Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has reportedly laid down new red lines for the Democrats’ multitrillion-dollar reconciliation bill, this time making demands regarding the expanded child tax credit provision.
Axios reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter, that Manchin informed the White House that the child tax credit must have an “established work” requirement and a family income limit in the $60,000 range if Democrats want his vote for the package.
Those demands, Axios noted, would significantly weaken the child tax credit, which is one of President Biden’s key programs to assist working families. It would also bring down the price tag of the spending bill, which Manchin and fellow moderate Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) have both said is too high.

Manchin informed the White House that the child tax credit must have an “established work” requirement and a family income limit in the $60,000 range if Democrats want his vote for the package.
Unless he means everyone is eligible as long as they work a minimum amount of hours or the percentage of income refunded goes up per child he is basically saying No new Child tax credit. There already is a Child tax credit based on percentage of income. Most people who earn under $60,000 with a few children don’t make enough money to max out on it anyway. So what difference does it make if they add onto it?
But yet the far left wing Bob Casey couldn’t care less.
As recorded in Bereishis 45:7, the words of Yosef Hatzadik (lehavdil)
וישלחני אלקים לפניכם לשום לכם שארית בארץ ולהחיות לכם לפליטה גדולה
Joe Manchin is standing up to try to preserve some remnants of sanity and morality in the USA.
HKB”H should protect him from his enemies, and grant him success, אמן, כן יהי רצון.
You go Joe!!!!
