Perhaps biggest sign we're not in fiscal policy Kansas any more is that Manchin's big substantive policy demand is that he wants higher corporate taxes and upper income taxes to fund a multi-trillion dollar infrastructure bill. IOW, he doesn't want it only covered with borrowing.

Yeah, that's definitely the obvious thing. Corporate tax hikes probably isn't what lures the GOP in.
-
Surely a committed populist like Hawley would leap at the chance to outflank Democrats on this.

unlikely. he could be a republican at any moment of his choosing. not saying it couldn't happen. but i'm pretty sure it's wrong to think that's his desired outcome.

I think he's giving the Republicans enough room to force a change to the filibuster. When they don't engage in real policy and real negotiation, he'll have all the reason he needs to kill the filibuster

There is not one Republican who will vote for an infrastructure program that contains any tax increases.

I doubt any Republican would support the Biden bill anyways. Manchin is also telling Biden to do taxes in the infrastructure bill, and that he’s prepared to vote for it via reconciliation.
