Is it me or are we going to see the Build Back Better bill stuck by a few who want more?

For awhile I thought we were heading in the right direction to get something done and everybody would be happy! But I have a feeling that we will be disappointed by those few who won’t be happy with the bill! It should have been done by now! We can’t be happy all the time! Plus we need to except the fact the GOPers are watching and waiting to pounce all the Dems, because they can’t get anything done! Just my opinion, but it well past the time and they need to produce!

It's not "being stuck" by a few who want more.

It's being sabotaged by a few (2 in particular) who sold out. They've already proven untrustworthy by not honoring the compromise that was already made.

To where Manchin and Sinema have actually agreed to BBB, I'll be willing to push progressives to vote for it.

I never said anything about the progressive. I was pointing out that Manchin and Sinema wants more for their own good! It will hurt us all!

I think they've agreed behind the scenes in principle though.
