President Biden on Thursday voiced his support of the deal Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reached on a reconciliation bill that includes modest provisions on climate investments and lowering prescription drug prices.
First! This is where I’m supposed to post a picture of my cat, right? Kind of hard because she’s got her chin on top of my hand so I can’t get to the mouse.
After acknowledging that the agreement is a “compromise” and “far from perfect,”
Sounds like a game of cat and mouse to me.
Let’s do it.
Still not hearing anything about Sinema. Even if she plays ball this time around, we’re one car crash or stroke away from falling short of 50 votes. Do it now.
Also, even if they vote yes, Mansion and Enema can go fuck themselves, right along with all 50 goopers.
I won’t be popping any corks until Manchin and Kyrsten “Hot Topic Reject” Sinema both vote yes and the bill moves to the House and it then heads to President Biden’s desk.
“What’s happening here is that Manchin and Schumer have reached an agreement that is absolutely horrendous and totally unnecessary given the inflation the Democrats have already created,” the Kentucky Republican said in a brief interview.
“Now they want to pass job-killing taxes, as well as install socialist price controls, which will mean fewer people benefiting from cures. So that’s the issue that we’re headed toward, and it’s an unmitigated disaster for the country and we’re going to fight it as hard can,” he said.
Fairly lame and untruthful Mitch.
“During a press conference addressing ‘The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022,’ Biden said he spoke with Schumer and Manchin earlier in the day to offer his support for their agreement…”
He who controls the language controls the debate.
(“The GOP’s Midterm Talking Point Can Pound Sand Act of 2022”)
It’s hard for me to believe Schumer and Manchin would be celebrating it with Biden now joining in, if they don’t already know she’ll support it. You don’t go this far unless you know you have the votes.
I agree
I have much to learn about kabuki theater, but I’ll take it.
Yay! WaPo:
House passes bill to subsidize U.S.-made semiconductor chips in win for Biden
The House on Thursday voted to pass the $280 billion Chips and Science Act, a bill that would subsidize domestic semiconductor manufacturing and invest billions in science and technology innovation, in a bid to strengthen the United States’ competitiveness and self-reliance in what is seen as a keystone industry for economic and national security.
Love the headline!
B/t/w…
Jayapal–months ago–went through some tough times with BBB only to have it scuttled with the Senate/House snafu in trying to get it passed. She is willing to make her stand at this particular time, knowing the danger in these pre-vote waters. I respect her and also take her stand as indication of some strength in our corner
Right. That’s why the BBB plan was passed with their vote…
What a refreshing change.
Wait, we’ve got nothing to bitch about???
There’s a cloud in the sky right now!
After acknowledging that the agreement is a “compromise” and “far from perfect,” Biden said progress is made through compromises as he threw his support behind the deal and urged Congress to pass it.
… … … … …
It’s a compromise between democrats and a guy who claims to be a democrat but who usually shits on what democrats want to do. The goobers are over in the corner plotting revenge.
