All the politicians in Congress live a privileged life.
Also 52% of the members of Congress are millionaires.
All the politicians in Congress live a privileged life.His response is not surprising.
Manchin was born into a very wealthy family and has lived only a life of privilege.
Joe Manchin Privately Told Colleagues Parents Use Child Tax Credit Money On Drugs
The West Virginia senator just killed Democrats' agenda. In private negotiations, he questioned whether the poorest Americans would spend financial aid wisely.www.huffpost.com
Amazing. The poors are too stupid to have nice things.
But, the rich! Give them more and it will trickle down
Drug Crisis Worsens in WV

In March 2017, a House of Representatives subcommittee held a hearing on the drug problem in America. The hearing focused on what committee members identified as the “next wave in the opioid crisis,”—fentanyl.
Later that year, the Drug Enforcement Administration issued an intelligence report identifying drug abuse and trafficking, particularly of opioids, as “a critical threat to West Virginia.” The report said, “the state had the highest rate of overdose deaths in the country in 2015, approximately 42 for every 100,000 people.”
Tragically, the situation has only gotten worse… much worse.
The Washington Post reports this week that preliminary government figures for the 12-month period ending in April put the drug overdose death rate in the state at 90 per 100,000, twice what it was six years ago, and the highest rate in the nation.
According to the figures, between April of 2020 and this past April, an average of four people were dying every day in West Virginia from a drug overdose. Nationally, 275 people died on average each day during that period from an overdose.
LOL. You are going to provide a poll from a far left-wing think tank founded by activist Sean McElwee.
I got an idea, do a bill with just those things in it. I bet it passes with bi-partisan support. Democrats and Nancy in particular have got it into their head that they need to go for the brass ring on every single bill and wonder why they are having trouble passing them. Not every bill has to be some omnibus 900 page mockery written by lobbyists.Yeah, I am. Show me a poll where the poverty-stricken people of West Virginia want to pay more for prescription drugs, or support Manchin sabotaging child tax credits and paid leave.

I don't normally agree, but this is so obvious, and expected.Typical left wing hit job...unnamed sources.
But now they are doing it to one of their own.
Let this be a lesson to all Democrats: Toe the Party line or you are next.
What they are missing is the freedom to starve or die due to the lack of affordable health careWhy? What offends you about it if you don't mind me asking. Anything deeper than scourge of socialist collectivism?
What are they missing that we aren't?
The Big Lie is Trump's cash cow.I must say, Trumps like the energizer Bunny, he keeps going and going and going.
Nobody really needs it though. Entitlements are a cancer on the soul.As if a drug addict in W.Va. misusing a payment is a reason to **** over everyone else who needs it, not that that's even his real reason.
What entitlements are "a cancer on the soul"?? SS or Medicare?Nobody really needs it though. Entitlements are a cancer on the soul.
Mandating use of more coal plants would give these people good paying jobs and then entitlements aren’t needed
Unnamed sources are not required in this case. Manchin presented Biden with a new Bill Outline that entirely eliminated the Child Tax Credit from the Bill. There is no conjecture about where Manchin is on that issue. He wants it out and his contention that it should be for 10 years and in a stand-alone Bill is laughably unrealistic. Where are you going to get the votes for a stand-alone child tax credit bill Joe.....from your GOP buddies.....the same ones that just stabbed you in the back on voting rights? GIVE ME A BREAK. You said you had them "in the bag" for your version of voting rights. It appears, not so much Joe.Liz Cheney hearts this post.
So you want to keep giving money to addicts for more drug purchases. Im not surprised.As if a drug addict in W.Va. misusing a payment is a reason to **** over everyone else who needs it, not that that's even his real reason.

Agreed and many became millionaires after becoming Congressmen because of the flow of dark monies from special interest groups but some are even further removed from understanding normal, everyday people than others.All the politicians in Congress live a privileged life.

61% approval rating for Manchin.Yeah, I am. Show me a poll where the poverty-stricken people of West Virginia want to pay more for prescription drugs, or support Manchin sabotaging child tax credits and paid leave.
nah, the leftwing rich see the poor as useful pawns to justify the elitists' big government schemes.
61% approval rating for Manchin.
Show me a poll where the poverty stricken people of West Virginia want more inflation.
states aren't the tax payers. Big failMeanwhile the biggest recipients of welfare are the red states. And speaking of elites, the entire conservative project is to give tax cuts to the elite ruling class and control over government to corporations. The modern conservative movement was build around this premise, outlined in the Powell Memo. The Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, etc., all come from this right-wing corporate manifesto.
Big government is the bread and butter of conservatism. You're not some sucker who thinks otherwise, are you?
stop the bull poop-tax cuts are not spending.Well, since the inflation was due largely to Trump spending ~2 trillion on the super-rich, excluding the multi-trillion dollar tax cuts, what exactly was the premise of your question?
Just Trump? rightWell, since the inflation was due largely to Trump spending ~2 trillion on the super-rich, excluding the multi-trillion dollar tax cuts, what exactly was the premise of your question?
He really is a Democrat.Amazing. The poors are too stupid to have nice things.
