14 thoughts on “Manchin’s ‘no’ vote on Build Back Better bill undercuts Biden’s climate agenda

  1. Republicans only care about deficits when there is a Democratic president. The impact on the deficit never stopped Republicans from passing a tax cut , especially since their tax cuts are based on the lie that trickle down economics work…

    1. Inflation is close to 10%, more realistically 20-30% annually if you ignore the manipulated basket of goods in the CPI.

  2. Boy, does this article testify to the left-leaning agenda of The Washington Post. You’d think the country was going to collapse the day after this pork-barrel bill fails to pass. (Is Chicken Little the shadow Managing Editor of The Washngton Post?)

    1. Bob, continually blaming the source is just as annoying as (name any NBA player) who continually whines and cries to the referee instead of just being quiet and playing basketball….

  3. Why does this WAPO article continue to perpetuate the lie that “1” senator is holding up this legislation? Is the truth not that “51” votes are killing this legislation? Media is DEAD! I remember when it reported facts and not propaganda.

    1. Republicans wouldn’t vote for a tax cut if the Democrats proposed it. That’s not how they roll. They would rather vote NO than be accused of being a RINO and getting primaried. Their loyalty is to their party, not their country. They don’t have anything to offer but tax cuts for their rich donors and abortion restrictions to keep the evangelical sheep in line.

      I mean, they didn’t vote for the Affordable Care Act and the Democrats fashioned it from one of their own healthcare proposals. Look at how they crucified John McCain for not supporting their “repeal and replace” sham. (Where is the Republican alternative to the ACA, anyway?) Look at who they punished for the insurrection on January 6th – Liz Cheney for not going along with the Big Lie.

      It’s a heck of a time to be a conservative voter with loyalties to the United States of America.

  4. Obviously, this is another IBJ and other media’s one sided approach to try and sway public opinion away from the huge debt we are incurring knowing full well this bill has a $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that has nothing to do with the preservation of and our responsibility to our planet.

  5. All of these do-gooders on climate change ought to expand their focus to include China. I hear nothing about demanding that polluting country to change.
