I am surprised that they passed the funding bill so quickly, but the Senate still has the 2022 Defense Authorization bill to get through as well. That hasn't been going smoothly so far.
Manchin is the key to getting the BBB bill passed, and he is signaling he is opposed to the gimmicks in it that aim to make it appear cheaper. Then there are the trade issues mentioned above. The simple answer is to drop the EV union portion from the bill, but I don't think that sits well with certain lawmakers who need union support in the mid-term elections. I also think that is a much smaller issue than the bigger spending programs in the bill.
I'm taking delivery in the next week or two - I would maybe wait if I could - but I am quite skeptical that this gets done by the end of the year.
