Not a surprise, but interesting nonetheless.


Unanimous rejection

The budget proposal released by the White House back in February didn’t win a single vote in the Senate on Wednesday— the final tally was 0-97. Senate Republicans pushed for the vote as a counterpoint to the defeat of Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan.

POLITICO’s David Rogers reports: “The vote on the president’s plan turned into a rout, with neither Republicans nor Democrats voting in favor of taking it up. At one level, the 97-0 vote showed how out-of-date the February requests can seem after so much has changed in the spending debate already this year. But for Democrats, it also proved a convenient way to mask their substantial internal differences over how to proceed” on addressing the government’s fiscal problems.

Obama really bit off a lot more than he could chew. He knows politics, not economics!

Obama is a FAIL!

wait, does this have anything to do with that whole "govt shutting down" scare from last month...because it kind of defeats the purpose of a protest....this is exactly why laws suck because for every decision there is a counter-----It's just an unofficial civil WAR
