Build Back Bankrupt Turns Into Another Major Failure For Joe Biden And Nancy Pelosi
BY: CHRISTOPHER JACOBS
DECEMBER 20, 2021Appearing on ‘Fox News Sunday,’ Sen. Joe Manchin said he could not support President Biden and Nancy Pelosi’s multi-trillion-dollar spending plan, tanking Build Back Bankrupt.In “The Hollow Men,” poet T. S. Eliot wrote that the world would end not with a bang but a whimper. To much of the left, their world (for the time being, anyway) ended Sunday morning on a Fox News soundstage.
Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, indicated he could not support the multi-trillion-dollar spending plan President Biden and congressional Democrats had spent the second half of this year working to enact.
“I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there….This is a no on this legislation. I have tried everything I know to do,” Manchin said.
Procedurally, Manchin’s comments carry no official weight. Democrats could still work to rewrite the legislation to meet his concerns and resurrect its chances for passage, much as they did with Obamacare following the shock election of Republican Scott Brown to Massachusetts’ U.S. Senate seat in January 2010.
