West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin is weighing in with criticism against President Joe Biden's college debt relief plan, joining other centrists who have taken shots at the move.
'I just think there's a better way to do it. You have to earn it,' he told reporters in the Capitol Tuesday, joining GOP criticism of the plan that wipes away college loans for people who meet income thresholds.
Manchin provided crucial support for Biden's Inflation Adjustment Act, which the White House sold in part by pointing to an expected $300 billion in debt relief funded in part through a new surtax on stock buybacks.

Manchin specializes in insincerity. He secretly endorses the student loan vote buy.

Manchin is a political chameleon. Do not trust the piece of sheet.

Manchin is against it...maybe...not that it matters. If WVA elects and re-elects him, they deserve and own him.

It’s always easier to be against something you were not asked to vote for.

There is a big difference between a registered nurse who took out student loans, obtained a bachelor of science in nursing degree and has been working in a healthcare setting; and someone else who took out a student loan and then either obtained some worthless certificate or did not attend college at all. So who do you think earned some loan forgiveness?

Manchin what you think no longer matters, you betrayed the people who thought you had principles.
You showed your true colors, now just keep on kissing Biden and Schumer's a*sses and forget having any respect, you have lost it all with your betrayal.

This is who Manchin is. I’ve seen it over and over. He talks the talk until it’s time to vote. Every single time.

Manchin approves and votes for the waste of a trillion dollars here because it benefits him and criticizes the waste of a trillion dollars there. It's all a waste of our money, doofus.

I hesitate to speak ill of the dead but John McCain and Arlen Specter played this same game. Going back a little further, so did John Murtha and Robert Kleagle Byrd. it's nothing new.

Manchin lost all credibility when he proved, yet again, he could be bought off.
