Here come the flip flop from Manchin, guy is a broken record.

President Biden will meet separately Wednesday with Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to hear their concerns about Democrats’ plans to pass a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, according to sources familiar with the plans.

Sinema will meet with the president Wednesday morning while Manchin will sit down with him later in the day.

Both moderate Democrats have balked at Democratic leaders’ top-line spending target of $3.5 trillion, which would be paid for in part by raising taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals earning more than $400,000 annually. LINK

They’re both going to lose their seats in 2024 and are holding out for as much payouts as they can while they’re still in office.

Raise taxes on the businesses that people rely on every day for things like food and basic services. But yeah we aren’t raising YOUR taxes.

Wait, this is typical bullshite reporting we don’t even recognize anymore.

It’s just people who earn over $400k not “wealthy people earning over $400k”. Why the need to distort and add superfluous info that is not true?

I assume Obama and Rice will be dialing in to the meeting?

If Manchin had any real spine at all he would reply back that he does not have time for a meeting like this unless the President is going to change his demands. He has been very public about his demands. They are not a secret that Biden needs to have a talk about.

You understand they could funnel each of them 100 million and not really effect the amount the dems get to give to their friends.

Hell, they can just roll it into the price. 3.7 trillion instead of 3.5 trillion.

Would be interesting if the FBI Director Wray happened to attend the meeting also. Either way these 2 are about to cave or have already caved. If they were firm no’s, they wouldn’t meet because it would embarrass Biden if they were not going along. This “meeting” is a photo op so that a public announcement can be made. This is also theater so Manchin and Sinema can say they have changed their minds.
