the speech is amazing and talks about a bunch of great things that the government could do to help people, which is probably why a GOPete loyalist thinks it sucks

Sinema wasnât tanking this bill either, people were just being idiots again
they did have to gut the taxes part of it though for her and her pals but we kinda knew that going in
Looks like itâs just Bernie blocking it now

No way Bernie blocks it.
Heâs already a yes
Yes but considering it might be the last piece of Democratic legislation in our lifetimes it doesnât really come close to meeting what is required of the moment.

It is good if we can actually spend the clean energy money. My worry is the fossil fuel provisions kick in up front and then some combo of lol Supreme Court and the â25 Republican government short circuits the climate provisions so we donât get the full benefit. This is yet another piece of legislation that could really use court reform to solidify it.
Iâm going to need to see reporting that Manchin is on board with the changes.
I love you, man

well they had to take out the taxes for sinemaâs rich as hell pals but
they got in stock buyback tax, those were some bullshit so thatâs something
youâre not going to get a perfect bill with this senate makeup on about anything but thereâs good things in here
It would make no sense that he back tracks based on these changes. He has his win for WV coal and everything else he cares about.
would have to be quite the public backlash in WV for him to do that at this point I think
which theyâve got 36 hours
even fox news is going after manchin a bit so weâll see
lol stock buyback tax thatâs so stupid but whatever

Not stupid at all, you must be confusing it with a stock buyback ban.
Right now, dividends and stock buybacks are functionally the same thing but buybacks get superior tax treatment. 1% buyback tax just evens the scales a bit.
The bad stuff is in the next bill right? Whatâs to stop a few reasonable Democrats from tanking that? Is it just going to be so corporate friendly that Republicans will vote for it?
You mean the House version?
Now that the Senate has approved the House progressives should say they will only vote yes on the bill if leadership promises no vote on changing fossil fuel permitting or make clear to leadership that repealing any permitting changes are the price of debt ceiling voted in 2023.
