Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), a crucial moderate Democrat, has expressed reservations over the mounting costs associated with implementing President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda.
His comments come after Biden unveiled a $1.8 trillion plan to expand educational opportunities and child care for families, dubbed the American Family Plan. The plan is expected to be funded by an increase of the top individual tax rate from 37 percent to 39.6 percent for taxpayers in the top 1 percent of income.
