizant that it too is a time of lost souls taking his or her life unable to cope with unrealistic appraisal of those things most painful.

Acknowledging and bringing to the forefront that Santa as known in fairy tales in an abrupt manner is not real ,can at times be a lethal dose of reality that could lead to additional mental illness above and beyond the typical neurosis. Talking about the issues at play in small doses can sometimes open a door into that dark inside of turmoil and shed a little light offering a potential recovery over time…sometimes a very long time. It is just a matter of taking baby steps.

And people pay out the ying yang for food, housing, vehicles and vacations. Should all of those items be free as a well. My guess is WVns recognize that you just cannot keep giving away everything for free.

Rural people don’t look to the government to solve their problems, they typically want the government out of their lives.

Meanwhile, the Democrats on Capitol Hill are just pissed they didn’t get the SALT repeal. A $475B tax cut that Joe Manchin wouldn’t approve. Yep, the Democrats wanted a $0.5T tax cut for blue states.

And they want to be able to own and use guns for hunting and sport (target shooting).

Its a shame the Congress won't legislate a stand alone compromise.....
1. Add free childcare for working families under $75k.
2. Take away some other giveaway(s) of relatively same budgetary amount as #1 that incentivises people not to work.

That kind of compromise would likely appeal to all (except the extreme radical partisans on each side), and most importantly help poor and middle class American families and America get back to work.

Trouble is corrupt politicians always want to add programs and NEVER delete any.

The Democrats didn’t want to give up their biggest line item…a $475B tax cut for the rich in blue states (high state and local tax…SALT).

I agree. The problem is it appears the word compromise is no longer in anybody's vocabulary.
