Joe Manchin

I have concerns, you know, we`re talking about made major changes in our tax code. And I think my position hasn`t changed from what July when I gave y`all man.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has particularly impacted the outdoor recreation industry.

I have been seeing firsthand the jobs that the outdoor recreation economy has brought to rural areas in West Virginia.

I want to commend the sponsors of the bills on today's agenda for exploring innovative ways to improve outdoor recreation opportunities.

The outdoor recreation industry generates 1.8 percent of my state's gross domestic product and supports over 18,000 jobs.

I think what we need to do is just really look to grow what we have right now what came from the House. That`s what I`ve been doing.

No, no. I`m still looking at everything. Absolutely.

I really haven`t -- I haven`t heard any specifics on that one. They say it`s going to lower?

I would ask, Chairman Tester, I will be working on scheduling a VA patient safety oversight hearing in the very near future.

I introduced Senate Bill 2687, Strengthening Oversight for Veterans Act of 2021, again with Chairman Tester and Boozman, to give the authority to subpoena.

This bill gives wealthy residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, and Maryland tens of thousands of dollars in new tax breaks.

Affordable, reliable, and dependable energy is part of what made us a superpower, and it is critical that we maintain that and keep these prices under control.

Mark my words, Mr. Chairman, this winter we will see photos of Russian oil tankers in Boston Harbor delivering to the United States.

If the House Democrats get their way, many American families will have to decide whether they can pay their utility bills or put food on the table.

Senator Joe Manchin has been raising concerns about how more government spending could affect inflation.

By all accounts the threat posed by record inflation to the American people is not transitory and is instead getting worse from the grocery store to the gas pump Americans know the inflation tax is real and DC can no longer ignore the…

If we get zero, not $1.5 trillion or $3.5 trillion, if we get zero, I can live with that.

I think really where the breakdown will come or could come on this Build Back Better package is the leverage that progressives in the House had...

Senator Joe Manchin still not on board for the four weeks of paid leave that are in this bill right now that the House has put in there.

Joe Manchin for example does not want to see paid leave and reconciliation.

Eugene, it won`t end because you want me to write in blood that I`ll be for this, this and this. And I`m not for this, this, this and this, and they know it. They know it. I`ve been very clear.

He’s moved incrementally, but he’s moved. Remember he had a line that was that he’s not going to accept anything over $1.5 trillion. He’s now $1.75 trillion.
