Is Manchin stalling till the new year to have this year's reconciliation bill lapse?

Then maybe next years reconciliation bill will have to be used. I thought Sinema was being love bombed and put on a dopamine high by right wing dark artists to sabotage. Obviously they dark artists are making him paranoid. Paid leave corruption? Doesn't happen in Canada. It is not a thing.

1. He's like the Republicans. Treats all Americans as if they are crooks and cheaters.

5. "crooks and cheaters"

Well, that's what he and they see when they look in mirrors. So they assume everyone else is the same.

2. It wouldn't lapse until just before the election

The budget year just started.

3. he's stalling to have it never pass

once you get into an election year, all sorts of people are going to balk at any new spending.

Next year you will hear him say something like...it's an election year, we should let the American people decide where things stand and then see what we can do after the elections.

It's clear, been clear...he doesn't want reconciliation at all.

The BIF is the apex of what he wants.

4. Yep

He's running a masterclass in goalpost moving right now. Give him everything he wants and he'll still find something else he doesn't like

7. He has said in the past he sees no reason to pass the BBB this year. n/t

9. Either that or...

Using the preferred outlet, a press conference, he is playing a role for a particular audience but will ultimately vote for it.

10. The "new year" started on October 1.

The federal fiscal year is a month old today. The year ends next September 30, so it's a long way off.
