At least one Democrat isn’t giving President Joe Biden a free pass for overseeing the worst inflation in 40 years.
Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia issued a scathing statement on the development on Tuesday, rejecting Biden’s attempts to invoke political excuses for the price squeezes on middle-class Americans.
“Let me be clear, inflation is a tax, and today’s historic inflation data tells another chilling story about how these taxes on Americans are completely out of control,” Manchin said.
Manchin directly criticized Biden’s administration for failing to provide solutions to the problem, instead looking for someone to blame.
“When will this end?

But Joe, we see that you were quite ok in confirming Jackson.

Why does Joe Manchin stay in the Democrat party? They hate him and are opposed to everything he wants. He knows he will never get anything he want's from the Democrats and yet he stays a Democrat. Why?

This isn't the first time Manchin has pounded his chest like Tarzan, bellowed a might jungle call, and vote for whatever Diaper Joe demands. Moderate Democrats are as rare as Tinker Bell and Unicorns.

Manchin has quickly become the Demon-Rat Romney. He still votes with them most of the time, but still throws a wrench in their plans often enough to drive them crazy!!!! It's sweet to watch on their side for a change.
Hopefully Romney will be primaried out of office the next time he comes up for election. But Manchin is actually in a safer place. He is about the only Demon-Rat that would have a chance to win in his mostly conservative state. If the Demon-Rats were to replace him to punish him, that would be as good as handing his seat to the Republicans.

The inflation is a result of the huge out of control spending binge the Democrats and Deep Staters have pursed since they got in total power. It has nothing to do with Putin and neither do the high gas prices. Elections, especially stolen elections have enormous consequences. We will suffer. Hopefully we will learn. I'm not optimistic.

Inflation is policy. On Day One Biden deliberately put in place policies designed to bring about historic inflation.
Ruinous inflation is one of Biden's few accomplishments..

A politician never, ever does anything for the people. A politician only does what will give him more power, what is good for him.

I appreciate when Manchin makes a good decision but he can make some really bad ones. Point in case, Judge Brown Jackson which was a very very bad decision. I sometimes believe democrats allow him to play devil’s advocate to keep the moderates from fleeing their wretched party.

If nothing else, Joe stopped some of the left's socialist plans. I thank him for that.

I would bet my House he's going to run for President! He has positioned himself as the Moderate Democrat that many in his Party are crying for! Moderate Democrats are as appalled as we Republicans at the damage Biden and his Pals have caused our Country. They don't want to see Millions of Illegals walking into our Country. They hate Gas Prices and Empty Grocery store shelves. So, when Manchin comes along and is the Lone person in Congress who has a Level Head and the Guts to stop Biden, HE becomes their Trump! He will win the Democrat Nomination for President!

There is an exception to every rule and Sen. Manchin has certainly shown that not all democrats are brainless. The question is. where are the republicans in making their voices heard alongside Manchin?

How can coherent Joe make thia critique? As a U.S. Senator like his Supreme court vote, He's not an economist!

There are only 2 reasons for the current inflation rate - TaliBiden printing money and TaliBiden shutting down US oil production. Prices for everything started going up within 48 hours of TaliBiden being declared the winner of the election. The price of gas had doubled in my area before Putin lifted a finger. When the price of gas goes up, the price of everything goes up.

No one outside the fantasy land of DC is buying the ‘Putin did it’ excuse. The rampant inflation, supply chain collapse and soaring fuel prices well precedes the Ukranian war. Biden’s handlers have made a world class cluster out of everything they’ve touched. They are incompetent, stupid, and bent on destroying the country. Democrats/media still trying to defend this and the lying liars trying to cover for it are despicable and everyone knows it - even the idiots who still claim to support this demented fool.

Even though Manchin tosses our side a bone every now and then, I would not vote for him if he was the ONLY person on the ballot in either or both parties! Can a leopard change his spots?

Manchin is from the Lindsay Graham Wing of the party, and we don't need another one of them. One spoonful of vinegar in the wine doesn't make good vinegar.

Manchin needs to do the right thing for West Virginia and exit that communist party.

Several months ago someone postulated that Manchin and Romney could be positioning themselves to run on the same ticket in the 2024 presidential election in an effort to move the country back to the political center. Could this happen? Wouldn’t that be frightening?
As #11, said, there are many democrats that are unhappy with the direction the country is going and are sick and embarrassed by their current leadership and their supporting liberal henchmen in congress and the media, but there are also many Republicans who are embarrassed by the MAGA faction of their party. This could create “the perfect storm.”

If Manchin voted for even one dollar of COVID TRILLIONS, he's the problem, like all the others...including the President who signed off on the appropriations for stimulus, paycheck protection, and other such cash transfers, not to mention stuff like "Project Warp Speed", whose Magic Elixir is suddenly poison.

It costs more than double to fill my gas tank...now that the democrats are playing with the economy....I've had to redo my budget three times since President Trump left office...it makes you wonder...are the democrats really that stupid or are they doing it on purpose....I get the feeling...they really are that stupid...

Why is Manchin — from ultra-MAGA West Virginia! — still a Democrat? He would serve his state and America better if he switched parties and turned the Senate over to the Republicans. I don’t understand his loyalty to a Democrat Party that no longer exists.
