Maybe, this will get President Obama to flush out his plans for the debt a little more. I am not sure what exactly President Obama has in the way of a budget. From my research, though, it is Congresses' job to implement the Federal Budget, the President just give the skeleton of an idea, Congress puts on the nerves, sinew, cartilage, nails, fat, organs like the heart & brain, etc.

Which I might add the congress DID, but the senate refused to even discuss it. I might add also that Obama's own budget was voted on and was unaminously defeated in both houses of congress, so not sure why you mention congress' responsiblity. One house met it and the other did not...yet we always criticize the one that did !!!
And would it not be wonderful if the President came clean...he MUST cut, but he will not talk about it...just blame the other guy.
There are surely details as to WHY, of course and that would be an interesting discussion to have...but facts are....the president's budget was shot down, the senate did nothing and the house made a budget and it never got to the floor of the senate, joining so many other bills like the one to stop the stealing of taxpayer money by illegal immigrant !
