The Dems have only agreed to cuts in the out years and from the current baseline. We'll never see real cuts that way, and raising taxes would put a damper on job/economic growth and therefore revenues. The Dems want to continue the status quo, and the Reps want real change, meaning returning govt spending to pre '08 levels.It doesn't make sense to put out a plan that Republicans say they will reject anyways. That would waste a lot of time we do not have.
Well, maybe they could start by issuing the plan, that is to say, the budget for 2009. Or for 2010. Or for 2011.
These worthless, lying a-holes haven't had a plan, or a clue, on spending since they got the majority. They are are blindly leading us all off the cliff.
Democrats have given in to spending cuts. But the Republicans will not raise the debt limit unless Obama agress to continue the Bush tax cuts which he said he wouldn't do.
