Rep. Yarmuth: Manchin’s ‘Using Discredited Republican Talking Points to Make His Case for Not Supporting the Bill’

‘There are so many frustrating things about Senator Manchin’s position’

EXCERPT:

YARMUTH: "What’s frustrating -- there are so many frustrating things about Senator Manchin's position -- but what frustrates me most is that he’s using discredited Republican talking points to make his case for not supporting the bill. This bill is not inflationary he talks about fears of insulation. We've had numerous economists from across the spectrum say that there’s no inflationary impact from -- from the Build Back Better Act. He talks about the deficit. This is almost entirely payed for the first ten years and actually provides a surplus in the second ten years, there’s no real significant addition to the debt. He talks about supply chains. I have no idea what he’s talking about.”
