I have to admit, Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) has quite the mean streak in him.
Manchin has been on a tear ever since Schumer and Biden pulled a fast one on him.
He continued his revenge tour by siding with Speaker McCarthy and Republicans on the debt ceiling negotiations.
Sorry, Joe
McCarthy is willing to give Joe Biden a $1.5 trillion extension on the debt ceiling.
In turn, McCarthy wants to see Joe Biden’s ridiculous budget trimmed down.
Biden and Dems are taking the stance that the GOP is cutting things like police funding and veterans care, but that is not the case.
They are considering cuts to Biden’s budget overall cuts, even when the amount of money exceeds what the previous budget allowed.
Manchin is not buying Biden’s act, however.
He stated, “While it is reasonable to sincerely disagree with any specific debt ceiling approach, we will achieve a historic default, and the economic whirlwind which follows, if President Biden continues to refuse even to negotiate a reasonable and commonsense compromise.
“To that end, I applaud Speaker McCarthy for putting forward a proposal that would prevent default and rein in federal spending.
“While I do not agree with everything proposed, the fact of the matter is that it is the only bill actually moving through Congress that would prevent default.”
Manchin continued, “America is facing a historic economic crisis brought on by an abject failure to address our exploding national debt, chronic inflation, a looming recession, and the more immediate need to raise the debt ceiling.
“For the sake of the country, I urge President Biden to come to the table, propose a plan for real and substantive spending cuts and deficit reduction, and negotiate now.
“Failing to do so may score political points with the extremes of the Democratic Party, but make no mistake, it will be the American people — and our nation — who will pay the ultimate price if partisan politics continues to define our politics and policies.”
Things are not looking good for Joe!
