BREAKING: Senate Democrats Once Again Violate Federal Law, Refuse to Offer Budget

[SniperFire]

OOPS. He did it again!

'Senate Budget Committee chairman Kent Conrad (D., N.D.) will not draft a Democratic budget before the 2012 election, he announced Tuesday.'



'Senate Democratic leaders on Friday said they do not intend to bring a fiscal 2013 budget up for a floor vote.

"We do not need to bring a budget to the floor this year -- it's done, we don't need to do it," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) told reporters on Friday.'

Obama the No Budget President.

In response to the Senate Budget Committee’s refusal to mark up and vote on a budget, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan issued the following statement:

“I am disappointed to learn that Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad will not follow through on his commitment to advance a budget. The Democrat-controlled Senate’s ongoing failure to pass a budget has become one of the most embarrassing spectacles in Washington. A budget is the most basic function of government, and today’s decision by Chairman Conrad to shrink from responsibility and accountability is especially perilous given the debt-fueled economic crisis staring us in the face. This unserious approach to budgeting has serious consequences for Americans families.


“It has been three years since Chairman Conrad last advanced a budget through the U.S. Senate. That budget from 2009 accelerated the looming debt crisis by helping to jam a massive health care overhaul into law on a partisan basis.

The President and his party’s leaders are now insisting that Washington take trillions of dollars from hardworking Americans in an effort to lock in ever-higher government spending. True bipartisan solutions require the removal of partisan roadblocks like the President’s health care law and principled leadership willing to address the drivers of the debt.'

This is ridiculous. The fundamental commitment of this Congress and leadership is to present a budget for this country and it has failed FOR THREE YEARS! AND WHERE IS THE PRESIDENT INSISTING FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ON THIS ISSUE?

Reid says 'F THAT.'

He would much, much rather have Obama attempt to run the country by emergency decree.

Worst Ever.

Reid is a bandit.......

Budgets? We don't need to stinkin' budgets. Laws? We don't have to follow no stinkin' laws.

The U.S., whith President Obama hates is the U.S. of laws and not of a man.

Is it still a requirement that wingnuts take stupid pills every morning just in case a thought comes to them? We have a budget and isn't your boy Mitty gonna win and pretty much screw old people, children, and the poor as republicans do so well? Ryan has no heart no soul and he's funny looking too.

When Mitty comes to town, you fools will be in trouble too.

May the laws he chooses to violate today, come down on him and his bandito compatriots in congress like an avalanche the day after they no longer write or enforce them.

 

[Claudette]

Well of course they don't want a budget.

Its an election year. If they put forth a budget then everyone will see just exactly how they want to screw the taxpayer for another year.

 

[Avorysuds]

Very sad to see no budget. What is more sad is to see that Republicans offer a horrid budget.

Rand Paul's budget was good but he is one of the few on the conservative side of Republican party as most Republicans holding office generally lean progressive liberal these days.

You Won't Believe How Corrupt, Lazy And Stinking Rich Our Congress Critters Have Become

-[/B]-According to the Wall Street Journal, the median net worth of members of Congress is now $913,000.

-The collective net worth of all of the members of Congress increased by 25 percent between 2008 and 2010. Meanwhile, the standard of living in the United States has fallen farther over the past three years than at any other time that has ever been recorded in U.S. history.

-After adjusting for inflation, between 1984 and 2009 the median net worth of members of Congress rose from $280,000 to $725,000 while the median net worth of all Americans actually declined slightly over that same time period.

-The collective net worth of all of the members of Congress is now slightly over 2 billion dollars. That is "billion" with a "b".

-In 2009, Congress was only scheduled to be in session for 137 days out of the 365 days of the year. In 2010, Congress was also only scheduled to be in session for 137 days out of the entire year. For much more on the pathetic "work schedule" of the U.S. Congress, just check out this video.

-The net worth of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi increased by 62 percent from 2009 to 2010. In 2009 it was reported that she had a net worth of 21.7 million dollars, and in 2010 it was reported that she had a net worth of 35.2 million dollars.

The OP shouldn't have been based on a Tea Party site. I hope no one relies on this site for their facts.

Is this the new era of government regarding transparency?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Budgets are so passe, so jejune. Budgets are for Little People

Democrats don't need no stinking budgets

It really is. You can't hide what you don't produce.

 

[francoHFW]

The only thing transparent is the "no compromise, Un-American" (TIME) GOP. Now running on the tax cuts for the rich, destroy Medicare/aid Ryan Plan...they believe their own BS! LOL!
