Manchin Accuses White House Of Subverting The Inflation Reduction Act

Sen. Joe Manchin​ accused the Biden administration of not implementing the Inflation Reduction Act as intended, arguing it is “ignoring” the law’s provisions to expand fossil fuels for purely partisan purposes and undermining its ability to reduce the national debt.

“​{​​I]​nstead of implementing the law as intended, unelected ideologues, bureaucrats, and appointees seem determined to violate and subvert the law to advance a partisan agenda that ignores both energy and fiscal security,” the West Virginia Democrat wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal. [emphasis, links added]


“​Specifically, they are ignoring the law’s intent to support and expand fossil energy and are redefining ​’​domestic energy​’​ to increase clean-energy spending to potentially deficit-breaking levels.

“The administration is attempting at every turn to implement the bill it wanted, not the bill Congress actually passed,” he said.

Did he think anything else was going to happen? You vote for things on empty promises and this is what you get.

Stalinists that are fine with machine gunning you into a mass grave aren't going to act honestly or honorably.

Maybe not vote for it in the first place?

If this comes as a surprise to Joe, then he's stupider than we thought.

Sell out whore has long lost the minute shred of moral authority during his faux-middle of the road- Blow Joe period.

I just hope the good folks of WV give you such a kick in the ass, that their wingtip designs are implanted on your ass like a tatoo.

You voted for it based on a Biden promise, so you are at fault for being the deciding vote.

I have no sympathy for idiots.

This act by Manchin is just absurd. He gave Biden the deciding vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, saw his approval ratings plummet overnight, and is now pretending it’s someone else’s fault that bill is as bad as everyone said it would be.

Everybody, including Manchin, knew the Rats were going to renege on his deal before Biteme's signature was dry.

Everybody, including Manchin, knew the Rats were going to renege on his deal before Biteme's signature was dry.

Manchin's predicament reminds of when the Delta House crew wrecked Flounder's brothers Lincoln Continental during a road trip.
