Manchin sends warning shot over 'serious concerns' about $3.5T spending plan
By Jordain Carney - 08/11/21 08:06 AM EDT

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is sending a warning shot to President Biden and congressional leaders, saying he has "serious concerns" about spending $3.5 trillion on a massive package that Democrats want to pass later this year.

Manchin said in a statement early Wednesday that he has "serious concerns about the grave consequences ... if Congress decides to spend another $3.5 trillion."

“Given the current state of the economic recovery, it is simply irresponsible to continue spending at levels more suited to respond to a Great Depression or Great Recession – not an economy that is on the verge of overheating," Manchin said.


He added that "irresponsible levels of spending" could negatively impact the United States' ability to react to "unforeseen consequences."

"I urge my colleagues to seriously consider this reality as this budget process unfolds in the coming weeks and months," Manchin said.

P'uhlease ...

He added that "irresponsible levels of spending" could negatively impact the United States' ability to react to "unforeseen consequences."

... the government will just print more money and more IOU's.  The government's best hope to constrain the money supply is wealth destruction caused by boom-bust cycles

Didn't he - and fellow senator, squishy Republican Shelley M. Capito - vote FOR the porkapalooza "infrastructure" bill? Give me a break. Joe does not care, nor has he ever cared, about the cost to taxpayers of anything.

If anyone thinks Mojo won't remember that Biden gave Mrs. Manchin's phony baloney do-nothing "commission" a payoff of $1 billion, and respond accordingly, I have a bridge to sell you. The funny thing is that you could pay off Gayle Manchin with a bottle of vodka.
