Thursday’s CBS MorningsAnother segment was followed ExtollingKansas voters cheered similarly for the defeat of a prolife referendum leftist spending in Congress through the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” and fretting that Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) “could torpedo the whole plan.”
“Well, a bill covering other big elements in the Biden agenda could be close to getting a vote after months of negotiations. But Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema has not promised her support, and that could torpedo the whole plan,” frettedCBS Saturday Morning co-host Michelle Miller.
Usually obsessed with January 6, congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane lamented that Sinema hasn’t committed to the tax and spend boondoggle penned by Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and specifically “one of the tax provisions of the bill which would scale back an existing tax break for investment fund managers, some of whom have donated significantly to Sinema’s campaign.”
MacFarlane played the part of focusing on liberal priorities (such as tax breaks for the rich and protecting ObamaCare) as a positive and that passage would mean “a big victory” for their team:
This would mark a major victory for both the Biden Administration and congressional Democrats less than 100 days before the midterm elections. People who choose to buy fuel-efficient or energy-efficient automobiles and appliances will enjoy tax relief under the bill. Bills also provide billions in subsidies for Affordable Care Act health care. These are intended to help lower prescription drug costs, and reduce the nation’s debt.
MacFarlane offered a counter view, and disinformation in the last seconds. “Republicans criticize that name and have told CBS News raising taxes at a time of inflation and possible recession is potentially dangerous to the economy.”
“Possible recession,” Scott?
At the end of the day, you have to at least somewhat admire MacFarlane’s commitment to doing the bidding of his liberal overlords, even if it means ignoring facts about our economy.

[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Spending Bill in the Balance; Sen. Sinema Is Lone Democratic Holdout on $793B Spending Bill]
MICHELLE MILLER : A bill that covers other major elements of the Biden agenda may be in line for a vote, after many months of negotiation. However, Democratic Senator Kyrsten Silena hasn’t promised to support the bill and this could jeopardize the entire plan. Scott MacFarlane has arrived at Capitol Hill. Good morning Scott.
SCOTT MACFARLANE : Michelle, it’s good to see you. Joe Manchin made a surprising deal last week. Now all eyes will be on Kyrsten Sinema (Arizona), a moderate Senate Democrat. She has been seen huddled with her fellow senators during the week amid reports that she is pushing back on a tax provision of the bill. It would cut back a current tax break for investment manager, some of who have given a significant amount to Sinema. Her other goal is to increase funding for drought programs. It would be a huge victory for the Biden administration, and the congressional Democrats. This is less than 100 day before midterm elections. Popular tax cuts are provided for those who purchase energy-efficient vehicles or appliances. Billions of dollars will also be used to increase health care subsidies under the Affordable Health Care Act to lower certain prescription drug costs. Also, the bill includes new taxes that some corporations may have to pay in order to decrease the national debt. The Inflation Reduction Act has been the name used by Democrats. Republicans disagree with this name. They told CBS News that raising taxes in times of possible recession and inflation is dangerous for the economy.
