Obama unveiled his 2016 budget in February, a $4 trillion wish list that would blow through mandatory spending caps, raise taxes, and spend nearly $500 billion on improving infrastructure. <<
spend nearly $500 billion on $25 billion worth of projects...
Just like last time.

That is a lie. The Republicans are comparing to an inflated budget . They are increasing spending over 500 billion like they always do. They are not worth spit.
This busts the sequester- just like last time: When it’s vetoed the RINOs and Dems will pass it without the savings from Obamacare repeal or entitlement savings.
Federal spending rose 8.4% last year BTW.
Somebody was saying that “repealing ObamaCare” was not really happening.
So .. is our Congress trying to pull a fast one on us .. or are they fudging the info so when Obama veto’s it, it doesn’t really do anything.
These games these people are playing is about to get to me; I’m too tired to mess with it anymore.
No such thing as a 10 year budget, this is all games
To begin with, note that the Supreme Court has clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its Section8-limited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Given that the plurality of clauses in Congress’s Section 8-limited powers deal with defense, and given that the Department of Defense budget for 2015 was $500+ billion, I will generously round up the annual price tag of the federal government to the taxpayers as $1 trillion (but probably much less).
In other words, the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx News, shouldn’t be reporting multi-trillion annual federal budgets without mentioning the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to lay taxes in budget discussions.
The reason that we now have an unconstitutionally big, tax-hungry federal government on our backs is this imo. When the Founding States established the federal Senate, they gave control of the Senate uniquely to state lawmakers. Part of the reason for having state legislatures control the Senate was so that the Senate could kill House appropriations bills which could not be justified under Congress’s Section 8-limited powers, such bills essentially stealing state revenues.
The problem is that the Progressive Movement spooked low-information citizens to pressure state lawmakers to ratify the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A). And state lawmakers caved in and ratified 17A, foolishly giving up the voices of the state legislatures in Congress.
So now, after voters elect their federal senators, they go home and watch football while corrupt senators rob voter’s wallets by working in cahoots with the corrupt House to pass unconstitutional appropriations bills.
Also, if it wasn’t for the 17th Amendment, state lawmakers might have built up a 2/3 conservative majority in the Senate by now. This means that Congress could have possibly impeached and booted lawless Obama from the Oval Office by now.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.
Wait til the Senate carves it up. The House won’t recognize the bill anymore.
“balanced budget...” what? is this a joke?
watch the kabuki over here fools, while we spend your great grandchildren into oblivion.
No bias there or examples.
Pray America is waking
Do you think they actually made cuts during the Sequester?

Our Naval base is an INLAND paper pusher, record keeping operation, BUPERS. It currently is having a huge building built, a total remodel of the Exchange that only needed a new roof. During the Sequester we saw parking lots repaved, speed bumps installed in 5 MPH parking lots Commissary and Exchange, where they were NOT needed. Along with some useless monuments of excess anchors groupings.
A lot of south side of the base was ‘fixed’ after the May 1, 2010 flood. That caused millions of $$ in damage. YES the same flood that the Nashville Music C & W stars held benefits for the folks in Nashville for. We had 1 lone FEMA bus to take applications for the city residents.
Military personnel had their own system in place for those who were flooded out of Base Housing.

It's not a balanced budget. And won't be balanced for years and years under this proposal.
