President Biden is scaling back his 'build back better' plans. Meeting with Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday, he outlined a $2 trillion government-overhaul package - a smaller, more workable proposal that can unite the party.

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., a progressive caucus member, said Biden urged the lawmakers to “get something done now” to show U.S. leadership on climate change on the global stage.A key holdout on Biden’s proposals, conservative Sen.

Other climate-change-fighting proposals being considered are a tax on carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels such as oil and coal or a methane emissions fee — though Manchin told reporters earlier in the day that a carbon tax was not in the mix. On other fronts, Biden and the Democrats appeared to be more readily coalescing around a slimmed-down package.

What had been envisioned as a months-long federal paid family leave program could be shrunk to as few as four weeks. Expected to still be included in the package are new subsidies to help families afford child care as well as increased subsidies put in place during the pandemic for people who buy their own health insurance.

Less $$$ for West Virginia.

It’s unreal. We now live in a country where a partisan spending bill that costs 2T is considered smaller, and is supposed to be more palatable.

So no free college now?

Manchin is a republican he does nothing for the Democrats but screw things up ..his lies about caring for West Virginia is ridiculous

It seems they think they can gain more conservatives than they will lose progressives. But that's not really 'uniting the party'.

SenSanders AOC Y'all feeling 'united'?

If they don't cough it up now to afford it, they will *truly* hate the price tag in 10 years when everything breaks! But the obstructors can't do math, they are not smart enough.

Scale back build back better. 😂 We are doomed. Or the US is, for that matter.

Does all these self inflicted political wounds by Manchin really worth it for what ever course he’s is pursuing with it? I don’t see how going against a political tsunami would be a sensible political calculus. Joe Manchin is done.

It’s hardly unity if two senators are holding the entire agenda hostage, one for their own personal gain, the other for their ego.

Ah this is socialism I remember when I lived in Europe in 60s

I have an alternative for them… Replace Joe Manchin & keep the President’s plan intact! 🤨

he looks like one of those coal patch kids.

Get something done now!!!

Maybe the senators that have a vested interest in pollution shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

MY RESEARCH

We need to rid ourselves of this Republican.

Build back a little bit better, really the same

You misspelled capitulating to the fossil fueled hostage taker.

More workable? Wtf does that mean

Will it keep the government out of $600 checking accounts? Or not charge taxes on mileage on top of income tax, sales tax, property tax, gas tax,…

Cow towing to two on-the-take senators like Manchin and Sinema instead of whipping the absolute piss out of them. Classic Dems.

$3.5T (OVER TEN YEARS) WAS A COMPROMISE

I'd find a way to make sure West Virginia gets NOTHING...and let them know Sen_JoeManchin is the reason.

As always, Congress shrinks from the moment and abandons working Americans.

That’s the problem. So concerned about the party that Americans are left behind, yet again, as expected. We need new party’s that focus on people over politics!!!

There you have it…Joe Manchin truly does run the show

You cannot build it back if you haven't destroyed it..

How do you expect a coal man who lives on a boat to care about sea rise?

Jill Biden surprises her South Carolina 'prayer partner'Jill Biden on Sunday returned to the South Carolina Baptist church where she says she began to repair her relationship with God following her son's death from brain cancer six years ago. The first lady quietly flew to West Columbia for a surprise appearance at the 50th anniversary celebration for Pastor Charles B. Jackson Sr. of Brookland Baptist Church. How does one have a relationship with a male-identified, narcissistic, sociopathic, non-existent deity that sits idly by while people suffer? Oh, wait, 'GOD' only takes care of the wealthy, screw the poor people who make charlatans like Joel Osteen and Jim Bakker filthy rich. Then Jill do something to help our nation! That's Dr. Jill Biden to you. LOL.

Dems to Biden: Don't leave people of color behind in Build Back Better negotiationsAs Democrats start to cut priorities from their social spending package, President Joe Biden is under pressure not to leave people of color out So they want make sure that Black People are taxed for driving per-mile? ...and to trigger red-flags with the IRS when they conduct a bank transaction for more than $600? I doubt they have anything to worry about there.... Clyburn assured his abandonment when he sold out Bernie to Obama. How's that victory tasting now? This 'plan' has very little to do with infrastructure and is more of a hidden amnesty for illegals where the Democrats are lying once again to the public about what they are up to. They have been using and playing Black America for decades. And now they are using them again.

Despite promises to lift some Trump sanctions, Biden leaves Cuba in deep freezeDespite campaign promises on Cuba, President Biden has not opened paths on the remittances and travel some say would most help islanders. There are a lot of promises that Biden hasn’t kept. I've learnt a lot from a mentor who were instrumentally in shape with me, and I want to share what I've learnt. Investing with you has changed my life Geoffreypreud So did he change the big picture or agenda at all in the key issues🤔?
