thought among progressives, who say, do all the programs, but do them on a shorter time horizon to make sure they get in, even if they have to expire. that s one of several questions that party leaders will have to resolve. and one of the ways you know that, they re not quite there in terms of getting an agreement is that the two rival factions are not moving yet on their price tag. senator joe manchin of west virginia is still calling for $1.5 trillion. senator bernie sanders is still calling more $3.5 trillion. that s a lot of ground to make up and they only have 20 days until their new self-imposed deadline at the end of october. there s a forcing mechanism that democrats are grappling with and growing anxiety about this. that s the issue of the child tax credit. it s a centerpiece of the american rescue plan, a proud accomplishment that democrats are touting and hoping to campaign on in 2022. but there s just one problem. that money drys up at the end of this year. it expires. come

the president. i ll take the other side of that. just a second, this ukrainian president, who is out and facing his own problems, was known to have aided some pro russian people within his government to allow attacks on his own people, technically. super corrupt. horible that. s where a lot of this money was from, for manafort. the minute he was out of power, manafort s finances started to dry up. does any of that matters? . we re learning how consultant the corrupt group is in washington, d.c. the money drys up domestically, they go to other regimes that will pay tons of money for a little bit of influence. it is the way d.c. elites, on the left and the right, what about tony podesta, he did it as well, same deal. you see how the case i laying out as you said, though he made an absolute fortune overseas from people connected to the
