Joe Manchin Says He Won't Support Build Back Better-White House Calls It 'Inexplicable Reversal'

If there is a form of unrestricted growth I do see, it is the unrestricted growth of power by the governing bodies. Overregulation to benefit the elite few at the expense of everyone else. Without governments helping them out every step of the way, corporations and banks would never be able to achieve the growth they have. So I don't agree or disagree. It just depends on what you mean by 'destroying the world' , what you mean by 'world' , what you mean by 'unrestricted growth' and lastly, growth of what exactly?

Both parties are beholden to industry and special interest. You are a fool if you think Republicans are looking out for the little guy or the middle class workers. Republicans and Democrats both sold out our country. Joe Manchin is doing the evil work of empire, what his donors pay him to do. Trillions of our tax dollars are funneled into waste for military spending, but manchin doesn’t care about that. That’s not part of his script. His job is to keep everyone focused on the illusion that the poor and working-class ask for too much. Some people are tired of sending their tax dollars to be spent on social programs but there are many many more affected by the ruling class policies that pinch the average worker and subsidize big business so government has to pick up the bill for peoples healthcare And food because their employers don’t pay them enough and don’t provide comprehensive health care with long-term employment. For this nation to become strong again, workers must have rights and they must be compensated for their time in their lives. Big business set the bar so low and then convinced everyone they could that’s where the bar should be.

Try asking his constituents who may have voted for trump, but voted for Manchin (as a “democrat”) for the BBB bill… West Virginia is one of the POOREST states in the country & BBB would’ve been incredibly helpful especially to the people of WV. 40% of children lifted out of poverty because of the child tax credit which is now done - because of him. Also let him explain to everyone why he doesn’t give a stuff about helping senior citizens w/hearing, vision or dental. Let him explain to working moms & dads why they can’t afford child care when they could pay only up to 7% of their yearly income instead w/BBB. Let him explain to everyone why we have to pay a grand for insulin among other meds. That’s only a couple things in BBB that would have helped the middle class people in this country who deserve a better shot. So how is “standing up for the American people” basically telling them to get stuffed? BBB was going to help the middle class exponentially and it was fully paid for. But yeah, he’s “standing up for the American people”. The majority of Americans actually want BBB go pass. But what does manchin care, he’s got his big coal money and pharma money. He’s got his Maserati & giant yacht “Almost Heaven”… on his $170 thousand dollar a year salary. 🙄 make that make sense. Oh that’s right on top of dark $ interests - he collects income from his sons, wait for it, COAL COMPANY.
