Senator Joe Manchin should just threaten to move to the Republican Party and vote with them. That would end the BS temper tantrums of the extreme liberals in House who keeps threatening Senators Manchin and Sinema, as if they are in full control? Not even close. Senator Manchin has already said, they do not have his vote and holding the infrastructure bill hostage will not result in him supporting the Build Back Better reconciliation bill. https://www.yahoo.com/news/manchin-...pressing-pause-on-biden-agenda-194414012.html
boooo, fucking booooo translation: "We succumb to Manchin's demands knowing full well only infra bill will clear the Senate" Progressive Caucus Chair Jayapal To Manchin: "We Intend To Pass Both Bills" Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal told CNN Monday afternoon that the House Democrats will let President Biden "handle" Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin and vote yes on both the "Build Back Better" bill and the bipartisan infrastructure bill this week. "We've got to trust the president," Jayapal said. "I'm letting the President have those conversations. The President came to the caucus and he assured us that he would get 51 votes in the Senate for this deal that he has been negotiating with Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema," she said. "We trust the President that he will get 51 votes for this," she said.
We have exactly one month for them to get this passed, or the US will default on it's debt. If that happens, Trump's trade war effects on the market will seem like pimples popped. Remember in 2018 when Powell tried to raise interest rate, before there was ever the idea of "tapering"? Markets did not like that. We have double-whammy coming down the pike. They better get something done. I do not care what anyone's TA charts show, because they are inadequate to predict the effect of a first-ever event as big as a default. Whether it is fundamentally correct does not matter. It is what the WORLD perceives that matters. These DC assholes are playing with your retirement funds. Do not abide them.
It's disgusting. the problem is money in politics. Everyone knows the solution but it's unattainable because the same people who are bought would need to vote for the change.
Sinema before the senate: "I will vote to negotiate drug prices" Sniema now: "Scrap the drug negotiation provision from the reconciliation bill or I'm not voting for it"
The Pharma drug market is an interesting quark of capitalism Back in the day Pharma would amortize the R&D in the cost of a new drug Once they created an international market the 3rd world could not afford the drugs So a system was set up to where the wealthiest countries would bear the cost of R&D and the other markets would pay only cost of production plus.... Now no one will pay R&D so expect the pipeline to thin out
I disagree this was rushed (though the purpose of CNN's show would point otherwise) but Sirota was spot on
