CNN, MSNBC squeeze Joe Manchin on social spending bill: 'Why can't it be done right now?'
Fox News
Anchors at CNN and MSNBC put the squeeze on Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., Thursday as they relentlessly hounded him over his opposition to parts of the Democrat-backed $1.75 trillion social spending bill currently being debated in Congress.
"To get to yes [on the spending bill] is first to find out what the real cost is … We’re using ten years of revenue to basically supply one, or two, or five, or six years of services, and that’s not the true cost. The true cost would be ten years to ten years. So if you have ten years of revenue, then you would think that if we put a program in place, that program would last ten years too," Manchin told Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Manchin stressed the need for a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score to be released on the bill and implored Democrats to take things more slowly in order to see if inflation in the U.S. would continue to get worse.
