Centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Wednesday he’s open to the $3.5 trillion spending agreement reached by Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee, which would be entirely paid for with yet to be specified tax measures, but he’s holding back on fully endorsing the deal until further review.
Manchin’s cautious optimism about the agreement means that Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) two-track strategy for moving President Biden’s infrastructure agenda is still moving in the right direction.
“I heard about it this morning or late last night from my staff,” Manchin told reporters on Wednesday. “So, we’re anxious to basically review it. They worked hard on it, we want to see it. Also, I’ve been very clear that I want to see the pay-fors and make sure that whatever we do is globally competitive.”

OK, sure
Pure fiscal insanity. My God, these bureaucrats are sending us to hell.
We knew all along he was a whore, he was just haggling over the price
The media will portray Manchin as America’s hero if he signs on to this.
Manchin’s presence in the Senate is why socialist Bernie Sanders is now the Chairman of the Budget Committee. But he successfully portrays himself as a “Centrist Democrat” to get WV voters to keep electing him.
The Dims LIED TO THE REPUBLICANS JUST LAST WEEK.
Does the pea=brain Manchin think they won’t LIE To HIM??
I think Manchin is a deceitful phony and someone said he was a whore...couldn’t be more accurate.
boycotting the senate runoffs in GA was such a brilliant idea.
Manchin's price will be sufficient to insure that he will never have to pay a personal price for helping to ruin the economy. He will be one of the pampered princes who will look down on the starving proletariat when buckets of dollars may buy a loaf of bread.
I guess that means that you think he will never be sorry for what he did.
I had the same reaction.
Sounds like another pig-in-a-poke to me.
I see him not so much as a whore, as out to get everything he can for his constituents, and devil take the details. You *know* there is going to be a whole hell of a lot of pork headed his way.
“You Gotta Pump Those Numbers Up, Those Are Rookie Numbers!”
$3 trillion is small ball, we need a $3 gazillion.
Guess the check cleared.
In others words, will use more borrowed money.
No biggie, it’s only Monopoly Money printed in China.
With that vile expulsion of stinking gas, there is no need to read any further...
Fake News & Propaganda Alert!
“boycotting the senate runoffs in GA was such a brilliant idea.”
Have you read about Georgia elections? 100 percent of Republicans could have voted and the Dems would have won. Say hello to the Easter Bunny for me.
that is factually incorrect, and a little bit retarded.
