“Build Back Better” plan will not be supported by Senator Joe Manchin
The nearly $ 2 trillion “Build Back Better” legislation, which is actually worth 4 trillion, has received a clear no from West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin.
"I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can't. I've tried everything humanly possible. I can't get there," Manchin said. "This is a no."

Despite some advantages included in the legislation, the climate agenda could not pass by a trailer and be paid out of the pocket of taxpayers.
In making claims about the popularity or lack thereof of "Build Back Better", keep in mind that most Americans have no idea what it is. Google search traffic on BBB (or the more amorphous "spending bill") is MUCH lower than for ACA/Obamacare when that was being debated. pic.twitter.com/3sK8gUT0GR
