was that she said that "we'll see" after the BIFF passes, but, honestly, that doesn't sound very encouraging. I have a feeling she and Manchin and probably others in the House (i.e. Gottheimer) will walk away really quickly from BBB or continue to stall it to death once the BIFF passes. I feel like I would take those odds. Anybody want to join me?

Unlikely. They would have no power if they did that. JohnSJ Oct 2021 #8

Then use the 2 trillion and pass both bills. There is little leverage with Manchin or Sinema. JohnSJ Oct 2021 #7

what 2 trillion? Celerity Oct 2021 #12

The OP said Manchin said he would not go higher than 2 trillion JohnSJ Oct 2021 #14

He says he wont even start at 2 trillion, so how do we end up there? His starting point is 1.5 Celerity Oct 2021 #16
