Two people (maybe another half dozen, quietly)
No, I believe it is more than two democratic senators, I don't know how many. That is why I put half dozen, in parenthesis.
Poll after poll shows the legislation is popular, even in Manchin's own state. Same in Arizona. What provisions of the bill do you disagree with?
- throwaway6734 5y agoIndividual components polling well does not necessarily mean the package as a whole will poll well. Also Americans are incredibly fickle (look at polling associated with remaining in Afghanistan). I don't support expansion to medicare or medicaid (although the ability to negotiate on drug prices seems reasonable). We are already facing a looming funding crisis for social security & medicare and I don't think it's reasonable to put even more debt on future generations. If the US wants a European style social safety net, the US middle class is going to need to help pay for it which I don't think they're willing to do.
