    Good point. I guess we cant justify current wrongs with past wrongs. However, the point I was getting across is that we should expect no different.

    Because, unlike some idiots who post on this site, I don't type without knowing what I am talking about and usually look it up if I am unsure... Becuase who wants to look like an idiot right?

    So, why did you ask the question again?

    I don't know - probably when they were wording it... couldn't come together on who gets what because of interests like Ron Wyden (from Oregon) not liking that budget for the Forest Service (since we a lot of forests here) doesn’t sign… Some Dems who like the DoD don’t like how much is going to DoD and other Dems who DON’T like the DoD saying they are getting too much…

    It works that way… Not everyone agrees when it comes to handing out money! They act like kids getting candy “Why is Sally getting more candy than I am…” It’s not pretty…

    I asked the question, because you seem to believe you know all the answers.

    Because Obviously David Gregory asked the question knowing what
    the reply would be.And that is was important given the next day and
    Obama submitting a budget a wek late.Last years Obama budget
    was agot down { 97-0 }.
    This is another way that the mainstream media even - Meet the Press -
    are part of a State-run Politburo.Journalism officially died during
    the Obama Presidential campaign.It will only get worse before it
    finds a cure.

    When it comes to the Gov't, I know more than you, that is why you asked the question about "how many"... You believed, since you "DON'T" know that since there are 100 members of the senate, you need 51 to make the majority...

    As I stated, since, AGAIN, you have no clue, I asked you if all the members need to be there when ruling on the budget. Which you still haven't answered, and we both know why... Do you remember my idiot comment? Not saying you are.... of course I would never do that...

    All I have ever told ANYONE on this forum is not to post blindly and be a sheep and follow retarded information without looking up all avenues so... guess what? You don't look like an idiot...

    Also, as I stated before, I think my 30 years of Gov't service outways you reading things about the Gov't using links from this forum...

    So what, and your point is specious, Lew lied, it does not take 60 votes and the Democrats don't need one Republican vote to pass a budget resolution. They could pass Obama's plan tomorrow but Reid is the one who won't bring it up for a vote.

    About why it was or wasn't passed and who is holding it up because to a 60 vote requirement that doesn't exist?

    No.............have you?

    We should not only expect it we should demand it else vote them out. One of the primary responsibility of the Congress is the budget, spending. The Democrats have allowed us to spiral towards economic doom and all they can do is call for more money when they can't even pass a budget for what they have. And they DARE try to blame it on the Republicans.

    I think he clarified that point for you and since that point was made in the OP your whole posting here is just specious nonsense.

    Now do you want to deal with the issue or not?

    My opinion is bias… I work for the Gov’t, and if it doesn’t unfreeze raises and annual increases, I am not for it at all… It doesn’t matter to me – dems or reps… Just get the crap right the first time!

    Yes, because with great intelligence comes a greater responsibility. You put about 50 idiots in there, they’d have it worked out in about an hour… but everything would be all F’ed up two hours after that…

    If you believe its ok to take 2 years to get a budget put together and passed, that is just insane. Its been working fine since our nations founding...now all of a sudden it can't be done.

    what a crock.

    If you think that impresses anyone or gives you some higher authority your are grossly mistaken. If you didn't work for the government then perhaps you would know that any business that does not operate with a budget doesn't operate for very long.

    You should try that, the budget resolution does NOT require a 60 vote supermajority and the Democrats have enough votes, 53, to pass a budget resolution. Lew LIED.

    It's insane you have no clue what your talking about. First - how does the budget for employee pay effect you anyway? You aren't even part of the Gov't? Second - and most important, why are you trying to discuss something you know nothing about?

    What the crock is? It's people who think they know what's going on? Think, because they read propaganda that they can say that they understand... Do you get emails from what's going on with the budget? No? I do.... Do you get emails saying who's doing what and why it's taking so long? No? I do...

    And the Gov't budget hasn't been working fine SINCE it's creation... You don't know CRAP!!!

    To all reading - again, I have to say this once more, if you don't want to look like an idiot, please use the resources at hand and Google before you post retarded gibberish...

    That has happened and you can look up when budgets are worked out… Google is there, and can be useful in these situations…. Find out all kinds of things like that administration that let it happened and the President… Pretty interesting…

    After you do, bet you won’t post about Obama anymore… :)


    It does give me higher authority. If you never been to Japan and I lived there for 5 years (in the case of the Gov’t it’s 30) that give me higher authority to talk about Japan than you do doesn’t it? Or would you try to rattle off their alphabet (I don’t know if you would call that arrogance or ignorance)… Or tell me about their politics/people/habits…

    I know he lied, never said he didn’t… Do you think that is uncommon for politicians to lie? I doubt you are that blind…

    It is actually, ground breaking news that maggot heads simply do not get. "The Lie" has been around since before Obama was sworn in. They have completely gotten fools and idiots to swallow the kool aid...

    Whatever is not Bush's fault, is the Republicans fault. And, if its neither of them, like the lie that the Stimulus would keep unemployment below 8% -0 gee whose fault was that? Why the people THEY HIRED, not Obama's fault...

    Let's get really honest. If they wanted to press the issue and make the Republicans look bad, they should have tabled it and let it get defeated.

    They didn't why?

    Bceause its a Lie! An Obama Lie!

    And thanks for using oversized text....

    Actually 51 is not correct. If I am not mistaken, the rule is "simple majority". If there were only 60 Senators on the floor, then it would take 31 votes.

    The Democrats have not tabled a budget for three reasons;

    1 - They do no want you to see a specific breakdown on what certain programs are costing.

    2- They do not want the Republicans to have the ammunition that such a bill would provide them.

    3 - They are too incompetent to make a budget - they don't have a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing clue what they're doing

    I know... I posted that already... That is why I stated the part about "does all the senators need to be on the floor to pass the budget"... Because that previous poster was stating it was 51...

    Oh... They know, and this happens almost every year with every administration. So basically you are suggesting that with every administration within our lifetime, they can't fix a budget because they have no clue?

    Now, be advised - this happens EVERY YEAR!!! How do I know? Because I've been working for the Gov't for the past 30 and I get emails on it EVERY YEAR!!!

    So... now what...? You going to vote differently now since both sides "don't have a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing clue"...?

    Because you can put your forhead on the CAT6 cable and travel through time and space and find me [edit] or whomever - then tap into people thoughts and read if they are typing the truth or not...



    HA HA HAAA!!!



    You're funny.... Anything else you want to let us know Professor X?
