As someone has pointed out previously, its like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football with Lucy holding it! When he said he'd vote for it, he was afraid of losing all the pandering attention he's gotten for months for being a contrarian.
This statement is just moronic:
"I will not support a bill that is this consequential without thoroughly understanding the impact that it will have on our national debt, our economy and most importantly all of our American people," He's had this explained to him ad nauseam. I agree--its time to go all LBJ on his ass! Go back to the $3T bill, and cram it down his and Sinema's throat.
I officially hate him.
