Manchin has come up with another insincere "reason" to reject the Build Back Better (relief) bill.

He is learning the Republican way of speaking: as long as you don't contradict yourself within one sentence, people will accept it.

US citizens: call on Biden to end the wrecker's Medicare privatization scheme.

US citizens: call on the FDIC to quash subterfuges to evade the laws on payday lending.

Payday lending is a form of exploitation to which workers become vulnerable because they don't get paid enough. We need to cure the disease as well as prevent this symptom.

Biden has restored a sanctions waiver for Iran, which had been cancelled by the wrecker.

Proposing that for people convicted of causing a disturbance on an airplane should not be allowed to fly as passengers on commercial flights. I am in favor of this: the punishment fits the crime and should help to deter it.

The current US "no-fly" list is unjust because it is a secret punishment imposed without trial. This proposed punishment would be part of a sentence for a criminal conviction — thus, not sharing that particular injustice at all.

Rather than lumping this sentence together with the unjust arbitrary punishment that has existed for 20 years, we should contrast them as much as possible.
