    A President so fiscally irresponsible, reckless, out of touch, so far out in extreme Left field......

    ......not one single Senator or Representative in either party of our government will vote for his budget.

    Combined with a Democrat controlled Senate that will go 4 years without passing a budget......6 Trillion of Obama (D)ebt.....a 1.5 Trillion dollar Obama (D)eficit...this has gone from ludicrous to treasonous. How anyone can claim to support the USA, and vote Democrat.....is beyond me....

    A president who constantly talks about the need for "Compromise, Bipartisanship, Working Together, Get er done".....

    .......whose budget hasnt garnered a single vote in over two years.

    The President needs to learn about traditional Keynesian fiscal policy. According to basic understanding of how the economy stabilizes from tax cuts, spending increases, tax increases, and spending cuts, a bipartisan budget is as easy as putting growth solutions on the front end, austerity measures on the back end.

    He is proposing stuff with full knowledge it will be shot down in order to blame republicans.

    This is such an obvious ploy I find it disgusting. How in the world do you propose two budgets that don't even get a single democratic vote?

    Answer: On purpose.

    Well Obama has the out of control spending part down.........A++++ on that.

    ......but seriously.....nobody needs to learn about any Keynesian policies.......unless its a lesson in what not to do.

    It is (D)isgusting........and beyond. Such a mockery of The Constituion and The United States Government......its sick.

    Im going to have to look it up.......but I dont think any other President in history has had his budget defeated in such unanimity.

    414-0.......99-0.......The Kenyan Tyrant....(D)efying the will of We The People.....

    Ironically, you could not be more wrong. John Maynard Keynes would be rolling in his grave if he was alive today. The man would not fathom the exorbitant politicization of his theories.

    Traditionally, Keynesian economic policy is quite different from how politicians employ it. First, expansionary fiscal policy does not include tax increases, but tax cuts. Second, austerity is a key component of stabilization policy. When the economy is in an inflationary gap, spending cuts and tax increases should be implemented. Politicians like to mix and match remedies which counteract each other. This leads to inefficient fiscal policy, and fiscal irresponsibility.

    Dean Heller (Nevada) had the following to say about today's budget voting, which included Obama's as well as Paul Ryan's giveaway-everything-to-the-rich proposal:

    No it did not pass The Democrat Controlled Senate.....who will go 4 years without passing a budget.....despite only needing a simple majority.

    So what is your point? Is it Paul Ryan's fault Obama's budget hasnt garned a SINGLE VOTE IN OVER TWO YEARS?

    Let's try this again for you Liberals....

    The Obama Budget got ZERO votes.... and hasn't made it past the house or senate.

    The Ryan Budget passed the house.... and there has been no vote on it in the senate because the Democrats will not allow it to come to a vote.

    The nation will fix this problem in November when the Democrats are voted out of the Senate and can no longer be obstructionists.

    No we havent played the game for 40 years....only a handful of times have Republicans been in control of the House and the purse......and coincidentially enough.... the last time we approached a balanced budget was when Republicans controlled the House.

    If you want change, if you want fiscal sanity, if your tired of the game........Vote Tea Party.

    Democrats in Congress have concluded that Obama is toxic and they want nothing to do with him and his agenda. They wouldn't dare sign their name to an Obama budget.. it would be political suicide.

    Congress has the sole responsibility of funding government operations. So if your Representative and Senator won't do their constitutional duty why do you keep voting for them? If I was President I'll tell the Congress critters to go _____ themselves and write their own _____ budget like they're supposed to do. They'll either impeach me or get busy and do their jobs but I wouldn't waste a second playing their games.

    The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has passed a budget.

    But the Democrat Senate has not.

    Nor is Obama contributing anything since his budget plan was unanimously rejected by his own party in congress.

    Well the President still has to sign it.....and considering Obama is such an extremist......who knows what would happen if The Democrat Senate actually did their Constitutional duty.

    I dont keep voting for them......I vote for Tea Party candidates or Libertarians whenever possible......but always vote Non-Democrat/Pro USA.
