President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will try to find loopholes to enact the "radical ideas" being promoted by progressives, even if the Build Back Better Act won't have enough votes to pass without Sen. Joe Manchin's approval, Sen. Joni Ernst said on Newsmax Tuesday.

"I do think that the Democrats will keep pushing on this," the Iowa Republican said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America," adding that the continued push is "unfortunate."

"These are programs that we simply can't afford," said Ernst. "Taxpayers are already suffering from inflation this year. It's not transitory inflation. This inflation is here to stay for quite a while, and until we get those problems solved, we shouldn't even be taking this up. I hope that President Biden understands that, and again, it's a very widely unpopular idea across the United States."

Ernst said she hasn't spoken with the West Virginia Democrat, but she is "thankful" that he is refusing to vote for the massive spending bill.

"Joe did the right thing," she said, noting that polling from his state showed its residents didn't want the bill. -- excerpt, rest at link above --
