10. When they get there tell them the $1.9 will be passed through budget reconciliation....

And offer them a cookie. Enough is enough, hopefully President Biden truly gets it that compromise simply will not work with these clowns.

They can either back the full $1.9 trillion, or vote against the majority of the American people who voted for Biden-Harris.

Seriously, I love Biden-Harris but this is the true test. They MUST stick to their guns on this piece of legislation or risk losing their new voters. Giving even an inch on this $1.9 trillion will demoralize too many voters who will sit 2022 out.

They can compromise with other things down the line...but this is a signature piece of work that must be passed as is, no ifs, ands, or buts. Now if Manchin wants some minor changes to get on board, fine, but do not give the Repubs anything.
