So says Politico, which reports today that it’s game-on again between Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin on the reconciliation bill formerly known as Build Back Better. “It’s tight as hell,” said one unnamed Senate Democrat of the timeline as Schumer tries to spend even more money while inflation rages before the midterms. The recent negotiations over firearms and mental health have acted as a smokescreen, intentional or not, as Manchin apparently is getting what he wants out of the reconciliation bill:

Hmmm... So is the real purpose of the Democrats gun bill? To serve as a smokescreen for Build Back Broke?

And any vote will be in the middle of the night.

It has been rumored it’s ‘lurking’ around since the light of day may be detriMENTAL to it.

Build Back Better = New Green Deal = Total Destruction

[silent majority rising]

Schumer needs to resign for advocating violence against the SC.

[ConservativeInPA]

If Build Back Broke is passed and signed into law then we won’t have a recession. It will be a depression.

[skeeter]

For everyone but powerful 'rat constituents. Their pockets will be bulging with scrilla.

That should certainly help inflation! Damn these people are economically challenged.
