How can they even talk in terms of “cutting the budget” when there hasn’t been one passed since Obama took office?

Most of what they are talking about are cuts in spending increases, nothing as deaconian as a roll back of total spending to the levels of the Clinton days.

YES. But too many folk get confused between the budget and the appropriations bills. Sure there has been no budget approved and hence no guidance on what policies are to be funded and at what level, BUT THE GOP IN THE HOUSE CONTINUES TO PASS APPROPRIATIONS BILLS (CRs as of late) AND SENDS THEM TO HARRY TO RUBBER STAMP AND THEN ON THE BIG GUY IN THE WHITE HUT.

Want to get Harry and the Big Guys attention - refuse to appropriate these trillions of dollars for crap like Obamacare. The House owns the appropriations process and they cave every time, thinking of Newt and Bubba.

And yes there never have been any cuts - only "cuts" in the rate of increase. BUT NO, the state run media will never ever level with the American sheeple, so they all take another kool aid drink when listening to Zero pontificate on his media outlets like this from NBC

Dec 21, 2012 · Obama insisted he’s already met GOPers ... I met them halfway ...

0bama will get his Clinton era taxes. Taxes will be raised on all, even the poor.
0bama care taxes will be sold by the msm as the republicians fault.

Time for 0bama to figure out how to move spending back to Clinton era levels, ie below 2 trillion per year
