Congress Finally Passes a Budget!


After years of being throttled up in the Senate. But, it ain't “in the can” yet. It still has to go to “conference” where a selected committee of Senators and Representatives will try to work out the differences between the two versions.


And we already know that Obama has already threatened to veto any budget that doesn't include or tries to undo some of the things he's ordered or have already been enacted.


The best thing about the action is to be able to bypass any filibuster attempts.


Lots of links and sources for the story.

Have you seen whats in the bill? The Senate budget would cut $4.3 trillion from benefit programs over the next 10 years, including annulling Obama's health care law, a step the president would without doubt veto. Those savings would include $431 billion from Medicare, matching Obama's figure. The House budget would pare $148 billion from the health care program for the elderly and convert it into a voucher-like program for future beneficiaries, a step the Senate shunned.

Congress' GOP budgets both matched the spending plan that Obama presented last month when it comes to defense, proposing $612 billion for next year, a 4.5 percent boost over current levels. Some conservatives were unhappy because they wanted more of the extra military spending to be offset with savings from elsewhere in the budget.

The bill once again, is off the backs of the poor and elderly, shame

If you haven't noticed, the elderly have most of the wealth.

As for the blacks and the poor, how many more trillions do we poor down that bottomless pit with no results?

Gee, 13% blacks in this country, no wonder more whites on welfare, more whites struggling, etc.

What is it about ratios you guys can't get?

Oh, for shame, people actually cutting spending and telling others to be responsible with it.

The Senate budget would cut $4.3 trillion from benefit programs over the next 10 years, including annulling Obama's health care law, a step the president would without doubt veto.

So? Are you enrolled in Obamacare? Most of the people I hear complaining about the repeal of Obamacare are in fact not enrolled in it. Why is that?

Those savings would include $431 billion from Medicare, matching Obama's figure.

So? It would put back into Medicare what Obama took out of it to pay for Obamacare. Gee, who didn't see that coming?

The House budget would pare $148 billion from the health care program for the elderly and convert it into a voucher-like program for future beneficiaries, a step the Senate shunned.

Oh, and what of food stamps? Is this not an evil "voucher" program? Or is that different in some way?

The bill once again, is off the backs of the poor and elderly, shame

Sure, and more and more debt are heaved upon their backs. The burden is not lessened, but made greater. So, how do you suggest we cut spending? One penny at a time? Or do you even want to cut spending at all?

 

[TemplarKormac]

For the life of me, I don't know where you white folk get off thinking you're the only people that WORK and PAY taxes in this country?

And I don't for the life of me get where you think only white people pay taxes in this country? Where does race fit into this discussion?

Cause that shit is news to me, especially since my kids have all grown up, I'm paying out my ass in taxes to the man.

Then uh, you should be happy that Republicans want to cut taxes, oh, but wait, they can't cut spending because it will end some sort of entitlement program you or your kids are on. How pa-freaking-thetic.

So I have to school you, google this if you like, but there are MORE WHITES ON WELFARE, MORE WHITES WHO ARE STRUGGLING IN THIS COUNTRY THAN BLACKS.....AS FOR THE ELDERLY, I SAY F'EM, THEYRE THE ONES THAT VOTE YOU NUTS IN, DEAL WITH IT!!

Who cares? If you had your way, everyone would be on welfare. Your reverence for the elderly is quite heartwarming.

 

[TemplarKormac]

And might I ask, how many years did it take for Democrats in both the House and Senate to pass a budget?
