The reason we never saw a budget for the fiscal year soon ending (2011) nor will we for the next year (2012) out of the Democrats is that they put all the money they would ever need into the FY 2010 budget, Obama’s first budget. That, plus the stimulus money, bumped federal spending up to near 25% of GDP and they are more than happy with that level of spending. The fact that it can’t be financed without massive borrowing doesn’t seem to bother them. The reason all we’re hearing out of them is that we need to raise taxes is because all the borrowing bothers the rest of us, even many Dems.

That’s why all they need are more Continuing Resolutions, that keep spending at current levels, and that’s why the House Republicans have to keep saying “No.” Each Continuing Resolution from here on needs to include significant budget cuts, and they should only let them cover another 3-4 months at a time. They can use the intervening period to locate more cuts for the next Continuing Resolution. That way we keep the high spending of the Dems and their massive borrowing, as well as their continual cry for raising taxes, on the front burner into the 2012 election.

Then, if we can get a Republican majority and President in 2012, we can get back to budgeting reality instead of the World of Disney. It’s not rational to expect the Dems and Obama to agree to enough cuts at one time to justify passing a bill that extends past 2012. It would be perceived by the media as too big a coup by the Republicans and isn’t going to happen for that reason.

You have zeroed in like a laser. The Republican Party should be proud to be the Party of NO - the RATS seem to have taken that mantle from them this year. Maybe in 2012 we can get rid of even more RINOS - or the GOP has to DIE. I do not want any "across the aisle deals" - the RAT party is the enemy and must be taken out (of power). As Rush likes to say, in way there is only a winner and a loser, otherwise the war is not over (or something to that effect).

Great post the Dems have always been the children and we the adults.

They know that when they are finally thrown out of office that we will fix the problem and then get thrown out for doing so since they will never stop complaining about the way we balacne things out and the DBM will put them back in office (if they still have listeners,viewers,readers by then.
