Do you think Sinema will support the new Manchin-Schumer bill?

[LonePirate]

Here are the details of the bill as reported by NBC News' Benjy Sarlin:

Revenue: $739b
-15% domestic corp min tax
-IRS enforcement
-Prescription drug deal
-Carried interest cap

Spending: $433b
-$369b on climate/energy
-ACA extension for 3 years

In the past, Sinema has opposed tax changes like the corporate minimum tax and limitations/elimination of the carried interest loophole. Will she change her mind this time and support this bill since Manchin is on board?

11. We need a tax overhaul

Nobody should have to pay through taxes IRS reenforcement. Seriously everyone under 50K zero taxes, 51-150 5 percent. 151-400 20 percent. The rest 40 percent. How damn hard is that?

2. manchin won't even support it

3. That is a fair point based on past experience. I honestly do think Manchin supports this bill though

It reduces the deficit and it includes two big items he has been receiving a lot of pressure from Dems to support (energy changes and drug pricing). There is a few hundred million in deficit reduction which has been a key talking point from him lately. Plus, the overall bill is not huge. I'm as critical of Manchin as everyone else but I honestly believe he would vote for this bill. Of course, there is always a chance is pulling another Lucy with the football trick on Charlie Brown. I simply think those chances are low this time.

7. I don't think he's backed out of a deal he announced

He's fucked Biden and Schumer when they announced deals, but I don't think he's backed out on one he announced. Same with Sinema (although she hasn't said anything yet on this I don't think). But if she announces it, she votes for it.

4. I've Become Cynical

It wouldn’t surprise me if Manchin only agreed to support the bill because he knows that Sinema won’t.

8. I concur. It's a sad testament on things but I certainly cannot rule out that possibility.

5. No, she's going to take her turn in the spotlight...

to scuttle Dem plans yet again like the disgusting diva she is.

6. No way she supports it

Because of the tax on millionaires.

9. I know she would have no problem being the lone Dem vote against

I have my fingers crossed. It’s not near all of what we need, but it is some progress.

10. sinema won't want the corporate taxes

so they will negotiate and remove that. Manchin will then say it does not bring enough revenue and back out.

12. only if she gets to do that

flouncy/curtsy thing she does,,,,

[BlueIdaho]

13. I don't even think Manchin will support the bill. nt.

15. Went With Maybe

Depends on if she's been getting sufficient attention.
If she has, then yes. If not,...
