The fact that anyone believes that this bill won't raise taxes or make inflation worse is absolutely ludicrous

[rb-today]

Every politician has their "price". They finally found Manchin's.

[sw]

Joe Manchin just proved that everyone can be bought in one way or another. Just because he made one or two good decisions for the country, doesn't mean that every decision he makes us good for the rest of the country Jessica.

If you charge businesses more money. They will simply pass that extra cost on to we the people. It may not technically be a tax. But it is a cost the American people will be charged with. So how has this helped the citizens?

When Biden was asked to tell “ the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. “…. he gave three different answers.

[joebagodonuts]

This is an inflation reduction act, the same way that the Affordable Health Care make health insurance affordable and the same way the Patriot Act supported the Bill of Rights.

[peewee]

God Bless Kennedy for pointing out closing loopholes ARE a tax increase. If they said tomorrow that they'll going to end the child tax credit "loophole", it is still a tax increase.

Ah borrowing more to get out of debt... been there my friends. Luckily I was only a 25 year old kid and not running a country where 300 million people depend on me.

[JasonRyanWilson]

Were in a recession. How in God's green earth will spending more money not hurt the people drawing less than 30k a year social security?

[sheldonkerr]

I see the FBI finally found that dirt on Manchin.

[juggahknot]

haha! Manchin said, "Honest to god". Anytime you hear a politician say god, they're talking about the god they worship. money and power

[Highlander]

Wow this is just adding more fuel to the fire

[PhilipFear]

Once a DemocRAT always a DemocRAT, and Manchin is proving it's true....

[Yooper]

Will Manchin resign if he is wrong? I'm sure Brett will protect him. Can someone just shut Jessica up? I think her glasses are the wrong prescription because she can't see what is really going on.

[GoldTop]

George Carlin was right. We don’t have representatives, we have owners. “They’ll get it all from you sooner or later.” - George

[jeffreygunn]

Nah...raising corporate taxes won't cause prices to go up. Corporations will just eat those costs, right?
Maybe on Bizarro World...

[tammyjohnson]

Bret actually surprised me with the Manchin interview. He pushed back and played past comments from Joe. Bret usually goes easy on Dems.

[gbala]

FOX have not had President Trump on for more than 100 days. It's a shame. If they don't cover him in the next 15 days, I am cancelling FOX!

[evilenergy]

Can't trust these people wasting people's money

[starxvii]

Those charging stations cast a pretty penny for a full charge
