Manchin on BBB: “Simply put, I will not support a bill that is this consequential without thoroughly understanding the impact that it'll have on our national debt, our economy, and most importantly all of our American people.”
Senate Energy Chair Manchin: "We must allow time for complete transparency and analysis on the impact of changes to our tax code, and energy and climate policies to ensure that our country is well-positioned to remain the superpower of the world."
Manchin on BBB: "However, as more of the real details outline the basic framework are released, what I see are shell games, budget gimmicks, that make the real costs of the so-called $1.75T bill estimated to be twice that amount."
Manchin: "To be clear, I will not support the reconciliation legislation without knowing how the bill would impact our debt, our economy and our country. And we won't know that until we work through the text."
Manchin: "Holding that bill (BIF) hostage is not going to work to get my support of what you want."
