Does Joe Manchin realize he represents the 2nd poorest state in the country?

[bripat9643]

The government wastes a trillion a year on security, fights wars in places most Americans can't find on the map, and now that we're $30 TRILLION in debt, let's go ahead and let a million American kids starve this winter.

That'll teach those freeloaders.

Sanctioning our own people.

So they are going to starve this winter, but they didn't starve last winter?

How big of a fucking moron are you?

I'm sure others have pointed this out, but just to underscore it:

The Dems destroyed the coal industry in WVA with their Marxist Moonbattery. They destroyed jobs, which is why unemployed coal workers are poor.

 

[rightwinger]

Joe Manchin has no control over the poverty in his state

But he can vote on Federal Programs that can help those struggling in his state

Programs like healthcare, education, childcare, infrastructure, poverty programs

Trump says only 9% of the BBB bill was going to infrastructure, and he's right --100% should be.

It wouldn't be because they're medications cost more than the food they need every month.

BBB is not traditional infrastructure
The bill that passed WAS formal infrastructure, Trump lies and says only 9 percent is infrastructure

Second only to Mississippi, West Virginia is home to some of the worst poverty in the US., but if you're like Senator Joe Manchin, worth $8 million (that we know of), the grass is a little greener on the other side of the fence.

He probably really cares about his constituents, but he drew the shortest straw and was picked to be the bad guy.

Joe Manchin is betraying West Virginia

West Virginia's coal industry is doomed. Joe Manchin wants to take the whole state down with it.

the very last thing we need is a low wage work force. But the dims and rethugs for some reason think that those jobs just need to be filled? For whom?

Better run, your short bus is about to leave for the sanitarium.

Manchin says it's governments job to be a partner, not the provider. I don't know why commies would have a problem with that concept.

.

Partner to who? With 20% of the people of West Virginia without teeth, government isn't a partner to anyone. Governments partner took their money and ran.

No it was an ambulance with your Uncle Jim Bob who's dying of lead poisoning.

A new analysis released Monday by the Environmental Integrity Project and other advocacy groups looked at federally-mandated groundwater data from 265 coal plants and their more than 550 coal ash sites across the country.

The data show unsafe levels of pollutants including lead, arsenic and mercury are leaking into nearby groundwater from coal ash sites at 14 coal-fired power plants in Kentucky, 10 in Ohio, and 7 in West Virginia.

“This is a crisis because coal ash is poisoning an invaluable and irreplaceable resource,” said Lisa Evans, senior counsel with the environmental advocacy group Earthjustice, and one of the co-authors of the report. “Even if this water is not now used for drinking, contaminated groundwater flows to lakes and streams and can contaminate these waters making them unsafe for fishing, recreation and irrigation.”

State Manchin's "corruption."

Is he toothless? If you're answer is no, then that's your answer.

Corporations aren't interested in safe drinking water. Its up to citizens to watch them close!y and monitor. Look at what DuPont got away with. Terrible.

They'll be quieter now that I brought up their hero Dick Cheney's "Clean Water Act" of 2005.
(In 2005 under the Bush-Cheney administration, the Energy Policy Act freed fracking from regulations required by the Environmental Protection Agency's underground injection control program, which is designed to protect underground drinking water sources.)

It's a shame you commies have never been taught the separation of powers between the States and the feds. And you're obviously not interested in educating yourself.

Didn't we fight a war over that?
