Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) is pushing to eliminate the U.S. Senate in an effort to ram through Democrat President Joe Biden\u2019s partisan $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), one of the only non-far-left senators in the U.S. Senate, warned in an op-ed on Thursday that inflation was a serious threat to the U.S. and that he could not support Biden\u2019s gigantic partisan infrastructure bill.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin wrote that some of his colleagues have a \u201cstrange belief\u201d that \u201cthere is an infinite supply of money to deal with any current or future crisis, and that spending trillions upon trillions will have no negative consequence for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI disagree,\u201d Manchin wrote, as he then proceeded to note that \u201can overheating economy has imposed a costly \u2018inflation tax\u2019 on every middle- and working-class American.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin slammed his own part for not taking into account rising inflation as they attempted to pass \u201cthe largest single spending bill in history\u201d which he said would \u201ccreate a disastrous future for the next generation of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin called for the push to ram through Biden\u2019s partisan agenda to be immediately halted, saying that people needed to watch inflation to see if it was \u201ctransitory\u201d like the Biden administration claims it is.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"23\">\n<p><em>While some have suggested this reconciliation legislation must be passed now, I believe that making budgetary decisions under artificial political deadlines never leads to good policy or sound decisions. I have always said if I can\u2019t explain it, I can\u2019t vote for it, and I can\u2019t explain why my Democratic colleagues are rushing to spend $3.5 trillion. Another reason to pause: We must allow for a complete reporting and analysis of the implications a multitrillion-dollar bill will have for this generation and the next. Such a strategic pause will allow every member of Congress to use the transparent committee process to debate: What should we fund, and what can we simply not afford?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I, for one, won\u2019t support a $3.5 trillion bill, or anywhere near that level of additional spending, without greater clarity about why Congress chooses to ignore the serious effects inflation and debt have on existing government programs. This is even more important now as the Social Security and Medicare Trustees have sounded the alarm that these life-saving programs will be insolvent and benefits could start to be reduced as soon as 2026 for Medicare and 2033, a year earlier than previously projected, for Social Security. Establishing an artificial $3.5 trillion spending number and then reverse-engineering the partisan social priorities that should be funded isn\u2019t how you make good policy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In response to Manchin\u2019s well thought out response to hyper-partisanship in Washington, D.C., the Sunrise Movement, a far-left group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunrisemovement.org\/our_endorsements\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-for-ny-14\/\">aligned<\/a> with AOC, demanded that the Senate be abolished, writing simply in a statement, \u201cAbolish the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AOC has repeatedly called for <a href=\"https:\/\/webcache.googleusercontent.com\/search?q=cache:KYaHaSG6nT8J:https:\/\/twitter.com\/aoc\/status\/1400163989494108164+&amp;cd=5&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;gl=us\">abolishing<\/a> the filibuster and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/aoc-abolish-department-of-homeland-security-immigration-2019-7\">important<\/a> entities that protect the U.S., like the Department of Homeland Security, which was created in response to the 9\/11 terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.5705521472393\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AOC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AOC<\/a>-aligned progressive group comes out for abolishing the entire Senate <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6yeouNfdAY\">https:\/\/t.co\/6yeouNfdAY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattdizwhitlock\/status\/1433524110596972545?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
