Moderate Democratic Senator opposes 3.5 trillion bill - Biden Era

Guardian- Live Blog: Reports the following in its 5.15pm post, " Senator Joe Manchin voiced “serious concerns” about Democrats’ $3.5tn spending package, after the Senate approved a blueprint for the bill in a 50-49 party-line vote. “Given the current state of the economic recovery, it is simply irresponsible to continue spending at levels more suited to respond to a Great Depression or Great Recession – not an economy that is on the verge of overheating,” Manchin said in a statement. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we have moderation from Senator Manchin or President Manchin of the US Senate.  The Democrats are acting as if they had a over whelming mandate from the people for this fast spending on the US Credit Card.   They do not, the US voter faced a choice, either electing Trump or Biden, and they took a punt on Biden.  The Biden Oval wants to be up there with FDR or LBJ when it comes to spending, this is lunacy on behalf of the Democrats.  One can only hope that Manchin does not lose hit bottle, he has to be firm with the Democratic leadership in the Senate and the Oval Office, their project has to be scaled back, a lot, and not in the trillions.  One hopes one can trust Senator Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to stay firm and demand REAL CHANGE or they vote NO.
