Manchin: ‘The Most Urgent Thing We Have To Do Is Get the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MANCHIN: “I want the wealthy to pay their fair share. If you are competitive globally, then it will be counterproductive. Everyone is look inging at this whole complete different way than maybe I am, or other people, or other people are keeping quiet. The bottom line is, do we have the urgency to spend another $3.5 trillion right now? The most urgent thing we have to do is get the bipartisan infrastructure bill that’s gone left unattended for over 30 years, deferred maintenance throughout every part of our nation. That’s the one. The president went out and campaigned on that. That’s his bill. We worked it in a bipartisan way. Got 19 republicans to vote for it. That’s the bill that should go out immediately.”
