Dynamic Duo: Manchin Is Loath To Spend, Sinema Resists Raising Taxes 

Insiders tell me that Senator Manchin is going to have a seat at that table. It s mostly going to be leadership people, not budget people. so we’ll see. The inside betting is that there s no way the Senate-House reconciliation discussion is going to be resolved this week. No way.

So that means Speaker Pelosi might not make good on her promise to so-called House moderates to pass the infrastructure bill Thursday. They could, but there will be loud yapping from the far-left progressives about all of their government welfare programs, which, of course, have no workfare or education requirements.

So I d say that the Speaker s got a problem. I d also say that she s a tough infighter who won t vote on anything until she has the votes on the floor to win. So stay tuned.

Meanwhile, some basic arithmetic. Joe Manchin is at between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion on the spending side. So he s said publicly, which is way lower than the $3.5 trillion media bill and still way, way lower than the $4.3 trillion coming out of the House Budget Committee. Just saying. It looks like a problem to me. And you know, I m really good with these problems, because I don t want any of it to pass. Save America, kill the bill.
