Senate rejects Ryan budget (http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/163307-senate-votes-down-ryan-budget-medicare-)
The Senate on Wednesday resoundingly rejected a budget sponsored by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that calls for significant cuts to future Medicare benefits. >>>
Five Republican senators voted against a motion to take up the ambitious House budget plan, which suffered only four Republican defections when it passed the lower chamber earlier this year.
Four centrists voted no: Sens. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine). Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who favored larger budget cuts than what was proposed in Ryan’s budget, was the fifth no vote. >>>
In a statement after the vote, Ryan defended his budget and rebuked Senate Democrats for failing to advance a detailed alternative. >>>
Republican leaders did not pressure colleagues to vote for Ryan’s budget >>>
========================================
Typical. Too many Senate Republican 'Repukes' or RINOs run for the tall grass as the least sign of resistance from the Dems.
Where the H-E double L is the leadership when we need them? Why on earth have 2 partys if they're going to pretend to be on diff sides but still end up going in the same direction when push comes to shove?

Democrats - the party of NO - voted No all every budget proposal. Every one. It's no wonder they couldn't get a budget done before the last election. :loser: :loser: :loser:

A budget would be a cap on spending. Cant have that if were expected to bankrupt this country can we?
Saul Alinsky would not approve.
