On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) stated that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s approach to the debt ceiling is “most reasonable” and argued that spending reductions of 5-10% across the board should be explored.
Manchin stated, [relevant remarks begin around 3:45] “Kevin and I had a nice conversation a couple of weeks ago. And I think he’s most reasonable taking the approach, can’t we at least recognize 31.5 trillion is unmanageable and we shouldn’t be passing on to our children and grandchildren, we’re writing checks they can’t cash. And I know the president’s personality,

I gotta believe the roots of the Manchin family tree started in the Garden of Eden selling apples!

"Most Reasonable" according to the pond scum commie death democrat Manchin. That means that McCarthy is once again siding against We, the citizens of the soon to be Ununited States of America and betraying us to the communist death democrats. Spending cuts. What a joke. Where are the conservative members in the House while McCarthy is cozying up to Biden and the communist death democrats in the House and Senate? Crickets.
Until at least 95% of all government workers are fired and entire Agencies abolished no real change will happen.

Manchin knows his political days are dead when he voted for the Inflation reduction act that by the way funded 87,000 IRS agents. In my opinion, he rates up there with Pence. Go away Joe!!!

The most disingenuous critter in Congress. Look at what Manchin has voted for, not what he says.

After voting for the $1 trillion spending bill, NOW Manchin thinks cutting spending is a good idea? What a hypocritical rat.

Manchin is a backstabbing liar. There will be no spending reductions.
Everybody knows the game . Pelosi wants a 100% increase in the budget,
McCarthy talks her down to a 50% increase, and they both announce a spending cut of 50%.
Stop doing business with Democrats on the debt or anything else.

It’s obvious that Manchin sees the handwriting on the wall. For all his talk, he’s still a lousy Democrat (as my mother used to say!) attempting to save his lucrative Senate career.

He is a politician. I do not believe a word he, or other politicians, say. I only believe what they do or don't do.

Ah, but would it be an actual SPENDING reduction rather than former smoke and mirrors reductions in the rate of spending growth?

I know everyone hates Manchin, he is definitely Two-Faced. But! He could be very useful if Kevin could coax him to jump to the Republican side. After all, we can't get ANYTHING done the way the Senate is now. If we had only ONE more Senator on Our side, think what we could do! Having BOTH Houses would mean we could really tank Biden's Spending! I think it would be worth it to take Manchin in! We could use Sinema to jump to our side as well!! Mitch would love to have more Democrats, He already has a Few on our side that Swing Both Ways!

Stop speaking for the black man in charge of your party in the house, you racist.

I would prefer a 10% reduction in the size of government as a starting point. Reduce the budget of every government department and agency by 10%, and fire 10% of all government employees. That's my starting point.

Everyone is worried about putting a lot of government workers out on the street, but none of them worried about putting private sector workers out on the street. And the private sector taxes are what funds everything.

We can save a huge chunk by telling the FBI to stand down on building a new facility larger than the pentagon. In fact, just defund them altogether!

when joe manchin has something of real value to say then ... I might listen but until then he should shut his mouth and concentrate on disarming the demcommie leadership in the senate and I place my two senators (Warren & Markey) at the top of the list as to who should be un-elected in the next round, the platitudes and gibberish by most of these senators is getting to be intolerable
"‘Most Reasonable’" and "5-10% Spending Reduction" certainly describes Kevin McCarthy but not in any way joe manchin

I have no problem with the percentage. But it must come from the right source. Climate change, green energy, unconstitutional activities, unearned benefits, foreign aid to ingrates. There is far more than 10% there - not counting 'waste and fraud'.

Defund at least 10% a year for 5 years.
Combine some of the depts and agencies.
Have qualified individuals from private industry evaluate as to which depts are worth keeping.

10% across the board reduction would be a good START.

"Tepid," cuts for the usual, 'go along to get along,' will not help this time! The beltway dems & RINOS have brought the USA to this low point demonstrating this is exactly what they want! Now that they have nearly ruined the entire economy, this country definitely does not want more of the same!

Joe, the Democrats view you as a traitor, and the Republicans don't trust you.
Your political career is over.
