in a radio interview on Monday, saying he was “wits' end” in negotiations with the White House. He didn’t specify exactly what the final straw was.
The West Virginia senator had previously said he would support separate legislation to extend child tax credit payments, but such a bill is unlikely to pass the Senate, which Democrats control only by a slim margin. “Senator Manchin has made clear he supports the child tax credit and believes the money should be targeted to those who need it most," a spokeswoman for Manchin said Monday."He has also expressed support for a paid leave program that has a dedicated, sustainable funding mechanism.”The American Rescue Plan, enacted in March, expanded the existing child tax credit by $3,000 from $2,000 with a $600 bonus for kids under the age of 6 for the 2021 tax year.
Since the first payments were distributed in July, the administration has delivered nearly $93 billion to families, according to the Treasury Department. When the administration sent out the final checks of 2021 last week, they were distributed to about 61 eligible children as part of the sixth monthly payment.
Studies have found that the expanded tax credits have lifted millions of children out of poverty and that parents have used the checks for essential items. The Treasury Department, for example, said that data
SamosKiki As bad as this is in its own right, & indeed fuck Manchin for many reasons including this, the fact that this kind of talk from him was familiar w/i the privacy of his colleagues is what's really fucked up because we wouldn't have known this about him otherwise. dscc
Manchin must think that they are deplorable
Wow - Senator Manchin thinks so little of his constituents!
This proves how out- of- touch wealthy politicians (very often) are, and it’s scary as hell.
Parents may uses it for life saving drugs or surgeries for their kids to have and survived.
Guess he really does have a high opinion of his fellow Americans.
That is like saying people can use their Social Security check on drugs. He is a nut and must resign. The people of WV need to have new leadership Manchin is a weirdo. Manchin is working overtime lobbying to keep the poor depending on his rich oil and coal barons.
If they're going to use for deer hunting. Then so be it if they bring their family along the trip and hunting.
So this is what he really thinks about the people of West Virginia.
Someone spends too much time on their house boat.
And some will. There’s always a small percentage who will abuse any leg up. It’s the price you pay to help the vast majority who will use it for food, rent, heat, gas. So let it go.
That is simply not true in the very most parts. Only very few who might have.
…..and behold this Ilhan 💎gem MSNBC in response to MumbleManchin

WHY IS IT THAT WHEN SOMEONE DON,T WANT YOU TO HAVE SOMETHING. THEY ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THE BAD YOU MAY DO. AND NOT THE GOOD
These questions are NEVER raised when giving rich ppl all those tax breaks. Think everyone of them are using the extra cash to feed the homeless? FOH Joe!
Sources to get even with the Senator!
Really Joe? That’s all you got
The Manchins have a long history of grifting their fellow West Virginians. Joe knows criminal activity when he sees it.
He might be on to something
What he really meant was they may save up their $$ to purchase Maseratis and yachts, like your typical West Virginian.
Yeah, so? Drug use is true on a per capita basis. Hey Joe, look around at your fellow senators and drug use on a per capital basis.
Exactly just like they sell their food stamps! They take money from people and then let them shop with their food stamp card
I’m not thrilled with the child tax credit either. Remove it and let’s get this done! Sen_JoeManchin
Then maybe he needs to prioritize dealing with the opioid crisis in his state. Just a thought.
nobody waste more money then poor people. Hes got a point. and the thing about drugs is. That money doest get taxed when spent. its lost forever.
Does he really think that of his constituents? He really does belong in the other party.
awwww yes...the ole' everyone who is broke is on drugs excuse...how cliché...it has nothing to do with low wages and opportunities being few and far between...all us poors are drug addicted and lazy rhetoric...FFS
Well !!! He is right, there are some low income families that live in public housing, that because of the gangs and violence and drugs available, would use some of the monies for drugs, not all, but more than 70% of them will, it’s the environment created by public housing 🤔
Hell yeah we do! Alcohol, caffeine, juicy juicy, and McDonalds. Tough out here for a gangster.
Bexcuse if there's one stereotype we all know is true, it's the old parents are the biggest drug users and constantly spend money on anything but kids stereotype.
You don't penalize the 90% because of the 10%. If that were the case nothing would ever get done.
Sen_JoeManchin is a massive piece of shit
some of the best mental health and addiction treatments in the world, it does not mitigate the fact that wealthy individuals suffer from such issues at alarming rates
children of wealthy individuals experienced higher rates of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse compared to national rates. There is indeed some truth behind the old adage that money can’t buy happiness; and while money may be able to buy.
Preliminary studies suggest that wealthy individuals have experienced greater levels of anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic despite massive increases in wealth among ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals. Even before the pandemic,
alcohol and drugs as their primary means of coping with stressors of poverty. The reality is that drug addiction, alcoholism, and mental health challenges are not bound by socioeconomic status, but rather affect individuals regardless of how much or how little you have.
The Reality of Wealth and Addiction… There are many stereotypes about socioeconomic status and mental health. A common belief is that drug addiction and alcoholism affect low-income individuals at higher rates than their higher income counterparts as they turn to
Seen it. And tattoos, iPhones, smokes, etc.
This is beyond offensive. Sen_JoeManchin represents a state full of drug abusers. His solution is to starve them out & abuse their children?
They probably would yes.
He’s not wrong
What! You mean like insulin! At $200 to $300 a vial, sounds like they need all the support they can get. What a sad, selfish excuse for a politician.
Drugs you mean like food clothing?
He has -0- proof of this. Most parents spent this on food, utilities and kids clothing.
As if parents aren’t now using their paychecks and or subsidies on drugs! They should be required to keep recipes of purchases to be declared when they file taxes.
.....what sources said that
Most likely the drugs that Manchin's daughter raised the price of!
I CALL BULLSHIT
