In before someone rags me for mentioning the Ryan budget.
Perhaps if we type slow, we can point out that Ryan is not the nominee for President and Romney has not signed on to an unqualified Ryan budget? At least Ryan came up with a budget, however, and it was one with a great deal to commend it and that would have begun to stop the bleeding, and the Democrats have refused to pass one for three years now. The next President starts out his term with no budget.
The President is supposed to submit a budget necessary to fund the various governmental departments over which he is the chief administrator. The Congress is supposed to consider those requests but are the branch of government charged to put together the final (responsible and necessary) budget that the President can veto or sign. That is supposed to be done before the Congressional fiscal year begins in October. That gives Congress the guideline to pass the necessary appropriations bills to fund the Federal government.
President Obama seems oblivious to any concept of a working and responsible budget. I can't imagine a President Romney not deeming a working, responsible budget to be essential for sound fiscal management.
