Joe Manchin Gets Up and *Leaves* in Middle of Schumer’s Victory Lap on Debt Ceiling Hike (beckernews.com)

How much money does the Federal Government take in? Think of all the different ways they take in money. That is still not enough?

“I thank, very much thank, my Democratic colleagues, for showing our unity in solving this Republican-manufactured crisis,” he added.

“Despite immense opposition from Leader McConnell and members of his conference, our caucus held together and we pulled our country back from the cliff’s edge that Republicans tried to push us over,” he continued.

After the Senate hearing, Manchin talked about the impending December debt-limit hike decision:
