Pat Toomey (R-PA) on Sunday said that moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) got \u201ctaken to the cleaners\u201d by Senate Democrats by agreeing to their tax and spending package.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing on CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation,\u201d Toomey said that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/manchin-stands-by-democrats-tax-and-spend-plan-nothing-inflammatory-in-that-piece-of-legislation\">Manchin<\/a> was swindled by his Democratic colleagues into agreeing to the reconciliation plan. Toomey went on to claim that the Democrats\u2019 package uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/build-back-better-critics-say-accounting-gimmicks-additional-irs-enforcement-hiding-real-cost-to-americans\">accounting gimmicks<\/a> that they say will lower inflation, the same tricks Manchin previously opposed in \u201cBuild Back Better.\u201d He also blasted Democrats for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchin.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/manchin-supports-inflation-reduction-act-of-2022\">promising<\/a> Manchin a pro-energy infrastructure bill but not including provisions in the current package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he got taken to the cleaners,\u201d Toomey said. \u201cHe\u2019s agreeing to all this bad policy, and return for which he\u2019s been promised there is going to be some kind of pro-energy infrastructure bill sometime in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, first of all, I thought we did that in the infrastructure bill.\u201d he continued. \u201cSecondly, what is the text? But most importantly, why isn\u2019t that in this bill and the answer is because Democrats don\u2019t support it. So this is going to do a lot of harm, and there is not going to be a corresponding benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Toomey also refuted the idea that the bill reduces the federal deficit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[T]hey use the same gimmick that Senator Manchin said he was opposed to in the past. They claim the revenue over a ten-year window from their big tax increase, and their price controls, and then the expenditure that they acknowledged, they pretend is only going to be for three years,\u201d said Toomey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the Obamacare subsidies for wealthy Americans. That\u2019s an obvious political payoff. The last time they had to do this, they said it would only be for two years,\u201d he added. \u201cIt is about to expire, and they can\u2019t have it expire before an election, so they\u2019re extending it, but only for three years. They have no intention of ever ending the Obamacare subsidies over a ten-year window that wipes out the purported deficit reduction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are also counting huge amounts of additional tax revenue from giving more taxes \u2013 money to the IRS, which the [Congressional Budget Office] does not agree with, they\u2019re also not taking into account how much our economy will slow down from this big corporate tax increase that will mostly hurt manufacturing and domestic investment. These numbers are very, very dubious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/joe-manchin-revives-bidens-agenda-agrees-to-democrat-package-of-tax-increases-and-climate-spending\">Joe Manchin Revives Biden\u2019s Agenda, Agrees To Democrat Package Of Tax Increases And Climate Spending<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
