While I realize the Rs don't care if children and the elderly starve to death ... (in fact, I suspect, they would prefer it because then they wouldn't have to pretend to give a rat's ass) ... something we all need to think about is that if Mittens was prez, he'd sign this in a New York minute.
As it is now, many children and elderly do go to bed every night hungry. No, this is not an issue of "budget". Its an issue of humanity.
There are other sources for the money we need. We do not need to take food out of the mouths of children.
Do the Democrats care about a constitutionally-mandated budget?
We need to end the GOP's "War on American's" by voting these corporate loving bitches out of office.

WASHINGTON -- The House on Thursday passed its plan to spare the military's growing budget from mandatory cuts, instead slashing Medicaid, benefits for federal workers and programs to help feed hungry Americans.
The House drew up the "reconciliation budget" in hopes of heading off automatic cuts mandated in last summer's deal to raise the nation's debt limit. Under that deal, $1.2 trillion must be "sequestered" -- that is, cut -- from the budget over the next 10 years, with about half coming from the military. Such reductions would still allow the defense budget to grow by 20 percent.
The House GOP plan passed 218 to 199, with 16 Republicans and all Democrats voting no. It replaces about $100 billion in the mandatory cuts next year and more than $300 billion over the next decade.
Rather than decrease military spending, the plan reduces projected outlays elsewhere. The proposal, which emerged from the House Budget Committee chaired by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Monday, would cut $83 billion in federal retirement benefits (equivalent to about a 5 percent pay cut), save $49 billion by capping medical malpractice lawsuits, slash about $48 billion from Medicaid programs and cut food aid by more than $36 billion.

I also feel the same way about democrats who move to the right. I voted for Obama last time, but ever since he's adopted the neocon foreign policy agenda, I will not be voting for him this time.Succinct and true.
I'll be doing my part and the way Mittens has been lying, I suspect a lot of others will too. Its not like they can actually vote for him!
It has nothing to do with the Constitution, it has only to do with rightist dogma.One is the Constitutional duty of the Federal gubmint, the other is a responsibility of local and state concerns.
Read up on it.

You are a lying piece of horse shit. But do keep it up it is so entertaining. State and Local Governments are responsible for those programs. Go ahead provide a quote from an article of the Constitution that authorizes Federal Money for such programs. You remember that document right? It spells out what the Fed can do?
Yeah, well what if all that money ostensibly earmarked for all those good things stayed in the states, rather than lining the pockets of federal bureaucrats, before they pick and choose who gets the scraps?While I realize the Rs don't care if children and the elderly starve to death ...

Until the federal government gets its house in order, way too much money is flowing toward Washington, and the states and locals have no tax base left to keep basic infrastructure intact, let alone keep all the little bastards we neglected to educate over the last 20 years from dying in the streets.
Are they cuts or (as usual) merely a reduction in projected spending?

Which do you think brings in more campaign contributions, spending a billion on defense or spending a billion on education?
