Progressive Democrats are furious that the West Virginia senator won’t let them spend $3.5 trillion dollars the country doesn’t have in the reconciliation bill. He's a modern-day progressive wolf hiding under the sheep's clothing of his 'moderate' moniker. Let’s remember, shall we, that Manchin’s "moderate’ proposal is on top of a bipartisan infrastructure bill costing an addition trillion dollars. Should Manchin get his way on $1.5 trillion in additional spending it will not be cause for a sigh of relief. If Manchin is really the moderate he plays himself off as to West Virginia voters he should be urging Biden to scrap the whole thing.
