Joe Manchin (D-WV) said Monday that the $1.7 trillion Build Back Better Act needs a \u201clot of changes\u201d and that he remains skeptical as to whether Democrats can pass the bill before Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) hopes to pass the $1.7 trillion Build Back Better Act before Christmas, but the bill may face drastic changes before it could receive Manchin\u2019s support.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Sens. Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema\u2019s (D-AZ) support is needed for Schumer to pass the bill through the Senate, as Democrats only have a one-member majority in Congress\u2019s upper chamber.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin signaled that the bill may not pass by Christmas and it needs significant reforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not skeptical. I\u2019m just basically a realist. There\u2019s an awful lot there, and a lot of changes to be done, and you\u2019re throwing it at a time when it\u2019s very vulnerable in our economy,\u201d the West Virginia Democrat <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mkraju\/status\/1467990321409802244?s=20\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Manchin also counter-signaled President Joe Biden\u2019s assertion that the Build Back Better Act would lower inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t seen that. I\u2019ve heard that. I don\u2019t, I don\u2019t know how you control inflation when there\u2019s the first year of spending is going to be quite large,\u201d Manchin explained.<\/p>\n<p>The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and other organizations have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/18\/cbo-build-back-better-act-adds-750-billion-to-deficit-over-five-years\/\">found<\/a> that Biden\u2019s landmark legislation would amount to trillions of dollars in spending, especially in the first several years after its enactment.<\/p>\n<p>The CBO said that the bill would cost $750 billion over five years.<\/p>\n<p>The Build Back Better Act also contains many arbitrary policy sunsets that make the bill appear less expensive than the bill\u2019s official price tag of $1.7 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget found that the legislation would cost $4.91 trillion if many of the policies and programs did not expire.<\/p>\n<p><i>Sean Moran is a congressional reporter for Breitbart News.
