(Reuters) - U.S. Senator Joe Manchin may delay President Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" legislation until next year over inflation worries, Axios reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The $1.75 trillion proposal aims to expand the social safety net in the United States and boost climate change policy.

The House of Representatives passed a separate $1 trillion package of highway, broadband and other infrastructure improvements last week. It was passed by the Senate in August.

Biden has spent the last few months promoting the merits of both pieces of legislation.

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday that the House intends to pass the "Build Back Better" legislation the week of Nov. 15.

2. Just put it to a vote and dare him to vote against it

There will be a chance he doesn't, but if he does we will also be clear where he stands.

3. He just wants a bigger yacht

That's Manchin's idea of inflation.

"What's in it for me?"

was talking about not doing the BBB until '22 more than a month ago.

Plus, the BBB is paid for, so it would not be inflationary. Conversely, the BIF adds hundreds of billions to the federal debt.
