Joe Manchin Ahead of House Vote: ‘I Cannot Support Trillions in Spending’

Paul Bois 29 Sep 2021

Ahead of Thursday’s pivotal vote in the House on Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) persisted in his opposition to the trillion-dollar price tag.

In a statement on Wednesday, Manchin, who has previously resisted the bill and even publicly called on Democrats to put a “pause” on it, said that he cannot support the trillions of dollars in spending:

While I am hopeful that common ground can be found that would result in another historic investment in our nation, I cannot — and will not — support trillions in spending or an all-or-nothing approach that ignores the brutal fiscal reality our nation faces. There is a better way and I believe we can find it if we are willing to continue to negotiate in good faith.

Not making predictions, mind you, but I won't be surprised if he caves.

Neither will I.  Perhaps they'll agree to move the rest of the IRS admin offices to WV, and put them into a new massive admin campus to be called the Manchin Center.

They can put it next to the big FBI facility in Bridgeport, WV - in the county adjacent to Manchin's home county.

‘I Cannot Support Trillions in Spending’.

What he really could mean:
"I Cannot Support Trillions in Spending... unless there's more for me in it..."

Biden already appointed Joe's wife Gayle to some do-nothing commission. He expects a little something in return.
