(3,013 posts)At some point, for our kids and grandkids if not us, the bills we have been racking up, primarily due to tax cuts for the rich over multiple presidencies, are going to come due. I would feel better and it would cut deep into Repub points of resistance if there was a plan outlined for getting back to some sort of fiscal sanity. Bill Clinton made inroads in this and got close to a balanced budget. It doesn't have to be before passing the $1.9 T bill but should be put out there for both immediate political consumption and good long term planning for the country.

As far as Manchin, if he indicates that he will never support it, no matter what, then start his primary already. Garner a progressive candidate to start the ball rolling.
