Sen. Joe Manchin resists own party, delivers possible death blow to Democrats' massive spending bill: 'Fiscal insanity' - TheBlaze: 

Manchin sounded the alarm that spending trillions would cause even more inflation that would hurt American families.

The Consumer Price Index climbed 5.3% in August from a year earlier. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned lawmakers this week that inflation will likely continue in the coming months.

"While I am hopeful that common ground can be found that would result in another historic investment in our nation, I cannot — and will not — support trillions in spending or an all or nothing approach that ignores the brutal fiscal reality our nation faces," Manchin said.
