Episode notes
Manchin's BBB Skepticism
- Joe Manchin's skepticism towards Build Back Better grows as inflation worsens and the CBO scores the bill's potential cost at $3 trillion.
- Manchin opposes such large unpaid-for bills that increase national debt, aligning with his constituents' views.
Misleading BBB Support Claims
- Bernie Sanders' claim of overwhelming support for the Build Back Better Act is misleading, focusing on individual provisions' popularity while ignoring the overall cost.
- He overlooks that voters consider the total bill's impact, including tax increases and inflationary consequences.
Biden's Inflation Strategy
- Biden should reorient his presidency to address inflation directly, rather than pursuing unrelated bills.
- Taking credit for minor gas price drops creates backlash when prices inevitably rise again.
