Why doesn't the Senate pass the House Progressive Caucus Budget?


 
House GOP members want the Senate to pass a budget? There's an excellent budget prepared by the House Progressive Caucus that would go a long way toward solving the deficit problem and putting Americans back to work. Why doesn't the Senate just pass that budget and send it to the House? Oh, the GOP want the Senate to pass their budget? Too bad; it seems we have a difference of opinion. Isn't that what negotiations are about? Let's start on the Democratic side with a budget we can support! Of course, I doubt McConnell and his band of GOP Senate wonks would even let such a budget come to a vote. Then Democrats could really go after the GOP!!

One problem DUmmy, that so called budget would have to pass the house, and just because a handful of moonbats support it doesn't mean it can pass in the house.

1. The Senate can vote on a budget?

I think someone needs to tell them, they haven't voted on any budget in about four years.

Talk to Harry Reid about that one.

3. They should start with the President's budget as submitted

If his budget was so bad that not even Harry Reid could vote for it, it had to be really bad.

From what I remember, it's the ONLY budget proposal that actually balances the budget AND balances it in a relatively short period of time. Something like a decade or a little over.

And as a negotiating tool it would be a GREAT start. As to the Blue Dog senators, let them vote AGAINST a budget that actually balances the budget (relatively) quickly and doesn't abuse the working class and poor while doing so. IOW, FORCE them, along with the Republicans, to vote AGAINST a fair budget proposal. As I said, it would be a good start.

Problem is what you read was at DU and it was just a moonbat making that claim.

I don't recall the details about this moonbat budget but I do know it was not good and it would not bring down the deficit and it would not balance the budget.

Really dummie? Are you that freaking stupid? Did you actually read the damned budget proposal, that BTW, was shot down in the senate something like 98-0?

Just when I think you dummies have reached the ultimate in stupidity you dummies actually exceed that by an exponential amount.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

The OP really should have studied his C. cristada courses more.  Too obvious.
