Manchin Destroys Dems Dreams: Delivers His Ultimatum on $3.5 Trillion Spending Bill

Sen. Joe Manchin reportedly told Joe Biden and other Democrats last night that he’s going to do more to hit a pause on the monstrosity that is the $3.5 trillion spending bill.
Manchin, who has been telling them for months that it’s too much and they have to get things in line, finally just had enough and said that he wouldn’t support that much and that he might only support as “little” as $1 trillion. Now that’s still a huge amount, with who knows what attached to it, but still, it’s a move that’s likely to dash a lot of the Democrats’ agenda items, if that’s all they can have.
Manchin also indicated that he had policy issues with some of the items, including the $400 billion to be given to home caregivers. Hey, aren’t you caring enough, Joe? Don’t you believe in handing out free money? Apparently not. He also wants “means testing” on some of the other freebies which other Democrats are not going to like.
