The point is people like Manchin and Sinema. It is extremely hard to get every single Senator on the same page, let alone for massive bills like the ones Biden was able to get passed.

If you can't unify within your own party when you effectively control both branches, then you are doing something wrong. (yes this applies to trump too when he was in office)

Lol, a unfiled party can still have a few swing state Senators that want to sit out a vote because the bill may not be popular back home. That's why you need 52/53 etc.

The poor already pay the least in taxes, get the largest tax refunds, and collect food stamps, housing assistance, and free healthcare. If you give someone 4 grand a month they have no incentive to earn 3 grand and get off welfare. You'll breed a mountain of dependence and run out of othr people's money to pay for it.

What a stupid fuking retard.

If you call Biden's skyrocketing price inflation, continuous failure to meet job growth expectations, nonstop increase in debt and spending, catastrophic failure in foreign policy, open border issues, spiking crime rate in broad daylight, 3 COVID variants - an "ACCOMPLISHMENT", then there's no hope to cure your utter braindead idiocy.

Your "tax cut for the rich" bullsh!t has been disproven multiple times, but please continue to be ignorant and stupid:

Trump was doing fairly fine on national debt (on par with Obummer) until the Democrats forced the job killing state-mandated COVID lockdowns all over the country and berated Trump for trying to keep the economy afloat ("OMG HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT DEATHS!!!")

This is stupid. Then force the companies making billions in profit off their labor to stop handing out welfare applications when these people work for them. Corporate welfare is ok, but again, fuk the poor working people.

If Democrats really cared about the poor, they would create a bill solely to help them. Instead they use the poor to "sell" a bill that is full of BS that doesn't help (and usually works against) the rest of us, while benefiting the rich and large corporations.

You're paid what you're worth, sorry if a bagger at Walmart isn't making a "living wage." Maybe they should find a job that'll pay them more?

What does it for me is how everything that democrats try to do to help those in need involves paying a lot of money to institutions and bureaucracies which are terribly ineffecient and run huge bills doing anything due to missive overhead of excessive overpaid staff.

For instance, when they have these home health people who go to the homes of elderly/hospice people, the PCT's get about $10-12/hr but the contractor they work for is getting about $27-32/hr. That is one I know directly about. Another I've heard is things like Meals on Wheels where it ends up costing $30-50 per meal to deliver about $7 worth of food. The people behind the scenes are doing basically minimum wage level work/skills and getting paid like they are really working. A lot of democrats work in these jobs.

I feel the same way. I am a supporter of social programs, but the inherent waste involved is frustrating. Everybody tries to cash in on the process.

Is Manchin showboating? He said he would support the bill at $1.7t (vs $1.75t). Most likely Brandon has to budge and meet him there.

The latter part is not true. It wont be a significant difference because the child tax credit was increased from $2k to $3600 and they are just prepaying some of the credit. If the amount was left at 2k and they were doing this, then yeah you would see a huge drop in refunds but given it was bumped up, it will be pretty minor

Its an advance but it was also increased from 2k per child to $3600 per child so the refund difference is going to be minor and certainly not half like people think
