Reich on the Reconciliation Bill

See his Facebook post. Reich is confident that Pelosi will stick to her guns and demand the reconciliation bill be passed with the infrastructure bill. He's also confident that Bernie in the Senate will do the same. 

Of course we need to convince Manchin, who last weekend said the reconciliation bill costs too much. What he refuses to acknowledge is that that bill will create jobs and tax dollars to more than make up for the cost. It's just that it also creates jobs in renewable energy, which by default decreases fossil fuel jobs and investment, his main bribers. Also Manchin is beholden to other corporate bribers who'd have to pay for the programs via higher tax rates.

To get the reconciliation bill passed relatively intact is going to take some real strong-arm negotiation on the parts of Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and Bernie. Here's hoping they hold fast on their commitments to we the people and we get this done.
