Schumer rejects Manchin's call for pause on Biden plan
By Jordain Carney - 09/08/21 10:56 AM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is rejecting a call for Democrats to hit pause on President Biden's spending plan, indicating that they are sticking to an ambitious timeline.

"We're moving full-speed ahead. ... We want to keep going forward. We think getting this done is so important," Schumer told reporters during a conference call on Wednesday.

Schumer's remarks come after moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) urged his colleagues to hit "pause" on Biden's $3.5 trillion plan, which is at the heart of Democrats' economic and legislative agenda.


Manchin, during a West Virginia Chamber of Commerce event and separate Wall Street Journal op-ed, said Democrats should slow down, pointing to concerns about the debt and inflation as well as unrelated issues including the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

Will there be a 'stimulus' check?  I need to paint my truck.

I could use another gun and ammunition is really expensive.

Manchin calls for a pause on democrat spending.  Now there's delusions equal to those believing Biden can be held accountable for anything!

The fact Antifa and Taliban can tweet unabated, while Trump was banned?  I used to think it was hypocricy.  Now I am certain it is planned and executed complicity and particpation.

Manchin?  He has a conservative constituency, so hopefully there will be some revenge enacted at some point.
