Another major concern for the department is the likely expense of a court battle with the two companies, each of which has a market value exceeding $1 trillion. That issue became more fraught this week when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) torpedoed Democrats’ Build Back Better package, which would have given DOJ a $500 million boost for antitrust enforcement.

Experts tend to back them up, noting that the just-signed infrastructure bill and the still-being-negotiated Build Back Better Act, Biden’s social policy legislation, are largely paid for and would not be expected to infuse a huge amount of money into the economy quickly. But that isn’t exactly true… Source link

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) threw a monkey wrench into Democratic plans to quickly pass their proposed $3.5 trillion budget plan with an op-ed last week that called for a “pause.” And while the Democratic-led House is “moving at light speed” to pass the legislation, Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above), Sen.
