Inflation Reduction Act: 8/12/22 - $740B Bill PASSES, Biden signs it into law!

[mastermind]

I understood the strategy going in, but would it have been better to break this into a series separate bills?

No, because they are trying to pass this through reconciliation and they only have one crack at that.

The better strategy would have been to make one mega bill with both the goofy infrastructure plan for privatizing roads and the current reconciliation bill. That probably passes.

It's been interesting to see how the narrative has changed on Sinema.

The media doesn't give her the same cover that they give Manchin, and they'll even have other Dems on to shyt on her with no pushback.

I don't know if I've ever seen a politician make such a blatant heel turn she's at WWE levels at this point

This bill has been dead for at least a month

Manchin punking the shyt out of the whole Democratic caucus.

And nobody seems to care that Manchin's own voting rights bill, that he purposely drafted because HR1/S1 was 'too partisan,' didn't even get a single Republican vote in the Senate.

If the media were honest, they'd be asking him about that all day. Where's Manchin's personal stenographer Manu Raju at?

And if the Dems had any balls, they'd at least try to use that as some leverage. This just blew a giant hole into his whole 'bipartisanship' spiel.

Manchin is trolling because he knows if he votes no it won’t effect him politically. And he knows Biden has been soft on him. Dude is a bozo. His wack electoral bill had no Republican support not even from “moderate” Mitt Romney. He is a Republican at heart. He doesn’t want any reform just maintaining the status quo. This country is finished.

Why would they focus on that bill when the reality is that his bill that passed the senate will die in the house if he doesn't play ball.

He already said he's willing to walk away with nothing, indicating he doesn't care if that bill passes or not.

And he'll have tons of cover because progressives will get the blame for tanking the 'historic' infrastructure bill.

He'll get the blame for tanking it, because if he dies he'll be front and center on the camera talking about inflation or something

Biden p*ssy if he don’t indict Manchin’s daughter.

Not that Merrick Garland would do it anyway if he asked.
