Contrary to foolish talk otherwise, America cannot spend its way out of debt or out of inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The revival of Biden\u2019s agenda comes as the president has faced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/07\/05\/biden-democrats-newsom-pritzker\/\">mounting criticism<\/a> from his own party for failing to implement significant policy over his first year and a half in office. Democrats will use the budget reconciliation process to bypass the Senate filibuster and advance the bill along party lines, potentially giving the party a much-needed legislative victory before a midterm election where Democrats are expected to face a \u201cred wave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To pass the package, Democrats still might need to convince Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), who has voiced opposition to elements of Biden\u2019s spending agenda. Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/07\/28\/sinema-manchin-deal-senate-democrats\">reported<\/a> that hours after Manchin\u2019s surprise reversal, a spokesperson for Sinema said the Arizona senator did not have a comment on the bill because \u201cshe will need to review the text.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Manchin\u2019s statement, he criticized Democrats for previously attempting to spend trillions of dollars on Biden\u2019s \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d agenda as the country grapples with inflation. While the new package is a large cut from Democrats\u2019 initial proposals of over $3 trillion, the Manchin-Schumer deal includes elements that the senator had previously opposed. Manchin did not provide specific details on what changed his mind.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin\u2019s agreement to the package he touts as an inflation-fighting bill comes a day before GDP numbers will be released for the quarter. Experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/07\/27\/us-economy-probably-barely-grew-last-quarter-and-may-have-contracted.html\">predict<\/a> the report will show a second consecutive negative GDP report, meaning the country will be in a recession.<\/p>\n<p>A joint statement from Manchin and Schumer claimed the package would \u201cfight inflation, invest in domestic energy production and manufacturing, and reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030,\u201d Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/07\/27\/manchin-schumer-senate-deal-energy-taxes-00048325\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) resurrected key pieces of President Joe Biden\u2019s \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d agenda in a surprising agreement with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday.
