The REAL reason Joe Manchin pulled out of BBB [follow the money edition]

As you know from reading the Morning Sixpack, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin pulled his support from President Biden's Build Back Better bill, citing concerns of rising inflation, a growing deficit, omicron, and "ghosts!" as reasons looking for a problem.


The REAL reason he's said he can't (i.e., won't) vote for it is because it holds coal mining companies responsible for paying for injuries to its workers.


He owns a coal mining company and has invested in others.


Follow the money, folks. Always -- and ESPECIALLY where politicians are involved.
