not in the current budget sense, no, but (a) with lib hat on - would be harder for dems to say we can't do good things (b) with a nihilist hat on - destabilizing economics of american budget into further erratic movements is good (c) functionally it requires more ironclad grip during any majority by capital on its servants, you can't just buy two manchins, you'll have to buy 5 or 6, which will increase their attrition rates
