Manchin? BIDEN’S favorite

Yup! Manchin's fixin' to represent the folks in his state... someday.

Sen. Joe Manchin suggests Child Tax Credit ... - ABC News

https://abcnews.go.com › Politics › story
Dec 20, 2021 — Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., privately questioned whether parents would misuse Child Tax Credit payments to buy drugs, according to three sources ...

West Virginia faith leaders call for permanent expansion of ...

https://www.wsaz.com › 2022/05/24 › west-virginia-faith-...
May 24, 2022 — “In the bishops pastoral, from 1986, Economic Justice for All, ... “Senator Manchin has always supported the existing child tax credit that ..."

"...Other economists disagreed. But even if you think the credit mildly disincentivizes work, it still substantially reduces poverty. I’d argue that even if Corinth and Meyer are right, the policy was still worthwhile.

So why does Manchin oppose it anyway? I suspect it has a lot to do with being a Democratic senator from a state that Donald Trump won in 2016 and 2020 by about 40 points. Manchin barely hung onto his seat in 2018 during a heavily Democratic year, and it’s understandable he doesn’t want to go too far out on a limb for a big government spending program. Millions of West Virginians benefited from the policy, but it’s ultimately a very conservative state skeptical of liberal policy initiatives. (Not to mention voting against your immediate economic interests is pretty common — plenty of wealthy people in blue states like California and Connecticut vote for candidates who’ll raise their taxes.).."
 
I'm not surprised that you need to be taught this, but a public opinion poll isn't economic statistics.
Most importantly, an opinion poll CHANGES NOTHING.

Maybe conservative thinks gas prices are inversely tied to polls?

Yes, but the GOP mayor of Ely didn't endorse Manchin. Conservative is confused
 
You are so bereft of any content that you quoted me twice, to post this same BS link that I already threw back in your face and didn't even bother to address anything I said here. What makes you think I was in Saudi Arabia for four years? You love to make very personal posts about other posters so, I'd like to know where the **** you come up with that bullshit smear.
You aren't the issue Biden economics are as are his incompetent results. Always diverting, promote the indefensible

No they are tied to supply and demand and Biden's war on fossil fuel. Who is Biden's puppeteer

You are the one who brought me into it by trying to say I lived in Saudi Arabia for 4 years therefore my opinons aren't credible enough. Why would you like like that then run away when I ask why you did that?

I'm waiting for you to address why instead of talking about the topic, you made a personal post about me that was a flat out lie.

None and the results show it. Living in Saudi doesn't give you much credibility here as you support the D ignoring the current D results. I grew up a D but this D doesn't represent anything I support. Ask not what your country can do for you
You didn't spend time in Saudi like 4 years? I am not the issue liberal economics is as is your economic ignorance

All a lie. Why would you personally attack me like that then run away when I ask where you got this notion from?

Then when I asked you why you got personal with me, you have the actual gall to say:
You aren't the issue
:ROFLMAO:

I don't run I made a mistake but that doesn't change your economic ignorance as it seems you don't live in this country. The results are on display, the Biden incompetence is on display, TDS is on display and you will see the results in November

I don't live in this country?

Are you seriously doubling down on your lie about me not living in this country in the exact same sentence where you admitted that you lied when you said I didn't live in this country? I mean seriously, what in the actual **** is wrong with you?

The results are on display, the Biden incompetence is on display, TDS is on display and you will see the results in November
The economy is booming and we're near full employment. Now here's where you dodge all that and post an opinion poll.

The economy is booming for who? 8.5% inflation has destroyed wage increases and liberal economics spends taxpayer dollars adding fuel to the fire. I can only assume you a clueless to reality. What is it about liberalism thar creates your kind of loyalty and ignorance

That's right. You run away from your lies. And from the results.
 
Why? it is amazing how loyal some people are to the D without any ability to explain what today's D stands for and are doing to this country. Such loyalty and so sad
Really? I think democrats stand for universal healthcare, increasing the minimum wage and enhancing other worker benefits, cooperation with our allies, standing up to Putin, environmental protection. In short, the array of progressive benefits from the last century thru the ACA.

Not federal taxpayers responsibility. Where did you learn it was someone else's responsibility to pay for yours.

States control the minimum wage

Biden is a foreign policy disaster as you put too much emphasis on so called allies

States have EPA

You keep striking out on civics, economics and the Constitution
 
Riling up the base.
 
There are two key differences. One is that mid-terms have a huge tendency to oppose the incumbent president's party. That WAS trump, but IS Biden. Second, the 2018 elections we all about a referendum on trump; these mid-terms have high inflation, high gas prices under Biden motiving a lot of voters. Polls show a 7 point lead for a generic Democrat which is good, but not a revolution.


No it's not a revolution and I never said one was going to happen.

You underestimate women.

Most women know that economies come and go. That a bad economy will get better.

We also know that without throwing republicans out of office, women will never regain our reproductive freedom and body autonomy.

You don't understand that women will no longer just roll over and allow our rights to be taken from us.

You don't understand that our bodies, our lives, our futures are more important to us than money.

You don't understand that women don't want to die just because their pregnancy went wrong or to be forced to give birth to a rapist's child.

Just look what has happened in a short amount of time. The polls have flipped.

As more reports of 10 year olds who survived rape being forced to travel to other states because they can't get an abortion in their home state, women are going to get even more ticked off.

No mother wants their child to be forced to give birth to a rapist's child.

All women have left is their vote and if you could see my email inbox, you would know women are organizing. Women are super ticked off and women are going to vote in November.

I don't make predictions. Only fools do that but I would not be surprised if we see the democrats not just hold onto control of congress but gain seats.

We will have to wait to see what happens.

Such ignorance of the SC ruling, why?

I always thought the body was owned by God and a gift to you. Take your issue to Him
 
Waiting for you to address the issues and OP
The OP is Democrats win. When will you address the facts on the ground?

I showed you how people, around here anyway, are doing just fine. Not liberal elites. Not Democrats. Normal everyday people. You know why prices are high? Because people are paying them. Obviously, they're not high enough to cause these people to suffer.

Yes, everybody hates Biden. So what? I don't care what everybody else does. Everybody around here is relatively happy. Not a poll on anyone's mind. Why aren't you like us?
 
You underestimate women.

No, I don't. I look at facts. The reaction by women to the current situation including the repeal of Roe is reflected in polls. I look at it accurately.


You don't understand that women will no longer just roll over and allow our rights to be taken from us.

Then show me the poll showing all women committed to vote for Democrats. Instead of the more moderate increase that is the fact.

You don't understand that our bodies, our lives, our futures are more important to us than money.

You don't understand that you wanting to project your opinion beyond the real group who shares it to exaggerate it to all women is inaccurate.

You don't understand that women don't want to die just because their pregnancy went wrong or to be forced to give birth to a rapist's child.

I look forward to all women voting for Democrats as you claim. Oh, can we put money on that?

I don't make predictions. Only fools do that but I would not be surprised if we see the democrats not just hold onto control of congress but gain seats.

We will have to wait to see what happens.

You don't understand that all your "you don't understand" comments were false in implying something other than what my post said, and this later position is more accurate and doesn't disagree with my post.
