D'OH! Biden & Dem leadership are NOT going to like Sen. Joe Manchin's statement on spending trillions more

In the House of Representatives, it appears that the Dems’ infrastructure bill is going to be stalled as some on the Left want it to be coupled with the larger social spending bill and others do not:

Meanwhile, Sen. Joe Manchin seems to have thrown a wrench in the Democrat works (Sen. Sinema might as well) when it comes to the spending of trillions of dollars that Biden and Pelosi actually expect everybody to believe “costs zero”:

New @Sen_JoeManchin statement is BRUTALLY critical of reconciliation. Includes phrases like "definition of fiscal insanity," & not "reengineer the social and economic fabric of this nation or vengefully tax" — this doesn't read at ALL like someone who is remotely on board.

MANCHIN Statement: "While I am hopeful that common ground can be found that would result in another historic investment in our nation, I cannot – and will not – support trillions in spending or an all or nothing approach that ignores the brutal fiscal reality our nation faces." pic.twitter.com/mgDmoo5NLu

MANCHIN continues: "There is a better way and I believe we can find it if we are willing to continue to negotiate in good faith.” pic.twitter.com/JLISTeBWz8
