Just read that the change will save 12 billion in a 1.9 trillion dollar bill. It isn't about the savings, i's about limiting who gets checks, which is just terrible politics.
I think Manchin is sincere(and I do think this is being led by Manchin) but I don't understand why he thinks this is the better bill. It doesn't save enough money to matter and it's going to piss off a lot of high propensity voters.
