Analysis: Here’s what we know about what Manchin opposes in this legislation.
Manchin is chair of the Senate Energy Committee, which deals with climate change. He argued that the government shouldn’t get involved in changes already happening in the private sector.
What Manchin didn’t say was that he makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from his family coal company. Only a small portion of that is in a blind trust,Manchin “doesn’t have the guts to stand up to powerful special interests,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders .In large part because of Manchin, Democrats already dropped a proposals for 12-week paid family leave and free community college from the legislation.
Manchin has opposed continuing the child tax credit as it is. He wants education and work requirements, anathema to many in his party.that Manchin privately proposed to the White House a version of the bill that included hundreds of billions to fight climate change, as well as a proposal to expand Obamacare and create universal prekindergarten for 10 years. But it did not include continuing this expanded child tax credit.
These West Virginians would be affected if Manchin restricts who can get the expanded child tax creditManchin doesn’t come out and say this, but implicit in his criticism of the legislation is his belief that Build Back Better doesn’t answer voters’ immediate concerns.
