Joe Manchin reportedly wants a number of changes to President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better act before he’ll vote for it: Senator Joe Manchin wants a 'lot of changes' made to the Build Back Better act. t.co — Newsmax (@newsmax) December 7, 2021 According to reports, the West Virginia Dem wants to “pare down provisions in the House-passed BBB package, including its paid family leave program, a methane fee on emissions, a plan to tax billionaires and an expansion of Medicare to cover hearing aids”: "Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-West Virginia, has sought to pare down provisions in the House-passed BBB package, including its paid family leave program, a methane fee on emissions, a plan to tax billionaires and an expansion of Medicare to cover hearing aids." t.co — Trip Gabriel (@tripgabriel) December 6, 2021 He also told journo he doesn’t believe the act will reduce inflation, which is the spin from the White House: Manchin not buy argument that BBB would control inflation, a key WH message. “I haven't seen that. I've heard that. I don't, I don't know how you control inflation when there's the first year of spending is going to be quite large,” he said to us. — Manu Raju (@mkraju) December 6, 2021 And he’s in no rush to pass it before Christmas: Manchin not wedded to Xmas deadline but it’s clear it’s a heavy lift to get his backing by then. “I’m not skeptical. I'm just basically a realist. There's an awful lot there and a lot of changes to be done and you're throwing it at a time when it's very vulnerable in our economy” — Manu Raju (@mkraju) December 6, 2021 He’s right: Manchin is dead right. t.co — Conn Carroll (@conncarroll) December 7, 2021 And good luck with this, Dems:Dems weigh forcing Manchin's hand on BBB bill.
