We might do that when Republicans quit saying,"Obama had not presented a budget." He did,and the Congress turned it down.I blame both Democrats and Republicans for the Congress being a do nothing group.
I just received this email.
It just hit me!
My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him.
His meals are provided at no cost to him.
He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year, if any medical needs arise.
For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
He is living like a king, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living.
I was just thinking about all this and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks.........
My dog is a CONGRESSMAN !!!!!!!

No, we won't.
The GOP is always screaming about debt and the deficit, yet it has yet to offer any kind of coherent rational plan to deal with it.
They hated Obama's 2009 bugdet, so after a few weeks of being asked, they submitted their own.......with no numbers.
Paul Ryan's draconian Hardingesque budget is lacking in numbers too, and has already been scored by the CBO as unworkable.
So, we have a party that screams about debt when it is out of power, and borrows and spends like no tomorrow when it is in power.
Are you telling us that it's too much to ask for them to behave like responsible people for a change?

oh well hell like that matters? lol Did you catch all the lefty troll(s) claiming NO republicans supported the payroll tax cut? After posting up the vote and various other facts, they ignored it. Typical. They also ignored Nancy Pelosi's opposition to extending the payroll tax. (and numerous other dems) ...good luck

Nor would it be supported by the US public. Do you ever put your fandom of the GOP aside long enough to wonder why that is?
Didn't think so.

YES they have.
I have already told you at leastr 6 times WHAT they want for cuts.
Not going to repeat it.

How do you know this?
IF, you idiots do not know, or have said that there is no R list, then such a list doesnt exist.
Right?
So if you and the public wouldnt go along with a R cut, why do you insist that the Rs make one?

So in other words, the GOP gets to TALK about cutting Government....but won't actually tell us where they woould do it because "it would never get past the Senate".
Well, why don't they just fold up shop over at the House of Representatives then? No point in listening to a bunch of people make all these vague claims...they "cannot" come through with, huh?

It is quite clear what the GOP means by cuts.
GordonGecko
President
No, it's not. Since they laid out NO SPECIFICS on what they wanted to cut and by how much during the "fiscal cliff" negotiations.
And why didn't they? Well, we could go with YOUR theory...that "It wouldn't have mattered, it would have died in the Senate" (i.e. there's no point in even listening to a House Repub talk spending cuts since it doesn't matter anyway)....
or we might go with...."Because if they did? Real, large, substantial cuts....would hurt them politically and electorally both in the polls and in 2014...and that's what they are REALLY concerned with...not deficits and debt."
Quite clear?
You are correct. The GOP wants to further enrich the wealthy on the backs of the poor.
fxstc
Council Member
And, you dont think dems would be worried?
I agree. There isnt one, either party, that will get up and say what is REALLY needed.
fxstc
Council Member
Flippant remarks don't serve your agenda.
The right wants food stamps cut, unemployment insurance cut...lower taxes on the wealthy and higher ones on the poor. Every piece of GOP legislation is tilted towards the wealthy.
Arkady
President
How do you know, if they don't propose it? For example, if Republicans proposed a cut in our absurdly bloated military budget, that would immunize Obama and the Senate Democrats against charges they were soft on defense if they supported such a cut, and I think they'd do so. Do you disagree?
fxstc
Council Member
Thats NOT what they want.
I will repeat.
They want the BLBudgeting cut.
There is no need for the BLB anyway.
fxstc
Council Member
They did.
BL:Budgeting allows for a 9% increase in the military.
Rs want 4.5 increase. as do they want for all BLBudgeting items.
Repeat all you want.
They offer nothing, yet you can say what they want??? And are you actually stating that the GOP hasn't argued for lower taxes on the wealthy? Sorry...you need to pay attention.
I guess we are to assume that BLB is base line budget? It doesn't appear as a common acronym anywhere.
