On Wednesday’s broadcast of West Virginia MetroNews’ “Talkline with Hoppy Kercheval,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) stated that it is difficult to justify his plans to vote for the omnibus spending package given his past concerns about debt and that he is pleased with the over $225 million in earmarks West Virginia gets under the bill.
Host Hoppy Kercheval asked, “Congress is scheduled to take action on this omnibus spending bill. It’s a big old bill, 4,155 pages. It’s about a thousand pages longer than the previous year. It totals $1.65 trillion. And from what I read, it would add another $500 billion to the debt. You, many times on this program, have talked about being a deficit and debt hawk, an inflation hawk, so, A. Will you support this bill? And B. If so, how do you justify that with trying to be a budget hawk?”

More like a debt cock. Buuuuuuuuck, buck, buck, buck. Buuuuuuck!
Spending bills passed by a Lame Duck Congress should null and void as a matter of principle. It is just a gigantic way to get in some last minute looting.
He admits he’s a whore.
All West Virginian voters care about is getting their pork, that’s why they kept electing Sheets. They say they are “Republicans”, but it’s “Pork Uber Alles” with them.
From debt hawk to debt whore.
Ditto, Alaska.
So are his voters.
Still going to vote for it though you POS.
Say bye, bye in 24.
His chance to have more memorial projects named after him with goal of surpassing KKK Byrd some day.
Great job WVa
But then again, they depend on a lot of those earmarks.
They screwed him over and he still will vote for this pile of sewer slime.
What a complete whore.
Like a crack addict depends on finding their next fix.
How could the US possibly have survived without the 17th Amendment? /super-sarc
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
It floors me that these people can say this with a straight face.
"We have to get the debit under control but I have to vote on this so my state can get the earmarks it's due." BULLSHIT!!
They are all in on it including McConnell and GOP, we again have been duped by these two faced bastards
Manchin and the rest of the con artists in CONgress are perfectly content spending money that belongs to generations of Americans who haven’t even been born yet.
True.. but he got his union cronies paid. WV politics at it finest.
I lived their when he co authored the most aggressive anti 2A legislation under Obama’s reign.
Then I watched WV corruptocrrats line up and vote for him in their “real Tree” hunting clothes.
