Manchin’s new moves reveal the folly of arbitrary centrism. This posture is essentially that any effort to restrain liberal governance is an inherent good, with no serious acknowledgement required of the real-world trade offs it entails.

This is necessary because Manchin, who fears deficits and inflation, has drawn a line at $1.5 trillion. But that appears arbitrary: Manchin has even suggested to colleagues that he doesn’t particularly care which progressive priorities get jettisoned; he just wants to see some of them gone.

Manchin reminds me of the joke about Richard Nixon. Nixon was always willing to meet people half way. If a man was drowning 100 feet from the shore Nixon would throw him a 50 foot rope.
 
"Separately, Manchin’s opposition to the bill’s clean energy program will likely mean it will be jettisoned, according to the New York Times. This policy, which would reward power companies that transition to clean energy sources and penalize those that don’t, is widely seen as critical to securing our decarbonized future."

Looks like the Coal Companies are getting what they paid for.

Manchin could be fighting for West Virginia, he is not.
 
Dino Manchen is a wart on the American landscape, very much like West Virginia itself.
What we seem to lack in this nation are effective surgeons.
