So each year Obama has proposed a detailed budget. It is completely unfair for you to continue to post as if there is no budget. It has been done with continuing resolutions and brinkmanship and threats of government showdowns but details of what Obama proposed are readily available and the spending of the government is available as well.
So when people post asking to see the Romney/Ryan proposed budget please don't reply that there is no budget, they are asking for his proposal to compare to the Obama proposal. Simple |
If you say so.....
"President Obama's budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it.
Coupled with the House's rejection in March, 414-0, that means Mr. Obama's budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year."

If you think this is the way to run the country and you guys have had TOTAL control for two years and the WH for the last three....
I suppose this is what the leadership in the oval office wants...
"The cost, say analysts, is that Congress is once again allowing the federal budget process to remain rudderless and lawmakers unaccountable as the nation lurches toward fiscal crisis.
“Congress is legally required to consider a budget resolution every year, but there’s no penalty for not doing it, and no one has any standing to sue,” says Stan Collender, a longtime congressional budget analyst with Qorvis Communications in Washington.
Historically, the job of proposing and approving a budget has been a crucial one for the Congress.
While actual line-by-line spending decisions are made later, during the appropriations process, the budget is the one federal document that lays out a vision for the nation's finances. It is designed to be the moment when Congress takes a hard look at the books and makes sound plans for America's fiscal future.
The lack of a budget plan for the past three years has exacerbated America's fiscal problems because, for three years, Congress has not passed a roadmap to bring spiraling deficits under control. "

Now all that financial woe is about to come down on us right after the election. All the lack of discipline will show its face and the cuts that all are moaning about today within the Ryan budget will NEED to be made anyway, THUS why not an honest debate instead of the constant onslaught of tax the rich, which EVERY economist in the country and I mean all will tell you that will not alone even scratch the surface of our problems, yet we continue on like innocent children.....one side wants to discuss it, unpleasant as it may be because it is inevitable, and the other side simply ridicules people and tries to destroy individuals instead of discussing what this country will face.
Of course you can have it anyway you want, that is what you can do.
