President Joe Biden is getting seriously pissed at West Virginia senator Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Arizona senator Karen Sinema (D-AZ).
Manchin could sink the $3.5 trillion extension of the infrastructure package. The package is desperately needed given that the wildfires and Hurricane Ida destroyed lives and property.
Climate change is causing our weather to become more stronger and deadlier.
Manchin and the 50 Republicans are so fucking ignorant. They don't see the hurricane damages or the wildfire damages in most of America's states.
As he toured the Northeast and Louisiana, Biden has said that climate change is no longer a partisan affair. He said that everyone is paying the price of these deadly weather events.
The president said he thinks the damage everyone is seeing, from wildfires in the West to hurricane havoc in the South and Northeast, is turning climate-change skeptics into believers, but years of unheeded warnings from scientists, economists and others mean time for action is short.
“The threat is here. It is not getting any better,” Biden said in New York. “The question is can it get worse. We can stop it from getting worse.”
Biden sounded a similar theme before he toured Manville, New Jersey, also ravaged by severe flooding caused by Ida.
“Every part of the country, every part of the country is getting hit by extreme weather,” Biden said during a briefing with officials in Somerset County, including Gov. Phil Murphy.
He said the threat from wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and other extreme weather must be dealt with in ways that will lessen devastating effects of climate change.
“We can’t turn it back very much, but we can prevent it from getting worse,” he said. “We don’t have any more time.”
The natural disasters have given Biden an opening to push Congress to approve his plan to spend $1 trillion to fortify infrastructure nationwide, including electrical grids, water and sewer systems, to better defend against extreme weather. The legislation has cleared the Senate and awaits a House vote.
Biden also talked up a side benefit of the plan, the “good-paying jobs” he said it will create.
On Tuesday, the White House asked Congress for an additional $24 billion in disaster aid to cover the costs of Ida and other destructive weather events.
Manchin's demands to pause the spending is not pleasing Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). They ain't got time to have Democrats go wishy-washy on the infrastructure bill.
"We're moving full-speed ahead. ... We want to keep going forward. We think getting this done is so important," Schumer told reporters during a conference call on Wednesday.
Manchin, during a West Virginia Chamber of Commerce event and separate Wall Street Journal op-ed, said Democrats should slow down, pointing to concerns about the debt and inflation as well as unrelated issues including the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
"Instead of rushing to spend trillions on new government programs and additional stimulus funding, Congress should hit a strategic pause on the budget-reconciliation legislation. A pause is warranted because it will provide more clarity on the trajectory of the pandemic, and it will allow us to determine whether inflation is transitory or not," Manchin wrote in the op-ed.
But congressional Democratic leaders have laid an ambitious timeline to get Biden's spending bill to his desk. Schumer has set a Sept. 15 deadline for roughly a dozen congressional committees to be finished drafting their portions of the $3.5 trillion bill.
House Democrats are also expected to take up the Senate-passed $1 trillion bill by Sept. 27, under a deal crafted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and key moderates. But because progressives are warning they won't support the Senate bill without the reconciliation package also going to the floor, it puts pressure on Democrats to also have the $3.5 trillion plan also ready for a vote.
Schumer stuck by that timeline during Wednesday's call, telling reporters: "We are moving forward on this bill."
In order to get the bill through the Senate, Schumer will need total unity from all 50 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus, giving Manchin leverage to make demands for changes to the party's strategy.
Manchin didn't specify how long he thinks his party should hit "pause." But he's also taken issue with the $3.5 trillion top-line figure.
Manchin has said he can't support the price tag, and Axios reported on Tuesday that the highest he's willing to go is $1.5 trillion.
A spokeswoman for Manchin didn't immediately return a request for comment about the discussions. Earlier this year, Manchin indicated that he was open to a figure of between $1 trillion to $2 trillion.
It is very popular with Americans and of course once passed, Republicans and Manchin will claim credit for the projects coming to their states. Then bullshit about why they refused to back something that could help everyone.
When you die, money isn't going to be an issue! These idiots complain about the debt and deficits when Democrats are in power. Never hear them complain when Republicans like Washed Up 45 spend recklessly and drove the debt up to $35 trillion in his mere four years.
Democrats like Manchin better do something. Cause the Democrats are willing to let him retire or be defeated in the general. They would offset the loss with hopes in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
