President Joe Biden broke into West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin in a new interview – citing the stagnant Build Back Better plan for $ 500 billion in climate programs despite Manchin’s complaints.
Biden made the comment with historian Heather Cox Richardson, speaking in front of a crackling fire in China The White House room when he lifted Manchin while defending his $ 1.8 trillion plan, which died in late 2021 with little movement since.
He presented individual programs in his state of the Union and introduced a new brand, “Building a Better America” during a trip to Wisconsin this week.
“Build Back Better. What people don’t realize, mainly because a West Virginia senator talks about how it’s all social spending – well, you know, all the money in Build Back Better, there’s about $ 500 billion of it for the environment. ” he said in Bribery interview.

“Five hundred billion is for the environment. But the other parts are for the best way to deal with people who, as they say, get the short end of the stick for a long time, “Biden told the Boston College historian.
His comment came amid a more democratic grumble about Manchin, who ruined the temporary programs in the package and challenged his colleagues to choose a program to extend by 10 years. He focused on inflation and called on the country to “put its fiscal house in order”, while progressives such as Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) Called for free childcare, care for the elderly and other programs.

Manchin called inflation “enemy number one” and his opposition helped thwart the plan late last year.
“If you want to reduce the burden on people struggling to pay for a gallon of hash … there are other ways to raise their overall standard of living,” Biden continued, citing a $ 1.9 trillion increase in the children’s tax credit. an American rescue plan adopted in its first year. The BBB plan had another extension.
“Well, that reduced child poverty by 40 percent. Well, it wasn’t a social program, it was a tax cut, “Biden said.
He was also interested in former President Trump when he described decisions for which historical figures were placed in the Oval Office during a short period of time on January 20.
“It was easier because the other president didn’t even show up for office or anything like that,” Biden said.
He said in another comment to Richardson – who preceded questions with long historical suggestions – “You make me miss being a professor at Penn … I really enjoyed teaching and writing.”
In fact, Biden had an honorary professorship and lectured at the Penn Biden Center, but did not teach for an hour, according to Daily Pennsylvanian.
