President Biden told reporters this morning that he still hasn’t given up hope on spending the country into oblivion and cranking up the inflation rate even more:

And then Biden headed to Delaware for the weekend.
Meanwhile, after Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin said he would not support a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package (drawing the line at $1.5 trillion), Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona put out a statement that will cause further meltdowns on the Left and inside the offices of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi:
Canceling the U.S. House vote on the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act denies Americans millions of new good-paying jobs and hurts everyday families.

If the far Left wing of Congress holds out for both spending packages instead of agreeing only to vote on the infrastructure bill, Biden might end up getting nothing passed:
Sinema calls infrastructure/reconciliation machinations “an ineffective stunt to gain leverage over a separate proposal. My vote belongs to Arizona, and I do not trade my vote for political favors — I vote based only on what is best for my state and the country…”

…I have never, and would never, agree to any bargain that would hold one piece of legislation hostage to another.” And that’s not all. She really comes at Schumer and Pelosi over their two-track strategy and talk of momentum

“Democratic leaders have made conflicting promises that could not all be kept — and have, at times, pretended that differences of opinion within our party did not exist, even when those disagreements were repeatedly made clear directly and publicly.”

That won’t make most Dems happy at all.
