Biden Sees Path for Economic Plan Despite Manchin Rebuff

President Joe Biden said there’s still a chance he can strike a deal with Senator Joe Manchin to get his Build Back Better economic plan through Congress, despite the West Virginia Democrat’s rejection of the measure.

“I still think there’s a possibility of getting Build Back Better done,” Biden told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.

The president addressed the future of his signature, nearly $2 trillion economic plan for the first time since Manchin surprised the White House on Sunday by announcing he wouldn’t support it. Biden pointed out that Goldman Sachs lowered estimates for the growth of the U.S. economy next year after Manchin’s announcement, and the president again described the legislation as a tool to combat rising inflation.

Everything he has touched has spiraled out of control. Nobody believes he is going to make anything any better anytime.

Easiest plan ever: leave it the fuck alone.

"At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

It's not an "Economic plan". It's a Borrowing Plan!

Imagine having a senile person having a plan

I didn’t hear anything about "a path forward despite Manchin rebuff."

I did seemingly hear him mumble about something he said on tv or maybe not tv.

His 40 EOs in his first 100 days were all about holding a grudge.

Anyone think this administration is done with this opportunity to spend us into oblivion, well just watch. Until American's say no-it won't stop.
