Joe Manchin blasted the legislative process surrounding the Build Back Better social spending package during a Monday press conference at the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaker Pelosi urged the importance of voting [on] and passing the BIF [bipartisan infrastructure framework] bill before the president took the world stage overseas, and still no action. In my view, this is not how the U.S. Congress should operate,\u201d Manchin said. Biden introduced the latest iteration of the Build Back Better package on Thursday ahead of a meeting with the entire House Democratic Caucus in hopes that left-wing and moderate members could come to an agreement and pass both pieces of legislation.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Congressional Progressive Caucus continued to block the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed by the Senate in June. Moderates like Manchin, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, and Virginia Rep. Abigail <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/10\/democrats-infrastructure-moderates-manchin-sinema-sanders-biden\/\">Spanberger<\/a> have called on the House to pass the infrastructure package before turning to the social spending bill.<\/p>\n<p>Half the size of the initial bill proposed by Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the $1.75 trillion package <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/28\/biden-build-back-better-agenda-democrats\/\">includes<\/a> federally-funded preschool for three- and four-year-olds, as well as $555 billion in green energy tax credits and direct investments. The White House claims that this scaled-back offer will not add to the national debt, and will be paid for by a 15% minimum tax on large corporations, a 1% surcharge on corporate stock buybacks, and a new surtax on multi-millionaires and billionaires<\/p>\n<p>Manchin expressed skepticism that the Build Back Better Act would not impact the debt, however, citing \u201cshell games\u201d and \u201cbudget gimmicks\u201d that could lead to the package costing more than double its top-line amount. He added that the bill could be a \u201crecipe for economic crisis,\u201d noting its potential impact on inflation and the national debt. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/29\/joe-manchin-reconciliation-hyde-amendment-pramila-jayapal\/\">(RELATED: \u2018The Definition Of Fiscal Insanity\u2019: Manchin Slams Reconciliation Price Tag, Demands Hyde Amendment Reinstatement)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Press Conference\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Ob2Mtz8L3U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything like this,\u201d Manchin said of the negotiation process.<\/p>\n<p>He also called out the left-wing of the Democratic Party for whom \u201ccompromise is not good enough,\u201d telling them that holding the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, \u201chostage is not going to work in getting my support for the reconciliation bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is time to vote on the BIF bill up or down, and then go home to your constituents and explain the vote you\u2019ve made,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin also appeared to demand a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score on the Build Back Better Act. The CBO can not score a piece of legislation until it is fully introduced.<\/p>\n<p>Repeatedly noting that he would not negotiate in public, Manchin declared that \u201cit is time to pass the [bipartisan] bill and quit playing games,\u201d before exiting the press conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic West Virginia Sen.
