'[Sen_JoeManchin] did everything POTUS and SenSchumer could have wanted of him. He either did it thinking he could play dumb to his constituents, or he was always dumb for real, completely unaware of what was happening,' ZacharyFaria writes.
Manchin claims he is concerned about the national debt. When he and President Joe Biden met to discuss the Inflation Reduction Act, he said, “we agreed that the bill was designed to pay down our national debt and shore up America’s energy security.” But now, “instead of implementing the law as intended, unelected ideologues, bureaucrats, and appointees seem determined to violate and subvert the law to advance a partisan agenda that ignores both energy and fiscal security.
This is the pathetic conclusion to the master class in political incompetence that Manchin has put on under Biden’s presidency. The Inflation Reduction Act was simply Biden’s Build Back Better bill with a new paint job. It was always a climate and spending bill using legitimate concerns about inflation as a mere pretext to become law. Republicans saw this coming. What's Manchin's excuse?
