The LEFT is so f*****g stupid when it comes to their own country. Happy to give away Liberty, the majority of their income in the form of taxes regardless of how it's spent, redistribute wealth, ignore the Constitution ... the list goes on.
Would you Democrats be happy if the Big Government held your d***s while you p****d, too? Or started telling you how to use them? (Although, judging by the sheer number of misinformed Democrats, it's clear, THAT much, you already know.)
Progressive Libs would have nothing to live for if they had no opposition in the Conservative Right.
Some of the reforms he did propose, like Congress reading all the bills they vote on, would seriously shake things up for the better.
The deficit is COMING DOWN.
Obamas last budgets called for increased deficits, even his own Senate voted it down 0-97.
Credit goes to the HOUSE.
Too bad you have NO CLUE.
BUT WAIT?
You were just offered a clue, WILL YOU TAKE IT?
If so, the prize will be PROVING YOURSELF WRONG and therefore you will never post NON-TRUTH AGAIN.
Then you can THANK MAYNARD, good day.

The House on Wednesday night unanimously rejected an alternative budget proposal based on President Obama's 2013 budget plan, dispatching it in a 0-414 rout.
White House officials said Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), the sponsor of the alternative, was using Obama's top-line spending and revenue numbers as a budget proposal, without any specifics..
The House also rejected two other budget alternatives Thursday night, including the first Congress has ever considered based on the recommendations of the Bowles-Simpson deficit reduction commission. This proposal was hailed by sponsors Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) and Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio) as the only budget alternative that members of both parties can support..

The White House sought to provide cover for Democrats to vote against the Obama budget resolution before the vote, arguing the resolution offered by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) was different from Obama’s budget because it did not include policy report language.
Democrats made the same point on the floor Wednesday in explaining their votes.
But the GOP push ...

Democrats made the same point on the floor Wednesday in explaining their votes.
But the GOP push was blunted a bit when the House Republican budget from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) faced Republican defections in a 41-58 vote.
The "no" votes included five Republicans: Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Olympia Snowe (Maine), Scott Brown (Mass.), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Dean Heller (Nev.). Heller and Brown are both in competitive reelection battles this fall.
And there has not been a budget passed since before Obama became president.
The GOP, and particularly the Tea Party wing, at every point has pushed to do the fiscally responsible thing and reduce spending.
If raising taxes would truly use the new revenue to pay down our debt, then I'd be for it. But example after example over 30 years of history prove that further taxation will only enable further deficit spending.
Only under Republican leadership of Newt Gingrich were true strides made in 1996-2001 to reduce the debt. And while Bill Clinton finally signed on reluctantly after Gingrich shut down the government --twice--- liberals like to say "Clinton reduced the deficit", which belies the true facts. Clinton very reluctantly signed a bill for deficit reduction that REPUBLICANS WROTE and that Clinton opposed every step of the way, until popular pressure finally forced Clinton to sign it.

It was the attacks on 9/11/2001 and the increased spending on Homeland Security and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that account for about 1.5 trillion of the 5 trillion deficit spending under W. Bush's 8 years as president, that eliminated the surplus. The rest consumed by expensive new entitlements like No Child Left Behind, the Prescription Drug Plan, and S-CHIP, ALL OF WHICH DEMOCRATS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTED *INCLUDING* THE 2 WARS!
