Manchin just went live and publicly said he isn’t going past 1.5 and if they want more then campaign on it and get more libs to pass it.
Bill is dead, thank God.
Dems Tuck Multibillion-Dollar Handout to Illegal Immigrants Into Reconciliation
Biden's $3.5 trillion spending bill gives migrants same child benefits as Americans
President Joe Biden’s budget includes a provision that provides billions of dollars in cash to illegal aliens with children.
The $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill extends the Child Tax Credit to anyone in the United States who provides an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, overturning a crucial safeguard against fraud. Federal law required a valid Social Security number to receive the cash transfer from the federal government. The potential payout for illegal immigrants is massive, with each family receiving a monthly payment of $250 to $300 per child.
Families, regardless of their legal status, would be eligible to receive checks of $3,600 per year per child. The Democratic bill would amount to a universal basic income for parents residing in the country. Under U.S. law, illegal immigrants are barred from enjoying the benefits of federal entitlements.

If you ever thought that, you are being a bit naïve.
Its like the old story about the woman asked if she would sleep with a man for $1 million and then when asked if she would do the same for $10 she was offended and asked "what kind of woman do you think I am?".
In much the same way, we have already established what people in congress are, now they are just haggling about the price.
I think it will max out at 2 trillion and not 3 trillion if it passes.
Still not sure it does.
Manchin is playing a very dangerous game though with his career here.
It's not just the price tag but it is the garbage hidden in the bill like amnesty, free community college, etc. This irresponsibility is how you buy votes at a federal level and create hysteria if it doesn't pass and most Americans don't support this. This is a party that know they will be defeated soundly in 2022 unless they do something drastic to increase the welfare state and dramatically change the voting demographics.
They already know they are going to be defeated in 2022. They cannot rig congressional elections in the same way as presidential - too spread out. So instead they are focused on funding the resistance for 2024 and years to come. Thats why there is the effort to federalize elections, have the IRS effectively continuously audit almost everyone and toss trillions at leftist run institutions. They know they are about to lose the next battle but they dont care because they are winning the war. That's also why it WILL pass in some form or another. Note also that this has nothing to do with infrastructure or building back the country, it is all about funding leftist programs. Not just about policy but actually funding the progressive army of activists when Dems are out of majority for a few minutes. That is how they keep growing their power.

Take out all the green, human infrastructure and pass the first bill. Roads, bridges, electrical etc.Red hatters only support free money when it comes from Trump. Everyone knows that
I had a problem with it, and I don't care for Sinema much. Politicians are off limits in my mind when they are in restrooms, with their kids, or at their personally owned homes.The media and even ol, Joe saw no problem with the attack on Sinema.
However can you imagine the media storm had that been Conservatives following Pelosi or AOC into the restroom?
Those folks would have already been arrested and they would be calling for a federal investigation.
That’s because you’re an unaware closet red hatter that just hasn’t blossomed into your full bloom MAGA yetI had a problem with it, and I don't care for Sinema much. Politicians are off limits in my mind when they are in restrooms, with their kids, or at their personally owned homes.
The online tsunami of **** if that had been AOC or the Bern would be epic. But crickets or tacit support from those folks on this because Sinema is an evil moderate. That is the dirty word among left-leaning folks online these days.
I don't see that happening in a million years. As flippy as Manchin has been, he has drawn that line pretty firmly in the sand. I just don't see Schumer and Pelosi touching that with a ten foot pole.So Democrats are hoping to leave the Hyde Amendment out so taxpayer money can be used for abortions.
Manchin insists $1.5T is his Topline for Biden's budget, says Dems should NOT vote to raise debt ceiling without filibuster and tells Chuck and Mitch to make a deal
Senator Joe Manchin made it clear Wednesday he opposes changing the Senate rules to bypass the legislative filibuster in order to raise the debt ceiling and that he's holding firm on his $1.5 trillion stance on President Joe Biden's budget package.
The Democratic senator from West Virgina dashed the hopes of progressives with his pronoucements - liberals hoped to invoke the so-called 'nuclear option' to bypass the Republican filibuster to raise the nation's borrowing limit and hoped to coax a few more billions out of Manchin and fellow moderate Kyrsten Sinema for Biden's social agenda.
'I've been very very clear where I stand on the filibuster. Nothing changes,' Manchin told reporters outside of his Senate office.
It takes a majority of 51 votes to use the 'nuclear option' and, in the 50-50 Senate Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would need every one of his Democrats on board plus Vice President Kamala Harris to break the tie.
President Biden appears to be on board with that option.

Soros-Linked Group Behind Kyrsten Sinema Harassment Promised to Target Democrats, Demanding Amnesty
The open borders lobbying group, linked to billionaire George Soros, behind the harassment of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) last week recently launched a six-figure campaign to demand amnesty for illegal aliens.
On Saturday, Sinema was hounded and followed by illegal alien activists with the group Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), demanding amnesty for the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States. LUCHA, along with United We Dream, is financially linked to Soros’ Open Society Foundation via the Center for Popular Democracy.
Last week, LUCHA and United We Dream announced the launch of their six-figure campaign to pressure Senate and House Democrats to back a filibuster-proof budget reconciliation package that includes amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
