.Sen_JoeManchin hit out against POTUS, accusing the president of pushing his “ideological agenda” rather than meeting with members of Congress to address inflation and the looming debt ceiling crisis.
In an op-ed published by the Wall Street Journal, Manchin criticized Biden over his administration’s implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, a landmark bill the West Virginia Democrat helped construe to reduce the country’s deficit and promote energy security. However, Manchin accused Biden administration officials of abusing the Inflation Reduction Act to increase spending levels unilaterally, calling the act a “betrayal.
“The administration is attempting at every turn to implement the bill it wanted, not the bill Congress actually passed,” he wrote. “Ignoring the debt and deficit implications of these actions as the time nears to raise the debt ceiling isn’t only wrong, it’s policy and political malpractice.” First, Manchin called on Biden to meet with “fiscally minded” Republicans and Democrats to negotiate a solution to the debt ceiling crisis, urging the president to end his stalemate with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to come to an agreement. Biden and McCarthy initially met in January to discuss the debt ceiling, but the pair have not met since — with Biden maintaining he would not negotiate further until Republicans release their budget for the next fiscal year.
“While we can all acknowledge that raising the debt limit is an absolute necessity and Republicans shouldn’t threaten otherwise, are we seriously to believe there is no room to negotiate?” Manchin wrote. “Does the federal government operate so efficiently and effectively that there truly isn’t a dollar of waste, fraud or abuse? Let’s get serious.”
