Sen. Joe Manchin this weekend effectively killed Joe Biden’s landmark legislation, the multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better Act.
Once heralded as the Democrat Party’s flagship bill on social policy and climate, public in-fighting and defunding recently relegated it to the last beacon of hope for Biden to salvage his fledgling agenda and reverse the catastrophic trajectory of this country.
Instead, BBB now lies dead in the water alongside a crippling wake of broken campaign promises, such as student loan forgiveness and a plan for COVID. Worse, the main things that Biden and the Democrat Party have successfully delivered to the American people since taking office are historic inflation, a supply chain crisis, rising crime and surging illegal immigration.
Over the past 48 hours, frenzied and frothing liberal pundits have saturated news outlets and slammed Manchin as being single-handedly responsible for killing their decades-promised paid family medical and leave act and enhanced child tax credit imbedded deep within the BBB legislation.
