14. Rather than trimming it down, we need to put in some pork for SineManchin's donors.

Something that's win-win, such as subsidies for fossil fuel companies to convert to being renewable energy suppliers.

Also huge amounts for Pharma to send vaccines and other key drugs to 3rd-world countries.

SineManchin will get their cut, pad their retirement accounts, and vote for it.
