1. Manchin's bill will pass with bipartisan support. Unlike some of his

critics, Manchin can actually get things done. After all Manchin rescued the Inflation Reduction Act which provides $369 billion for climate and clean energy provisions, the most aggressive climate investment ever taken by Congress.

2. Manchin didn't "rescue" it, that was a minimum amount that

he would allow.

3. It was the most ever passed by both houses of congress for climate.

It was a great victory for both the Democratic Party and the nation.

[Uncle Joe]

4. It was the most but if you're starting from near zero it doesn't take much to be the most.

Everything is relative and considering what's going on around the world in regards to the ever expanding climate crisis catastrophes, this greatest to date piece of environmental legislation will not come close by itself especially saddled with legislation that has an opposing effect to the goals of the overall law.

5. I'm happy with it and Manchin should get his part that they promised

If congress stop making deals, it’s over. Although, more republicans will vote yes so berney will be able to say no. Bipartisan hill to president Biden’s desk.

[Uncle Joe]

6. It's not over until it's over, the struggle is eternal.

No one is saying Congress shouldn't make deals, what we're saying is, with life as we know it at stake, make another deal.
