If you can't or won't say why something it too big or too expensive, then you have no position, just a complaint with no basis or substance. What you've presented is a strawman because you're too dishonest to have a real debate of ideas, or you just want to conceal the truth.
That's what Manchin and Sinema have done. They are taking the identical positions now that the tea party took 10 years ago. They don't have specific disagreements on ANYTHING. They have done nothing and presented nothing.
They have no ideas and no constituency or caucus in congress. They're completely empty. Their power comes strictly from taking the position of saying NO pretending that conservative democratic ideology is most important, when their underlying interests are about ideology at all.
In fact, like the tea party was funded by far rightwing astroturf donors to be obstructionists, Big Oil, Big Coal, and Big Pharma are funding Manchin and Sinema to do exactly the same thing at the expense of their own party leader and his agenda.
Despite the fact that their own voters and large numbers of republican voters actually support Biden's agenda, Manchin and Sinema have made a political murder suicide pact with the republicans and lobbyists, and they've tied democracy and the American people to the train tracks.
