emergency bills which they will all defend. but it s hard for them to snap back now and say what about the deficit and debt. yeah, joe manchin is the only one left that can actually say that with credibility. to that point, mike memoli, let me finish with you. what is the white house s sense of this, do they think that the american public has quit caring, is it monopoly money or what s the big deal? reporter: we ve seen the white house be very quick to respond to complaints coming from especially republicans on that point. but when it relates to the politics of all of this. you also have a white house that has been very mindful of midterm politics throughout the entire process. that s why, even as they push for big expansive programs, they ve been trying to do them in a way that guarantees people feel the benefits of them quickly. the president later this week will be holding an event to mark
