The Republican-led House of Representatives passed the Paul Ryan budget that reduced Obamas spending levels by six trillion dollars over the next decade. The Democrat-controlled Senate has not passed a budget in three years," said Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist. "When President Obama tries to blame a do nothing congress for his problems .he is half right. The Democrat Senate has done nothing.
The President should be alarmed that as the economy flounders, Senate Democrats have refused to offer significant budget solutions. A serious joint address to Congress must confront the Senate Democrats abdication of their duties.
President Obama is sure to try to blame Republicans in both chambers for his administrations failed economic policies. However, on the 1,000th day without a Democrat budget, the President will be forced to explain how anyone else is to blame; it is his partys Senate leaders who have ignored their basic Congressional responsibility for almost three years.
A short look back on the fiscal recklessness of the last few years shows that if President Obama is upset about budget hostilities in Washington, he has no one to blame but himself. If he is serious about fixing the ailing economy, the President should demand Senate Democrats get back to work:
