President Joe Biden's most notable headaches are
- The obstruction from the Karens in the Republican Party.
- Americans who refuse to get vaccinated and wear masks in the middle of a pandemic.
- The attacks on his son Hunter.
- Two Democratic senators from Arizona and West Virginia holding his agenda up.
- One independent senator from Vermont trying to force his agenda on Biden.
- Eight House Democrats who troll on social media instead of work drafting bills.
- 46 House Republicans who appear on television and social media instead of drafting bills.
- The attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris.
- Misinformation from Washed Up 45 and Republicans on the insurrection and election loss.
The American Jobs Plan which is combined package of an infrastructure package and a reconciliation bill to help Americans still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic is close to the finish line. But there's one lawmaker who continues to be in the motherfucking way.
It's frustrating that the Democrats won power can't get nothing done. The Republicans can block everything thanks to the filibuster. The $3.5 trillion bill is a safety net for Americans still struggling in this pandemic. One fucking Democrat could sink this major bill.
Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) said Sunday he will not support the $3.5 trillion price tag for the economic bill that would expand the nation's social safety net and that "there's no way" Congress can meet the timeline set by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to pass it.
"(Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer) will not have my vote on $3.5 (trillion) and Chuck knows that, and we've talked about this," the West Virginia senator told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union."
"We've already put out $5.4 trillion and we've tried to help Americans in every way we possibly can and a lot of the help that we've put out there is still there and it's going to run clear until next year, 2022, so what's the urgency? What's the urgency that we have? It's not the same urgency that we had with the American Rescue Plan. We got that out the door quickly. That was about $2 trillion."
The spending bill proposed by President Joe Biden and his allies in Congress spreads the spending out over 10 years as opposed to the COVID stimulus plans that Manchin referred to, which were more immediate injections of cash.
According to CNN, the West Virginia senator threw cold water on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) agenda.
Manchin said he wants to slow down the timeline, as he suggested in his Wall Street Journal op-ed earlier this month, to see where payments for the Covid-19 stimulus bill are going and figure out what areas to target for expanding the social safety net.
"So we have done an awful lot, and there's still an awful lot of people that need help but there are still 11 million jobs that aren't filled right now. Eight million people are still unemployed. Something's not matching up. Don't you think we ought to hit the pause and find out? The vulnerability that we have right now, we don't know what happened with this Covid, it's awful coming back the way it is with a vengeance," he said. "We don't know about inflation, we know it's running rampant right now, I can tell you in West Virginia inflation is running rampant, and on top of that, the challenges we're going to have, geopolitical challenges, shouldn't we be prepared?"
He added that he doesn't believe passing the economic bill by the September 27 deadline laid out by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi can be done.
"There's no way we can get this done by the 27th if we do our job," he said. "There's so much differences that we have here and so much, there's so much apart from us to where we are as far as our I'm giving you different things, I've been talking, I've been working with people, I'm going to talk to people, that makes no sense at all," he said.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is writing the bill, said Sunday it is "not acceptable" that Manchin won't support the bill. Sanders and Sen. Angus King (I-VT) caucus with the Democrats giving it the 50 seat majority.
"I don't think it's acceptable for the President, to the American people or to the overwhelming majority of the people in the Democratic caucus," Sanders told Bash in a separate interview. "Look, we worked with Sen. Manchin to pass the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which was enormously consequential and helpful to working class families in getting us out of the economic disaster that befell us as a result of Covid. I believe we're going to all sit down and work together and come up with a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, which deals with the enormously unmet needs of working families."
Asked if he was willing to give the bill more time for consideration, the Budget chairman said a "few days here and there doesn't matter," adding there is a "sense of urgency."
Pelosi last month acquiesced to moderate Democrats and agreed to hold a vote by September 27 on the infrastructure bill. But if the reconciliation proposal hasn't passed the Senate by then, it's unclear whether they would have the votes to push through the infrastructure bill and send it to Biden's desk.
