The Build Back Better Act met its demise back in December. Much of the nation breathed a sigh of relief when Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin announced he would join all 50 Republican senators and oppose the legislation.

In doing this, Manchin blocked the possibility of Biden ever getting the Build Back Better Act passed into law. Due to the 50/50 partisan split of senators, Biden can’t afford to lose a single vote if he wants his agendas to advance.

There were countless problems associated with the Build Back Better Act. For one, the legislation would have granted the IRS reports on American citizens’ bank accounts with more than $10,000 in balances or transactions.

Build Back Better also would’ve significantly run up the national deficit, incentivized illegal immigration, and much worse.

Last year, Manchin made it known after various talks with the White House that he couldn’t and wouldn’t vote for Build Back Better. However, since this past December, some Democrats have remained ceaselessly committed to resurrecting Build Back Better.
