Joe Manchin raised concerns over the $3.5 trillion budget plan the Senate passed Wednesday, warning that the level of spending would have a negative impact on future generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdding trillions of dollars more to nearly $29 trillion of national debt, without any consideration of the negative effects on our children and grandchildren, is one of those decisions that has become far too easy in Washington,\u201d Manchin said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchin.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/manchin-raises-serious-concerns-about-35-trillion-budget\">press release<\/a>&nbsp;Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/11\/senate-adopts-democrats-budget-3-5-trillion-congress-bernie-sanders\/\">passed<\/a> the $3.5 trillion budget in a 50-49 vote early Wednesday morning after the plan was proposed the previous day. Manchin voted yes on the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/10\/senate-debating-democrats-mammoth-3-5-trillion-budget-bernie-sanders-chuck-schumer\/\">budget<\/a>, saying it was important to \u201cdiscuss the fiscal policy future of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senator has previously expressed <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/08\/manchin-block-infrastructure-bill-republicans-arent-included\/\">concerns<\/a>&nbsp;over the rising national debt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/joe-manchin-infrastructure-bill-c8408e99-17f3-4477-b5df-8e3d537c0bd9.html\">warning<\/a>&nbsp;the U.S. could enter a recession if spending continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge my colleagues to seriously consider this reality as this budget process unfolds in the coming weeks and months,\u201d Manchin said, warning of \u201cgrave consequences\u201d should the budget go ahead as planned. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/10\/psaki-biden-budget-reconciliation-infrastructure-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Psaki Defends Pelosi\u2019s Decision To Sit On \u2018Vital\u2019 Infrastructure During Ongoing Budget Battle)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"6.8546511627907\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">My statement raising concerns about the consequences of passing a $3.5 trillion budget: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gGsEXcVTxd\">pic.twitter.com\/gGsEXcVTxd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Joe Manchin (@Sen_JoeManchin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sen_JoeManchin\/status\/1425435209244332032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 11, 2021<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt is simply irresponsible to continue spending at levels more suited to respond to a Great Depression or Great Recession \u2014 not an economy that is on the verge of overheating,\u201d the senator added Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin also voiced concerns about <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/10\/consumer-price-index-inflation-joe-biden-janet-yellen\/\">rising inflation<\/a>&nbsp;and still-high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/jlt\/\">unemployment<\/a>, arguing that more spending would harm American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenge we now face is different: millions of jobs remain unfilled across the country and rising inflation rates are now an unavoidable tax on the wages and income of every American,\u201d he said. \u201cThese are not indications of an economy that requires trillions in additional spending.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arizona Democratic Sen.
