Another Way To Stall Entitlement Reform
« on: October 03, 2011, 06:02:40 AM »
President Obama continues to be irresponsible on budgetary duties.......... The President of the United States has a duty, annually, to submit a budget to congress that has some measure of fiscal sanity which can then be debated in congress...........  Ultimately, a committee composed of members of the House and the Senate meet, in a process called “conference”, and arrive at a compromise of expenditures that can be approved by a majority of all parties.......  But that’s not what happened.......

 Instead, Obama submitted a Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 budget of $3.7 trillion dollars that almost tripled the size of the federal budget from the previous year and would have increased the federal debt by over $7 trillion dollars............. 

Needless to say, the President’s Budget was voted down. Indeed the senate didn't just vote down Obama's budget, but instead delivered a stunning vote of no confidence 0-97............. Never before has a president been so totally rebuked by a senate controlled by his own party faithful.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Congress' complete and total failure to pass a budget lies squarely on Dingy Harry's shoulders. How a Senate Majority Leader can literally bring both houses of Congress to a standstill mystifies me to no end -- sorta reminds me of the government that does not exist in the Netherlands.

How is that possible?

When Dingy Harry makes comments like these you know the Guy That Gargles Phlegm is not only a lunatic, he's a dangerous one at that.
