Why do only a 5 trillion bill? If 5 trillion is good, then 10 trillion would be really good.

The democratic party (the party as a whole, not necessarily individual voters) pretending it cares about coal workers is also lol.

If that health coverage thing needs to be extended, and that's really important to democrats, they can simply draft a bill that is strictly for that.

Instead we draft these huge fucking bills with everything and the kitchen sink in it, mostly stuffed with pork. Then pull out little parts like this that might actually be helpful, and say, look see if you don't vote for this bill, you don't care about X group.

The problem isn't Manchin, the problem is the bill itself. And it's just the bill process in general, that is the deep problem.

No way people that vote on these bills even know what's in all them. Thousands of pages, how could you.
