Joe Manchin (W.Va.) is splitting with his party over excessive spending. On Thursday, Manchin published an op-ed saying he wanted to put a \u201cstrategic pause\u201d on the $3.5 trillion spending bill.<\/p>\n<p>The moderate senator said Congress\u2019 appetite for spending huge sums of money would have negative consequences for the future. Manchin is a key vote and without his support, Democrats will be hard pressed to pass anything in the Senate without bipartisan support.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Instead of rushing to spend trillions on new government programs and additional stimulus funding, Congress should hit a strategic pause on the budget-reconciliation legislation.
