(Win McNamee / Getty Images) A $3.5 trillion progressive wish list Democrats want to ram through the Senate is already causing one moderate Democrat to frown.
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a critical potential stumbling block to passage of the plan, was a rarity among Senate Democrats this week in voicing caution about the latest megabucks plan to emerge from the Biden White House in collaboration with congressional Democrats.
Democrats are larding their hodgepodge proposal with a collection of far-left priorities. For example, Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington said it will fund a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants , according to Fox News .
Because the $3.5 trillion behemoth is classified as a budget bill, Democrats are not the least interested in Republican support.
Using the same tactics that secured passage for this spring’s coronavirus relief bill, Democrats want to get all 50 Democratic senators in line. When the 50 Republicans line up against the bill, as they have vowed to, Democrats will trot out Vice President Kamala Harris to break the tie.
However, that strategy requires Manchin to support the plan, something that is not a given.
“I’m open to looking at everything they provide. … The president’s coming today to explain,” Manchin said Wednesday prior to President Joe Biden’s meeting with senators about the plan, according to The Washington Post .

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
