Joe Manchin cites “fake” GOP numbers to demand last-minute cuts to Biden's Build Back Better

Salon  

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is pushing for more cuts to the Democrats' Build Back Better package as Senate Majority Chuck Schumer races to pass the bill before Christmas. But Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., in an apparent bid to sway Manchin's vote, requested a CBO analysis of how much it would cost to make all the programs in the bill permanent for 10 years. RELATED: Joe Manchin throws last-minute wrench in Democrats' infrastructure negotiations The White House on Monday rejected the deficit projection as "fake." "What you're talking about here is a fake CBO score that is not based on the actual bill that anybody is voting on," White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters.
