Why Manchin can’t support Dems’ $2T Build Back Better bill

Published

on

Democratic Senator Joe Manchin says he will not support the Build Back Better Act, dealing a fatal blow to Biden’s proposed social safety net

Manchin’s stance will effectively end negotiations on the current version of the legislation, with the lawmaker expressing concerns over certain provisions.

At the centre of his disagreement with the bill is how it may worsen already soaring inflation across the United States.

Manchin says President Biden has worked diligently to bring him over the line, but when push comes to shove, he simply can’t support it.

Manchin’s support for the 1.9 trillion dollar spending initiative is necessary for the Democrats to pass the legislation in the tightly-held Senate.

The plan would see an expansion of America’s social safety net, reducing childcare and health care costs, and tackling climate change.

Fellow Senator Bernie Sanders has also responded to Manchin’s failure to support the bill, saying his decision does not represent the views and opinions of his state of West Virginia.

Sanders says almost every Democrat is trying to address a range of social security issues, and Manchin doesn’t have the guts to stand up to powerful special interests.

China’s dominance in the electric vehicle (EV) market is reshaping the global automotive landscape, as acknowledged by Elon Musk, who views Chinese car companies as Tesla’s most formidable competitors.

 

Beyond being a manufacturing hub, China has excelled in EV development, influencing the industry across resource refining, battery production, software, and manufacturing. Established brands such as Audi, Toyota, and BMW are now collaborating with Chinese partners for EV platforms, batteries, and production. This shift is evident in Australia, where China-made car sales have surged 16-fold in the last five years, and top-selling EVs are predominantly Chinese.

Leading Chinese brands like BYD, SAIC Motor’s MG, and Chery are making significant strides in Australia, with ambitious plans and models that outperform established competitors. China’s impact extends beyond its borders, making it a driving force in the global EV market, shaping growth, innovation, and competition in sustainable mobility.
